This year I had registered as a coach for Math to teach the students in grades 3-5 who register with North South Foundation (NSF). My 7-year old son participated in a spelling bee competition a few months back and came home interested in doing more Math. NSF also has a program to coach students during the year before the competitions. So I took the plunge to not only register Manu for Math (he will be in the MB1 Program) but also register myself as a coach for MB2 Program for the 3-5th graders.
There are about 12 parents from across the USA, who had registered for the MB2 class. Today I attended a well organized coaches’ training program. I am excited to have the opportunity to learn more and contribute along the way. It reminds me of the days when I taught math and computer science in high school and in the undergraduate days, nearly 25+ years back.
Below is the introduction I sent to the first registrants. The classes will start in October and run for 15 sessions.
