Hi there! 👋 I’m Yan, a high school senior with a passion for science & engineering, and sharing the joy of learning. To me, education is more than just grades or exams — it’s a journey of discovery, curiosity, and growth. 🌱✨ 🌟 Who I Am: I’m a hiking enthusiast who finds peace in nature, a tech-savvy problem-solver, and an introspective thinker who loves diving deep into ideas and connections. I believe learning mirrors life — full of twists, turns, and those rewarding “aha!” moments that make it all worthwhile. 🚀 📚 My Learning Journey: My school doesn’t offer AP courses, but that didn’t stop me! By exploring online resources and sticking with a growth mindset, I self-studied and scored 5️⃣s on AP Calculus BC, Statistics, Physics C, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science. Every Coursera / MIT OCW Video and every Khan Academy practice problem taught me something new — and I’m here to share that with you! 🤝 My Tutoring Philosophy: I'm not here to "teach" you or even "judge" you. I believe learning isn’t a solo trek; it’s a shared thru-hike! I aim to make sessions collaborative, engaging, and fun. Whether it’s tackling practice problems, or making sense of a particularly hard concept, you take the centerstage while I occasionally provide a few sparks when needed. 🌟 (Introverts please don't worry, because I'm one too...) Ready to embark on this learning journey together? 🎉
