Teacher Jes

Teacher Jes does not believe in the line “I’m not a math person”. She teaches students to see how maths affects their daily lives even subconsciously. She wants the students to take a liking to solving Maths problems and gradually remove the fear of the subject. It’s natural to feel anxious about the unknown and therefore students must be taught to understand the question's requirements and equip themselves with formulas and methods before tackling them. In this way, one can change the view of Mathematics from a dreadful subject to an engaging video game that requires solving a battle scenario before heading to the next level; if you don’t get it right, no issues, read the scene again, use another method and then you score! After a while, the lower levels will seem easy, just like in Maths. Teacher Jes recommends regular practice and revision of work as that makes Maths familiar.

Something known builds confidence and anxiousness is replaced with motivation.

She thinks this in return would make a student feel better at securing a better grade in their exams. She gives feedback to parents regularly and encourages mini celebrations when students progress.
