About

In this series, we will cover topics from Algebra II and Precalculus in preparation for the upcoming school year. Topics will range widely, from polynomials to vectors and matrices. This series will cover the fundamentals for all units of Algebra II and Precalculus, and may be used in preparation for either of these courses.

I'm a rising high school junior from Texas in the United States. I'm here to share my knowledge and experience in math, which is one of my passions. Currently, I'm going into Differential Equations and preparing for various math and computer science competitions like the AMCs and AIME. Aside from those, I do Science Olympiad, Science Fair, Debate, FTC Robotics, and DECA. I also coach middle schoolers in competitive mental math outside of Schoolhouse. I believe that high-quality education should be free and equal for everyone, which is why I'm a tutor on Schoolhouse :) Of course, there is still a lot that I don't know, and I'm here to hopefully learn a bit as well. I want to help everyone feel confident in their subjects, be it math, physics, chemistry, biology, the SAT, and beyond - if you have any questions at all, or need any support in these topics, I am always happy to help you out!
