Math is everywhere. Yet, it can be one of the most difficult subject for many students. My goal as a teacher is to first learn which subjects and hobbies that my student enjoys. And, then show how almost every topic within math is utilized by that student. Once I motivate that student to want to learn more about the subject matter, it is a matter of time before my student masters that topic and want to learn about another topic. It is a great confidence booster and a lesson for life. The student believes that if they can conquer the most difficult subject, then can master anything in life.

Q&A with Sam

As a teacher, I am there to help a student succeed. As a math teacher, I realize that math is one of the most difficult subject for most students. However, when a student can solve a challenging math problem, this can be a major confidence booster. It also gives that positive feeling to the student that s/he can do almost anything. My goal is to help develop that inner confidence within the student so that they have that confidence that they can accomplish anything.
