The studies of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence - Charles caleb cottonThese days, anyone who hears me say, "I love maths" thinks I've always loved maths but that's far from the truth. I struggled with maths and even failed my GCE in maths ( an equivalent if gcse).So many teachers tried teaching me but I just could not grasp the concepts because they used the same methods I struggled with at school and never worked on finding out what the cracks were in my knowledge.A house built on a faulty foundation cannot stand the test of time.One day I met the greatest teacher in the world,  in my opinion, because not only was he able to teach me maths but he made me love maths. The quote above pretty much sums up how he taught me. He started from the basics, no assumptions made and he used all sorts of new methods to teach me. He showed me that there were so many ways to learn any topic.I retook my gce in maths and got the highest grade possible, won an award in maths, studied engineering,  taught other students that were tagged "hopeless in maths" and got my daughter ready for her gcse in maths by age 6.It doesn't matter how bad any one is at maths, if they have a desire to learn and time, I can teach them maths.
