Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
Beginner - Advanced Level
This ongoing enrichment Math class meets once a week. The focus is on word problem solving that helps students develop various problem solving strategies and prepare Math competitions such as AMC8 and Math Olympiad or the SSAT / ISEE tests. 

My teaching approach is interactive and engaging, aiming to make the learning experience enjoyable and effective. I believe in providing clear explanations, guided practice, and continuous support to ensure that my students grasp the concepts thoroughly.

If you're seeking a reliable and experienced math teacher, I invite you to message me to discuss how I can help you or your child achieve success in math. Let's work together to unlock your full potential and master the world of Mathematics!
