Vanessa the Math Guru
Get your math fortune told and learn some math hacks. Vanessa used to hate math. In fact, she failed grade 11 math twice! She changed her perspective and went on to earn her Masters in Mathematics Education and now runs a successful Math Tutoring business. You might have heard her recently on the CBC talking about her views on the state of our current Math curriculum and how to cope with Math Anxiety.
Vanessa is also the author of Math Hacks with Scholastic (which will be available for $13)
