Why I haven’t been posting
It’s been quiet here for a long time. The reason is simple: studying and working as a lecturer. I decided to put my knowledge to good use and help children prepare for a gymnasium (a type of secondary school in Europe).
Exams for these schools consist of two parts: a math test and a Czech language test. The math test is quite challenging because it requires a lot of logical thinking and problem-solving skills. The Czech language test is also quite difficult because it requires a good knowledge of grammar, and every elementary school teaches differently.
The job experience
I’ve been an employee of tutoring company Vzdělávací centrum doučse, z. s. since August 2024. I was quite excited about it, as I thought it would be a great opportunity to share my knowledge and help others. However, I quickly realized that being an employee has some rules and I’m glad I’ve learned them quickly.
Still a coder in my heart
Maths is an essential part of programming. I often find myself solving problems that require a deep understanding of mathematics. That way, I could help my students with their math problems and also teach them how to think logically and solve problems in a systematic way.
And as they often asked for some math exercises, I made a whole website for them. I used Next.js and Nextra to create a simple website with math exercises. That way, I still could code and help my students at the same time.
