Math seems to be one of the least popular school subjects among most secondary students. Many find it boring or "too difficult" to suit them. My goal is to help all students improve their confidence in their mathematical capabilities as well as their perception of math. Math is not a road block for graduation, but a stepping stone to bigger and greater things.
Math has been shown to be beneficial to all who pursue it. It opens doors to better careers and financial opportunities. Studying math opens the mind to new ways of thinking and problem solving that help in all aspects of life. It increases the chances of success in other school subjects, college, job searching and performance, financial and domestic stability, and even artistic appreciation. Math makes possible all the scientific and technological advances that we take for granted.
The best way to learn and succeed in math is try and try and try. Everyone experiences difficulties in math. It requires you to think and exercise your mind. This does not come easily nor should it. As we "work out" our intellectual capabilities we will discover that we are smarter and better than we thought we were. The hard work and failure along the way only makes the results more rewarding when we achieve success.
