Hey! I'm a high school senior and I tutor in Math, Chemistry, SAT topics, and sometimes Enrichment. I aspire to pursue a Psychology or Dietetics major in university. In my free time I do alot of cooking, baking, journaling, painting, working out, graphic design, and writing. I joined SchoolHouse for an opportunity to help others master content, as well as become a more efficient tutor and meet new people such as yourself!

If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.
