START WITH WHAT WORRIES YOU

You keep reminding them.
How can they start more independently?

Choose a familiar situation. Explore how Arno connects maths learning, practice habits and clear follow-up.

A clear plan should say what to practise, what to review and what happens next.

02 / THE TEACHING PROCESS

A lesson is part of
a learning journey.

Each lesson connects to the next.
A plan, a practice task, and useful feedback.

01

Understand

Review the school outline and recent work, then use short tasks to distinguish conceptual gaps from calculation, reading or strategy difficulties.

02

Plan

Set lesson priorities and revision targets, connecting school progress, missing foundations and upcoming assessments.

03

Practise

Use tailored handouts and tiered practice: explanation, guided examples, independent work, then variations or deeper inquiry.

04

Reflect

Provide lesson feedback and practice tasks. Review corrections and revisit key skills before deciding the next step.

04 / MEET ARNO ZHANG

I teach the reasoning.
And pay attention to the person.

I'm Arno Zhang, a graduate of the University of Toronto's mathematics department and a mathematics teacher at an international school in Toronto. With more than five years of one-to-one tutoring experience, I focus on personalized K–12 teaching plans: clear goals, tailored handouts, tiered practice and ongoing follow-up, shaped around school learning and individual needs.

The rigorous training of a university mathematics department shaped my attention to definitions, logic and complete reasoning. I bring that precision into clear explanations: why a formula works, when it applies and how a student can check a conclusion.

I have worked with many students whose foundations were incomplete. I prepare lessons around the individual, creating handouts, focused exercises and review tasks rather than giving everyone the same worksheet.

I explain in English and Chinese as needed, while helping students use the mathematical language required in school. Lessons move from visual understanding and guided practice toward clear reasoning and independent solutions.

“A correct answer matters. Knowing why—and being able to do it again—matters just as much.”

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we begin

What should we prepare before a consultation?

A school outline, recent homework or tests, and your main learning goals help identify a useful starting point.

Can lessons combine revision with current school topics?

Yes. The balance should follow the student's actual needs and current school topics, and can be adjusted after practice.

How are fees and schedules arranged?

Confirm the course, lesson length, schedule, and fee before starting. A monthly schedule can make the planned lessons and payment clear.
