About the role
A secondary mathematics teacher teaches topics from basic algebra up to exam level, prepares students for WAEC and other exams and supports students who find the subject hard. The panel is checking your subject knowledge and how clearly you explain it.
How to prepare
- Pick a tricky topic and practise explaining it two different ways.
- Know the exam syllabus for the classes you would teach and the topics students struggle with most.
- Prepare an example of helping a struggling student improve.
- Think through how you keep a mixed ability class moving together.
- Be ready to share how you use past questions without just drilling them.
Common mistakes
- Showing strong maths but explaining it in a way students cannot follow.
- Relying only on drilling past questions.
- Writing off weak students instead of finding where the gap started.
