Hi! I'm Hannah, currently a high school student in North Carolina, and I am so excited to be helping out here! I've joined Schoolhouse to tutor for the SAT, physics, math, and help students improve their test-taking strategies! Outside of tutoring, I love to compete in math and science competitions, play piano, and volunteer. I would love to meet you all, so feel free to reach out!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attendance

• To make the most out of our sessions, please try not to miss more than two, as each session builds on the last (and message me if you will be absent or late). However, if you are only interested in certain topics in Quantum Physics, you can pick and choose which sessions you want to join!

Participation

• I understand that not everyone feels comfortable speaking up, and that’s completely okay! Just know that I always encourage participation!

• If you have a question, always ask! As a student myself, I truly believe there’s no such thing as a silly question - especially in quantum physics.

• Use respectful language when communicating with me or your peers or you will be removed from the series.
