About Me:

I am a student at a top California High School. For me, the feeling of fully understanding material is almost irreplaceable. The only feeling that could top it is helping someone else reach that feeling. I believe that everybody learns differently and teachers and tutors have to understand that. There is hardly ever a need to brute force a concept since there are many many ways to realize the material.

Education & Relevant Training:

  • 5 in AP Calculus BC and AB
  • 5 in AP Physics I
  • 5 in AP Chemistry
  • B+ in Multivariable Calculus
  • AP Scholar with Distinction

Experience:

  • Have tutored teammates in an effort to prevent grade cuts
  • Have the patience to come up with multiple ways to explain a concept.

Teaching Philosophy:

I believe that there is no one approach. I like to break down concepts further and further and in different ways until students understand.

Hobbies and Interests:

  • Playing volleyball
  • Going out in nature
  • Working out
  • Basically any physical activity.
