when I solved the challenges, and I was attracted to answer every question accurately.

Q. Is there anything you could say to the students who think that math is hard and
struggle with Math?

Even though I keep studying Math, it’s still difficult for me (laughing). When you
face a difficult problem, I want you to not be afraid and to keep at it because other

Q. What had been the most rewarding moment in your teaching career?

The reason why they think English is difficult is because they think of English as a
subject that they have to get a good grade at, not as a subject that they enjoy. Then, if
their grades are bad, they just give up and lose interest. People don’t wanna do things
when they feel they are bad at them. If you think “the one who gets a good grade” is
