About me - Traiko Traikovski, MSc.

For more than 30 years, I am teaching math to high school, college and university students. I owe my tremendous success to this unique teaching method: customized teaching style for each student based on their unique needs, personality and knowledge base. My goal is not just to teach, but to build long lasting trustworthy relationships with my students, make them understand and like mathematics. Most of my former students are now university graduates, with booming careers in engineering, sciences, accounting, business and economics. At one point they all thought math is difficult. Now, they don’t even think about it – they use it as a powerful tool in their professional careers.

Steps for Success

• Learning one on one.
  Studying in a group, with several students at the same time is less efficient and shows less result.
• Identifying the problem.
  I always start with an easy test to determine the current level of knowledge. The test will show how much has been missed in the previous years of study.
• Being comfortable.
  Having the lesson in the student’s home creates informal and relaxed atmosphere compared to classroom study and saves the parents a lot of valuable time that would otherwise be spent in driving or waiting.
• Staying focused.
  The sessions are 2 hours long. For 2 hours, the student can manage to stay focused and learn effectively.
• Making sure.
  After each chapter I give my students a test very similar to the one they have in school so I can make sure that there are no gaps in what we learnt up to that point.
• Involving the parents.
  It’s important for the parents to get involved in the learning process. I can be reached at any time by phone or e-mail. Your child’s success is our mutual interest and we have to work together.

Math. Is it really that hard?

There are students that want to learn and know more, but they don’t have enough time because of the numerous extracurricular activities. They may think math is hard. With some help from an experienced tutor they will become math experts with high test results and excellent grades.There are students that have time and desire to achieve better results, but don’t have the necessary knowledge. They may thing math is hard. With some help from an experienced tutor, they will first fill the gaps from the previous years of study and then focus on the current assignments and tests. With each session they will become more comfortable with math and improve their grades.
I have students who dislike math because they find it extremely difficult and frustrating, have poor concentration or cannot remember mathematical formulas and rules. In just few classes they become more proficient and comfortable and are asking for more challenging and accelerated program. Many of them show desire to understand mathematical concepts and solve problems at a level higher than what is taught at school. They all build very strong knowledge base in high school and will have much better results in college or university.
