Bio

I'm a future Columbia Lion who's passionate about expanding minds for the future of the world. I like to make everything I do as disproportionately fun as possible, yeah that includes Calculus too.

I like to make the students incrementally develop towards answers by themselves rather than spoon feeding solutions to them, which is extremely unproductive. Also my presentation training from AFS Intercultural has taught me how to evoke visualization in an audience, which cements concepts in the minds more effectively.
