Tansel Pope loves math. It shows in the way he lights up when a student at El Cerrito High School gives him the correct answer to a particularly tough calculus problem. It shows when he excitedly describes how the school's math department reorganized a couple of advanced mathematics classes to avoid overlapping curriculum. It shows when he reminds the students in his after-school study program about the upcoming AP calculus exam. The students want to be just like him.
Students get extra help as well.
