...data at sea and wrangling data from the internet. I also volunteered to assist a math class at an alternative high school once a week. This taught me the importance of teaching the subject and not merely showing how to solve problems.

I am your go-to tutor for anything involving nature on a macro scale.

My goal is to try to help others that need help so that they do not have to do everything by themselves.

...is synonymous with long term retention, which in-turn facilitates the ability to apply knowledge and think laterally when the opportune moment presents itself in the real-world. To truly learn is to discover knowledge through experience and lots of practice which invokes the confidence to overcome challenges while simultaneously lifting inhibitions in regard to tackling new problems. To facilitate such an experience within a classroom environment is especially possible in subjects like mathematics and the physical...
