My name is Sanil Kagalwala and I was in the CIM and Ad Maths curriculum for IGCSE and have been doing UWC maths since Grade 7. I really enjoy mathematics and working towards the understanding of topics that are currently foreign to me. This course seems to offer the opportunity to do that with a lot of new concepts. I was originally a bit nervous about starting this course and if I could keep up but after the first couple of lessons and talking to the teachers I now see if I put in the effort required and really try to learn more about the subjects I can learn a lot in this class. I am the type of learner who likes to try things on my own but at a certain point when I have given it my all I would like it explained it to me, hence would put myself slightly towards the left side of the continuum. Typically when I am struggling I ask a friend or the teacher, if that doesn’t work I look at the answers and try to work my way backward to understand how to solve the problem, although I try to have that as the last resort. I think that with mathematics I am very curious and interested in the subjects and concepts being taught and that causes me to try my best and motivates me to understand them.
