Hi! My name is Swayam Shah, and I am a junior attending Enloe High School. I have taught multiple middle school math courses through nonprofit organizations, took AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC as a freshman, Calculus 3 and Differential Equations as a sophomore, and am taking AP Statistics as a junior. I did Double SSA in elementary school and took two math courses a year in middle school. From my own experience, I know what it takes to reach advanced levels of math. In my free time, I enjoy working out, playing football, and hanging out with my friends. My passion for teaching comes from my love of sharing knowledge and helping others!
I will be teaching a math curriculum for elementary school students who want to take the SSA math test and skip a math course, so they can learn accelerated math throughout middle and high school.
What is SSA?
SSA, or Single Subject Acceleration, is a WCPSS program where students can take a test to skip a math course. This allows them to take advanced classes throughout middle and high school. I took the SSA test in elementary school, which gave me the ability to take AP Calculus AB & BC as a 9th grader.
Even if you are not part of WCPSS, this course is a great way to learn advanced math and get ahead of your peers!
