I have a dream ...
I have a big dream. My dream is for every child in every school to fall madly in love with mathematics.
But dreaming is not enough. Therefore,

I’m not the first and I can very confidently say that I won’t be the last to say this:

Let's Connect
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join the the Mathery Club, a community dedicated to the dream of embuing all our children with sustainable enthusiasm for mathematics.
Mathematics is for life, not just for exams
In this blog, I hope to cover such topics as factors that affect students' motivation to study mathematics and mathematics adn exam anxiety.
