Meet Max.
The teacher you meet here is the person who will teach your child. Max currently teaches every HowHow Classroom lesson himself.
“Why did you think of it that way?”
That is one of the questions Max asks most often. Listening to a child explain their answer helps him find the small step that needs attention.
Max has taught in Taoyuan for ten years. He studied traffic engineering, then found a different kind of bottleneck in the classroom: a misunderstood question, a formula without meaning or a missing unit at the end of an otherwise correct answer.
Stories, everyday examples and interactive activities are ways to make these ideas easier to discuss. He also built XYLEX, a homework-review tool that suggests possible difficulties for the teacher to check. The teacher makes the final judgement.
What Max teaches
- Courses
- Elementary maths; junior-high maths and science; Chinese language and expression.
- Format
- 50-minute online one-to-one lessons on Google Meet.
- Language
- Lessons in Chinese. Parents can communicate in English or Chinese.
- First conversation
- A free 20-minute consultation to understand the child’s needs and discuss course, level, fees and timing.
A concrete classroom example
This short clip shows a child using a maths game. It is one example of how a familiar activity can become a way to engage with a question.
This is an earlier in-person activity. Current lessons are online and one-to-one. The video is in Chinese; subtitle availability varies.
