Hi! I’m a junior from Warsaw, Poland, with a love for mathematics. I’m pursuing the full IB Diploma, (Math AA, Physics, Visual Arts and English HL). I’m here to help you with math and SAT preparation—I scored a 1540 this past August. Outside of academics, my biggest interest is art, whether it’s painting, visiting museums or internet deep dives. I am all about science communication, which is why I’m excited to support your learning journey!
