IGCSE Mathematics For English as a Second Language Student

**MATHEMATICIAN, BUT NEED SUPPORT CATCHING UP WITH ISGCE MATHS BECAUSE YOU'RE A SECOND-LANGUAGE ENGLISH SPEAKER**

As a secondary mathematics teacher at a British school in Madrid, a challenge faced by most of our students is adapting to learning mathematics in their second language, English.

These lessons will develop:
1. Comprehension of instructions
2. Mathematics confidence
3. Importance of the real-life implications of mathematics

Background: 5 years in Hong Kong working for two of the best private IB Schools in the world, Masters in Aerospace Engineering and in Education.

Become Fluent in Mathematics and Increase your Expected Grade

What separates high achievers from low achievers is their fluency in Mathematics. Mathematics is a language. If you are fluent in a language, you don't need a dictionary and can conjure up a sentence using your knowledge of nouns, verbs and adjectives. Mathematics is similar. If you can remember the laws and equations, your fluency and final grades increase. For example, do you use a dictionary when you speak your native tongue? Imagine if you don't need your formula sheet in mathematics. Those who are fluent in a language are more confident in speaking it. This is the same with mathematics. What these lessons do: 1. Identify the foundational gaps 2. Support and develop student's fluency 3. Increase their predicted grade My past two schools in Hong Kong averaged IB scores of 41. These are the best in the world. In GCSE, a student was never predicted below a 6. I have a Master in Aerospace Engineering and a Master in Education. I was previously a qualified teacher in Hong Kong for 5 years before moving to Spain. I want to use my skills to help.

English Language and Spanish Literature. Students, especially high school and high school students
The objective to follow in these individual classes is to instruct the student both from a basic level and even if they already have certain knowledge and guide them on the learning ramp. My experience lies, to a greater extent, in dealing with ESO and Baccalaureate students. Therefore, I include as something fundamental the completion of the corresponding daily tasks and the weekly evaluation of what was learned throughout it. All this transmitted closely and without saturation. I instruct both those who just want to pass their exams, keep up with their homework and pass, as well as those who want to learn the language.
