Teaching

From first lessons to university classrooms.

Teaching focus

Teaching has been part of my life since 2015. I have supported learners across primary, junior high, senior high, and tertiary education, developing a flexible approach that meets students where they are and helps them move forward with confidence.

At Concordia University, I have led tutorial sessions for MATH 200, MATH 203, MATH 204, and MATH 208, and have had the opportunity to instruct a university course. These roles have strengthened my ability to guide students through mathematical ideas, encourage active problem-solving, and create a classroom environment where questions are welcome.

Earlier, I served as a Teaching and Research Assistant at the University of Energy and Natural Resources in Sunyani and at the University of Ghana in Legon. Those experiences deepened my commitment to academic life and helped prepare me for the responsibilities I hope to take on as a future professor.

Teaching principle

Students often have more potential than they can yet see. My role is to help them see it, practise it, and put it to work.

Initiatives

Creating spaces where learners can go further.

The Next Newton Project

Think boldly. Solve deeply. Become the next Newton.

The Next Newton Project is a personal initiative I am building to help students develop a lasting love of mathematics. It is grounded in a belief I have formed through years of teaching: students often have much more potential than they think they do.

The project will create challenges and learning opportunities for junior-high, senior-high, and tertiary students in Ghana. Its aims are to strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving, encourage academic confidence, and help learners prepare for graduate study and a changing job market in Africa and around the world.

Prof. Newton (AJS) on YouTube

Mathematics, statistics, and actuarial science become easier to understand through clear explanations and step-by-step worked examples.

The lessons are for students who want to strengthen their understanding, practise problem-solving, and learn at their own pace. Subscribe, and suggest a topic you would like me to explain next.

Research and study-abroad mentorship

I mentor students and assist them with research projects and study-abroad guidance.

Alongside my academic and consulting work, I draw on my own experience to help students think through research questions, strengthen their academic plans, and approach opportunities with greater clarity.
