Description
Have you ever wondered about the perception of math, especially the idea that there are "math people" and "non-math people"? As parents, how can we guide our kids through their math journey? In this episode, we debunk myths surrounding STEM subjects and delve into the world of Women in STEM. We've brought in a special guest, Vanessa Vakharia, also known as the "Lady Gaga of Math Education." Vanessa is the founder of The Math Guru, a unique math and science tutoring studio in Toronto. She's an author, a rockstar, and a math education expert who aims to make math as cool as Taylor Swift songs. Join us for an enlightening and fun conversation as we chat with Vanessa, who once failed math in Grade 11 — twice — and found it to be the best thing that ever happened to her. Get ready for some math positivity and insights on transforming math culture!
