Example on the board: f(x) = 2x + 3
Çağrı Köktaş.
Mathematics teacher.
Hello, I’m Çağrı. I teach SAT, Cambridge and LGS mathematics.
Where do we start?
Example on the board: 2x + 3 = 11. 2x = 8; x = 4.
SAT mathematics.
There’s more than one way to solve this equation. We also discuss when each method is useful.
Why is x equal to 4?
Algebra, functions, data analysis and geometry. We identify gaps first, then work on question types and time management.
Example on the board: y = x²
Cambridge mathematics.
We’re not just finding an answer. I also want you to explain how you reached it in mathematical terms.
How do I explain it?
I am a Cambridge-approved maths teacher. Lesson level and scope follow your school programme. We work on connecting concepts and expressing mathematical reasoning.
Example on the board: 6² + 8² = 10²
LGS mathematics.
Let’s break the long question into parts. What information are we given? What do we need next?
Start with what we know…
We fill in gaps and work through reasoning questions together. We practise separating the information in longer questions, building a solution and checking it.
Outside lessons.
Outside lessons, I play computer games and enjoy film and TV conversations. I can talk about The Lord of the Rings for quite a while.
And a film conversation.
I play computer games and enjoy talking about films and TV. The Lord of the Rings is a favourite. Being able to talk comfortably and share a laugh matters to me.
How do lessons work?
We can pause at any point that’s unclear and revisit it with a different example or another method.
I’m a little stuck here.
We discuss your current understanding, goals and tricky topics first. Then we work through examples and practise with questions. If you’re under 18, a parent can join the first conversation.
Shall we try a question?
Three short questions about patterns, percentages and geometry. Choose an answer, check a hint and read the explanation.
3 SHORT QUESTIONS
A pattern, a percentage and a geometry question.
A few answers.
01Which programme is right for me?+
Look at SAT lessons if you are preparing for the SAT, Cambridge lessons if you follow a Cambridge curriculum, or LGS lessons if you are preparing for LGS. If you are unsure, we can discuss it in our first conversation.
02Can I start if maths isn’t my strongest subject?+
Of course. Everyone has a different starting point. We identify the topics you find difficult and work at a pace that suits you, building strong foundations.
03Are lessons online or in person?+
Lesson format, location and available times are discussed during the introductory conversation. Let’s work out what suits you and your schedule.
04How are pricing and schedules decided?+
Fees and scheduling are shared after discussing the programme, lesson frequency and scope. Get in touch for current details.
05Can parents be involved?+
Yes. For students under 18, we recommend including a parent in the first conversation. Goals and lesson arrangements are discussed together.
Here are some answers about lessons. We can talk about any other questions you have.
Let’s talk about lessons.
Tell me which programme you are studying and which topics you would like to work on.
Students and parents are welcome to get in touch.
If you’re under 18, a parent can join the first conversation.
See you soon.
