Information About Jaroslav:

Personal Description:

I am a 27 years old male PhD student, with double background: in Mathematics and Psychology. Maths is my big love and pillar of my career and Psychology my big interest. That's about me, since I can't think of anything more which would be of general interest at this stage.

Teaching Experience:

Almost 10 years of one-to-one tuition experience
prepared and have led math preparation course for university entrance exams
altogether 4 semesters worth of demonstrating or teaching undergraduate courses in foundations of mathematical analysis, statistics and research methodology in leading Czech Universities during my postgraduate studies.
I am happy to send my CV if you take these things seriously.

Tutoring Approach:

PFFF: patient, focused, fun, flexible

In more words:

I love teaching, since I find it really rewarding to see the student overcome the hurdles and suddenly realise that maths (or another subject) is much simpler than it seemed to be. It is tricky to try to describe one's "Approach to Tutoring", but one thing I can say is that what people usually point out when they say I make a good teacher is, that I succeed in translating the subject to language of the audience. From my subjective point of view, I just try to go where the student is with his understanding and misunderstandings and work directly with his "mental representation", instead of general truth. The fact that one-to-one tuition enables me to do this even more effectively makes me like it even more than the lecturing (well, then it is much more about establishing contact with the audience and keeping their attention).

Qualifications:

• MSc Mathematical Modelling, Czech Technical University, Prague, 2001-2006
• MSc Clinical Psychology, Charles University, Prague, 1999-2005
• I am happy to send my CV if you take these things seriously.
