I love simplifying complex scientific/mathematical concepts and re-imagining them in different ways to foster a deeper understanding of the material.

My goal is to help foster a love of learning and work with those I tutor to both learn from them and help them learn themselves. I love to teach and learn, and I hope that that is passed on to those I tutor.
