In addition, I adopt the following to enhance my students performance: grouping students for active group discussions, allowing them to present assigned portions of the course materials in the classroom, writing on assigned topics from the textbook to improve their learning and writing skills, taking quizzes, and solving problem sets in and out of the classroom. In my interactions...

Meanwhile, I've tutored family and friends in geometry, trigonometry,...

I heard someone say that everyone starts out liking math. But they meet that one math teacher or class or even a problem that intimidates them, possibly embarrasses them. And they build a wall and find it hard to continue liking math. I want to show them an easier way to understand the concepts; I want people to like math.
