I'm currently an undergraduate studying Mathematics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. I've volunteered teaching french lessons in an elementary school and I've been a volunteer math tutor for high schoolers. I've also tutored community college students professionally in college algebra and calculus. I believe that the best way to learn is collaboratively and interactively. I teach by working together with my students to tackle problems and develop a firm grasp on the bigger picture. I'm passionate about math and science and improving education as a whole. My hobbies include hiking, playing soccer, and painting.
