What stood out immediately was Jordan’s ability to connect with his students on a personal level. He has clearly built a strong rapport, creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere where students felt comfortable asking questions and sharing their thoughts. This bond was crucial in fostering a positive learning environment, helping his student overcome her anxieties about complex topics.
Jordan’s teaching style was clear. He used a created real-life examples and interactive problem-solving exercises that made abstract mathematical concepts understandable. By breaking down difficult topics into manageable chunks, he ensured no misunderstanding was left behind. He didn’t just lecture; he facilitated discussions, encouraged peer collaboration, and continuously checked for understanding, adapting his approach based on student feedback.
Another highlight was Jordan’s use of whiteboards to enhance learning. Making the lesson visually stimulating and easy to follow.
