Math teachers in my memory

My favorite math teacher is my primary school math teacher. He made learning math fun and easy by using shapes to teach us about functions. Instead of feeling scared about these tricky math ideas, I felt excited to learn. He also always praised my progress, which made me even more confident. His way of teaching showed me that math doesn't have to be hard or confusing. Thanks to him, I not only got better at math, but I also started to really like it.

During my childhood, I was fortunate enough not to encounter a math teacher I didn't like. However, it was only later, when I worked as a math tutor, that I came across a teacher I couldn't agree with. This high school math instructor consistently taught incorrect mathematical theories and insisted on marking all of his students based on these flawed principles. It was disheartening to witness, as it not only hindered the students' understanding of math but also undermined their confidence. In my opinion, such an approach to teaching math is detrimental and can have long-lasting negative effects on a student's academic journey.
