Why MCO?
From the experience of Hill Yin and Eric Wu, who have made numerous math tutorial videos for Alliance of Youth Leader in the United States (AYLUS), they both felt that creating tutorial video not only helped them to understand the math concept in great details, but also extremely helpful to improve their public speaking skill and build strong self-confidence. This process benefits them in many aspects.
