I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin. Ever since I was young, I have always been interested in the lives of children--always believing that there was a spark in each and every child, no matter their circumstances or struggles. I've tutored many of my peers in many subjects over the years, but my favorites have always been mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. My philosophy towards teaching is that the student should be learning, not be being taught. A teacher is a guide, and does not teach what to think, but how to think. I always aim to make sure my students completely understand the subjects we are discussing, rather than merely understanding how to apply formulae and equations. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, running, and the odd hike through the woods.
