Publisher Description
Introduction In my high school years, I used to be a below average performer in Math and consistently had to struggle even to pass the exams in Math. Since a lot of emphasis is given to Math at my home and in my family circle, a student who is poor in this subject is considered to be an under achiever and a failure. Hence, amidst this pressure to prove myself as a successful student, I struggled to do whatever I could to prove myself to get a passing grade in Math. On this insistence of my parents, in my ninth grade, I took tutoring lessons during which I was made to do at least fifty problems every day. The results were amazing as I found myself to be completely transformed. I scored second highest in Math test, surprising the entire school. Even now, my former classmates remain astonished that I chose to teach Engineering and Math. But a teacher of Engineering and Math indeed is what I have become, and my memories of those early troubles now guide my strategies to help my students to become better learners.
