Hi there! You’ve reached the profile of a slightly insane person. If you’d like to stay unchanged, please leave. If you’d like to be pulled into a never-ending cycle of being very mildly maniacal, please continue. I’m Vismai, a middle schooler from Arizona. I'm happy to help and ask for help. I'm a Senior Tutor in R&W, and also tutor Computer Science, Statistics, Biology, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra 1. I'm also an intermediate peer reviewer. By the way, my name is pronounced "is my" with a "v" at the start - not that it's hard. I asked for some ideas on what to write, and one question was "What do you do in your free time?" Um, what's free time again? Just kidding (kind of). Jokes aside, I like: - linguistics - coding in Golang, Dart, TypeScript, and Python - debate and MUN - swimming - singing & the performing arts On weekends, you can usually find me buried in some weird sci-fi book.
