Student’s Achievements at International, National or Regional Competitions
Annually, I teach Mathematics to over 140 students spread from 5th grade to 12th grade area, in classes
of 35 students.
At the same time I prepare the best of them to participate or even win at Olympiads and
competitions at different levels: county, regional, national, international, due to my voluntary work,
outside the school.
