Tom Minsof
Pure Mathematics
About me:
Hello! My name is Tom and I am an experienced maths tutor who believes in nurturing the unique capabilities of every student.
Educational Background:
Studies in mathematics consisting of a bachelor degree in Applied mathematics as well as a one year unit course in statistical inference and
Probability theory all attended at the Department of Mathematics , University of Oslo.
Professional Experience:
I have been working as a tutor on a private basis. I have worked for Children’s welfare as a Math’s teacher/tutor for children and youth experiencing
Learning difficulties due to challenging situations at home. Avocational work as a math tutor for an non-profitable organisation in Oslo helping
Children of minority background.
Teaching Philosophy:
No two students are the same, we think, act and perceive things in a different way. My goal as tutor, is to tap in to the students
Way of thinking and make the language of mathematics accessible and comprehensible. Often time the students are struggling with the
Maths and they almost see it as something beyond their capacity or even something not relatable. I try to make sense of the maths in a way
So that they can relate it in their own life and experiences. The result are not only reflected in improved grades but the whole attitude towards
Mathematics shifts as well.
Why Choose Me:
I belive that I can be an asset to the students because of my education as well as my experience, yet bringing in the personal connection
With the student can make those sessions more engaging and fun.
