WHAT MAKES HIM AN AWESOME TUTOR
I know passion like no other! I strive to see success in all of my students' endeavours and have such a passion for teaching the subjects that I love. I'm also very patient and perceptive! If you're just not getting something, I have a knack for shaking up your perspective and helping you see things in a new light.
FUN FACTS
Life Goal: My goal is to be in a place where I can reflect my good fortunes with others. I believe that I have been blessed in my life in so many different ways, so I want to make sure I live each day making the world a slightly better place one person at a time.
Words to Live By: "You see things differently, and that's a gift"
Back in high school, I was a below average student—but it wasn't until a Computer Science teacher pulled me aside one day and said these words to me. I really started to believe in myself and see potential in what I was after hearing his faith in me. No other teacher had ever said something like that to me before. That moment changed everything. It made me want to work harder, aim higher, and eventually, help others feel that same spark of inspiration.
Favourite Mathematical Weapon: Everything is always better when done together! Working in pairs is my favorite way to practice math -- me and a friend work on the same problems individually, and then compare our strategies when we either hit a wall, or solve the problem. It's always a good idea to see other people's strategies and its always nice having someone to help you out if you get stuck.

Fave Tech device: My personal computer -- I built it myself when I was in high school, and is worth more than money can buy. Lots of great sentimental value and memories.
Fave Book: It's hard to name a first favourite, but I'm a pretty big horror fan, so it would have to either be:

Spring Day by BTS
OKAY by ASH ISLAND

When you're not crunching numbers: I'm either listening to music, playing video games or watching anime with my friends
What's the best thing about you? My family would say it's my reliability and loyalty. My friends would say it's my kindness and empathy. But I am most proud of my drive and determination!
NERD ALERT!
I'm a huge nerd! I love kpop/khiphop, I'm a competitive Smash Bros Ultimate player, I built my own computer when I was 16 and I have watched more horror movies than I can count!
