I once told my pupils after appearing on Netflix’s dating show #IndianMatchmaking:
“I wasn’t born being able to do maths. I definitely wasn’t born being able to date.” 😅 (I think I'm better at dating now mind you!)
Maths is a skill - not a talent you’re simply born with. Confidence with numbers can be built step by step. 💡
