Hello,
I'm an international student, but please be as harsh as you can.
Any comments and critique will be welcomed.
Instruction: Briefly elaborate one of your extracurricular activities in high school.
Two years ago I was one of volunteer high school students to teach math to secondary school kids. After a few days of teaching, I realized they couldn't solve complex problems because of their lack of knowledge in basic math. I saw that it was essential for them to understand where their weak areas were, even though it meantasking for help and revising materials from several years back in their education. However, not all of them were willing to ask for help and show, as they thought, their weak areas in math and many resisted to. After a few experiments, I came up with a simple game to learn math. Taking in account they were still kids, learning math playing games made them feel more comfortable with each other and easy to learn together. Not all of them became excellent mathematicians, but, I believe lots could keep up with their more accomplished classmates, while I felt having helped someone to understand and enjoy math.
