Summary
I have a passion for promoting healthy learning and empowering peers, students, friends and family within their learning. This involves promoting the prioritizing self-growth, understanding the power of using theory over brute-force (for solving problems), and building a mindset that welcomes knowledge.
Throughout high school, I enrolled in all the available Honours/AP courses and graduated with Honour Roll (within the Mathematics Honours program, I graduated with "First Class Honours with Distinction"), and I have a love for taking on challenging concepts. I really enjoy teaching others what I know; I would love to professionally tutor students and build their confidence, skills and problem-solving regarding academics :,)
