About the Tutor

I’m thrilled to be part of the Schoolhouse community. 📚✨ I’m here to share my learning journey and knowledge with others, and I’m equally excited to learn from everyone here! My passions span across literature, writing, and a variety of sciences. Also I love exploring how these subjects connect to the world around us. 🌍 Outside of academics, you’ll often find me on the tennis court 🎾 or planning my next adventure, as traveling and discovering new cultures constantly spark my curiosity. I look forward to connecting with fellow curious minds and diving into the world of learning together! As Serena Williams says, “Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.” So let’s be those champions, keep pushing, and inspire each other every step of the way! 🤌🏻
