RB
Hi! I’m a recent high school graduate with a strong background in math, including Math AP, and I'm gearing up to study Data Science! Math has always been my passion, and I’m currently exploring how to help others understand it better. I’ve found that guiding peers through their math struggles makes me happy, and I’m eager to keep learning how to tutor more effectively. But when I am not doing Math, I am probably enjoying some video editing, nature or just sleeping.
