I am currently helping girls in the community with Maths. I started this because most students think Maths is difficult, they don't realize that they lack practice, and also i wanted to erase the perception that only boys can do well in maths.

One of my favourite books about teaching is called The Myth of Ability. Its written by an award-winning playwright who started tutoring math to pay his bills. He makes the case that building confidence in students is so important to success in math. And practice!
Thanks so much for sharing this with us and with your students!
