In my free time, I love playing music, playing volleyball, and going on long runs in the country.

...teaching and walking fellow classmates through problems they had trouble with at any grade level. I make sure the student is sure of all concepts before going forward, as I believe having a solid grasp of fundamentals and prior concepts is essential in understanding new ideas in Maths.
