Mathematics has always been a subject of great interest. However, I did not always do well in my grades during elementary school, until high school. As I took an advanced placement class, I became motivated and suddenly achieved straight A's in all my math classes. Ever since then, I have been helping peers by teaching them math within and outside of my classrooms. I found that teaching was my passion, so I volunteered to teach kids in public schools in Indonesia at a nearby church. This is due to the lack of proper education in those schools, and my goal was to help build their foundation in math. I believe that math is the basis to excel in all subjects, and I truly believe that math is a foundation necessary for most subjects. I even proceeded to teach students in my community college as an academic tutor in two places, both online and in person. I enjoy learning and teaching math, all from elementary maths up to differential equations, and I hope to help students unlock their potential and open a door for a great future ahead of them.
