...their questions for 1 year. I have also odd private tutoring on the side and have done online tutoring with BrainFuse, which includes tutoring students from K-12 the grade in various subjects such as math and sciences and have enjoyed it.

...to instill that mathematical awareness in my students. A bit of background about myself: I grew up in Skokie, Illinois (a suburb just North of Chicago), and I'm currently studying mathematics and computer science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My father is Mike Byster, a human calculator who has devoted his life to helping...

...busy studying or going to school, I like doing all sorts of sports and activities. I naturally found my passion for tutoring when my friends would ask me questions about the HS subjects we were studying together.

Outside of academia, I actively practice art by painting, drawing, or doing digital art. I also play tennis and do yoga when I am not practicing the piano and drums.

I am currently at freshman at Northwestern University majoring in computer science. I tutored students in math throughout high school and would love to continue doing so!
