Math Contest Course for Students
Gr. 5-7
Instructor:
Andy Liu
Hello, my name is Andy and I am currently a grade 9 GATE student. I love math, and have been self-learning to levels beyond the curriculum of my age. I finished grade 12 math while I was at grade 6 and now am learning calculus. I’ve won awards in math contests such as the CEMC Waterloo and AMC math contests. I have also been publishing videos tutoring calculus on YouTube. I am positive that we can learn some tips and tricks in mathematics. In addition, I have won several awards in speech and debate including first place in the provincial speech tournament, and I am hoping my combined skills in math and speech can help you learn as well.
