Online coaching for school students by future mathematics teachers

As Manager of Maths Coach Online in Linköping (Linköping University), I am responsible for operating and developing this activity in the region as well as nationally in Sweden. The purpose of Maths Coach Online is to provide qualified help to primary and secondary school pupils, develop our future mathematics teachers, and conduct research on internet learning.

My job consists of recruiting and training coaches, marketing the service to students and teachers through school visits and meetings, and coordinating collaboration with the other nodes in Stockholm (KTH Royal Institute of Technology), Gothenburg (University of Gothenburg) and Birmingham (Aston University).
