4Re teaching/tutoring - you might want to check out upchieve.org. They provide free math tutoring to low income and minority students through their online portal. You may want to consider volunteering as a tutor with them as a way of brushing-up on your math skills, and helping out some low income and minority students at the same time.– mti2935Commented May 23, 2021 at 10:45

4I had a professor in college who said the only time people know Calc 2 is when they're teaching it. It just fades out of their minds and they forget how to do some of the more complex integrations despite having taught it 5-10 times. There's nothing wrong with forgetting information, but teaching definitely is a great way of retraining your brain to think in certain ways.– Robin ClowerCommented May 24, 2021 at 19:23

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
