View Profile

I'm a high schooler originally from California who's here to help others succeed on standardized tests like the SAT in addition to everyday school subjects. I'm able to help on the SAT and up to all four AP Physics courses, AP Calculus BC, and AP Chemistry. I've gone through and understand what it feels to have difficulties in learning and the helplessness it could bring, which I hope my positive attitude could curb. In my own time, I enjoy playing and coaching soccer, playing video games, and delegating/chairing MUN conferences.
