About Me

I am a senior at Smith College, where I study mathematics. My past mathematical research has included work with Markov chains, random walks, and combinatorial optimization. I tutored briefly in my freshman year of college, in addition to being a homework grader for calculus classes. For the past two summers, I have worked at Epsilon Camp, which is a summer camp for students who are profoundly gifted in mathematics. My experience there inspired me to start tutoring again. I believe that all students learn a little differently, and though schools try their best they can't account for every learning style. My goal is to adapt my instruction to each student's preferences in order to help them as much as I can. In my free time, I like to play ice hockey (or just skate), knit, do yoga, and read, especially epic fantasy (I may or may not have all the Lord of the Rings books memorized). I also enjoy experimenting and developing gluten free cookie recipes.
