I have an avid passion for all STEM fields, with a special focus on mathematics.

My other strengths include physics, engineering concepts, and computer programming.

...and consistent math is supposed to be. There's (almost) always only one right answer, but there are usually multiple ways to get there, so giving options and finding the method that works best for someone is also great. For fun I like going to movies as well as both computer and board (strategy) games. (I'm actually in the process of designing my own board game.) To show my worldliness, I should also mention that my father...

At Colorado College we took courses on the "Block Plan," during which students took one course at a time, for one month only. This meant that the same group of about 15 students went to the same class everyday, making it very easy to form small study groups after class. Essentially, I spent four years tutoring (and receiving tutoring!)...
