I wonder just how many people were greatly put off mathematics by bad teachers at the primary(elementary) and secondary(high school)level? It might seem that only poor students blame their teachers, but I do remember that my mathematics teachers looked bored and or harassed, went at the pace of the slowest student and made the entire subject seem hopelessly abstract and very very dull as a consequence.

Unfortunately, my guess is, most.

Is it possible to learn Maths on your own? Is there some strategies to learn it, practice it and examinate what we have learnt?

[chychochycho]

Sure, you can learn it on your own. First thing you have to do is to figure out where to start from, i.e. how much math you know. Find out what your schools use as text books and trying going through them. If you find the questions too easy, then move up a grade, if too hard, then move down.

Chycho, I wanted to let you know I failed the math portion for the college (again). I am going to get into college prep math. You really helped me. I know SOOO much more than I did when I first found your videos. I will continue to watch as I continue to learn. I am even having my children watch your videos now. Thank you so much Chycho.

d'oh... sorry to hear about the test :( ... glad to hear that it's making more sense though, which is a huge step in the right direction and should make your prep math class that much easier. As for the kids, coolio :) ... how does the saying go, "a family that studies together stays together"... or something like that :)

[chychochycho]

If you feel comfortable with it, why not... and just for the record, it shouldn't really be about how you look, it should be about learning as much as you can, especially in high-school because you're not paying for your classes the way you will be in college/university/polytech/et­c...i.e it will be a lot cheaper to take it now than later.

@chychochycho yes if it wasn't for me spending the past month with your tutorials I wouldn't have been able to help my 7th grader with her math yesterday,
