WHAT MAKES HER AN AWESOME TUTOR

I remember what it feels like to be confused (it's a part of learning!), so I never rush students or make them feel behind. I explain things in a low-pressure way and celebrate small wins, because confidence is just as important as getting the right answer.

FUN FACTS

Life Goal: My goal is to become someone who bridges science, technology, and human connection, and to keep learning from the people around me along the way.

Words to Live By: "Progress over perfection." I believe consistency, curiosity, and kindness toward yourself are what actually lead to growth, academically and in life.

Favourite Mathematical Weapon: Breaking problems down into smaller pieces and checking over my solution to make sure my answer actually makes sense intuitively!
