My school has a leveling system in math, dividing students into A, B, and C classes based on their grades. I'm sometimes a little frustrated with this system, as I feel homogeneous classes minimize opportunities for discussion between lower-level students and their more advanced peers, and they rely heavily on the teacher. Furthermore, teachers with creative, accessible, and experienced teaching methods often teach A classes, while the B and C students, who are constantly repeating basic material, need varied explanations and relevant methods. This also makes A classes view the subject as a competition for grades, not for in-depth understanding.
At that time, in 10th grade, the idea crossed my mind to try tutoring those in lower grades. I joined a teaching community on Instagram and tried to get my B and C classmates to help them with their math lessons. I heard many of them complain about the teachers, the material stuck in the same place, and their classmates sometimes being unhelpful because they were in the same situation.
What I knew for sure was that they needed discussion partners who were more knowledgeable than them and could explain things in our language, in a more relaxed and relatable way. When the final exam results came out, many of them thanked me because they got satisfactory results and offered my services to their friends.
Hi, I really need criticism and suggestions for the following piece of my essay, thank you.
