Sanchi C.
Hey, I’m Sanchi Chauhan, Here’s a little about me: I hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics and have over 6 years of teaching experience. I’ve worked with students from Grade 3 to Grade 10, and I’m also experienced in teaching higher-level mathematics, including A-level content. My teaching style is friendly, approachable, and focused on creating a safe, encouraging space where students feel free to ask questions and engage in the learning process. I aim to make math not just easy to understand, but also enjoyable and relevant to real life. Whether it’s solving word problems, understanding core concepts, or exploring patterns in everyday life, I believe in making numbers come alive. In my online teaching journey, I’ve also had the opportunity to work with students with ADHD and Autism, and I approach every learner with patience, adaptability, and a focus on their individual strengths. I believe that when children feel heard and supported, their confidence grows—and so does their love for learning. Many parents have shared that their children not only improved academically, but also began to look forward to their math lessons. For me, that’s the ultimate reward. I look forward to bringing that same energy, care, and clarity to your child’s learning journey! I began my academic journey with a strong foundation in Science and Mathematics, having completed my 12th grade with these core subjects. I then pursued my graduation in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, which gave me a broad and analytical understanding of the sciences. I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Mathematics, deepening my knowledge and sharpening my skills in both theoretical and applied aspects of the subject. To further enhance my ability to teach and connect with students effectively, I also earned a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree. This training equipped me with the right pedagogical techniques, classroom management skills, and child psychology insights—especially important for creating a positive and engaging learning environment. Together, my academic background and teaching qualifications allow me to approach each lesson with both subject expertise and an understanding of how children learn best.
