Bishoy
Engineer with a Bachelor’s in Communication and Electronics, 5+ years teaching math, skilled at simplifying complex ideas.
"I'm an engineer, and I really enjoy teaching mathematics in an easy and simplified way, without any complexity. I have a skill for conveying information effortlessly. I understand that mathematics is a challenge for many people, but we’ll make it one of the easiest and most enjoyable subjects. Once you understand mathematics and know how to solve problems, it becomes one of the most enjoyable and rewarding subjects for you, and you won't want to study anything else. I explain and repeat once, twice, even three times until you understand well. The most important things for me are your focus and getting the homework done. We'll explain in multiple ways until the concept reaches you and you fully understand it. Of course, during the session, we’ll go through lots of examples together.
