About the Tutor

I am a high school senior. I have a passion for computer science, astrophysics, and history. I am joining Schoolhouse to be able to share some of my knoweldge with others who need it the most, while at the same time trying to get help in areas I need help in as well. Science education in the U.S. is really dumbed down and slow, so I taught myself some advanced topics for an 11th grader thanks to how accessible all this information is nowadays, especially Khan Academy! I speak English, Spanish (somewhat fluent), and French (somewhat fluent).
