Hello, fellow Schoolhouse.world classmates! My name is Ryan and I am a HS senior. While I live in the USA, I speak Mandarin at home. You probably come here to know what kind of tutor I am, so I'll just say it: I think connection is the base of all peer tutoring, so that's something I aim to emphasize with my learning structures. I'm not a fan of lecture-style tutoring (though I sometimes do it anyways since I have a habit of overexplaning myself) and I'm not a fan of textbook-style learning: you learn the way you feel most with. With the way I talk, and the fact that I'm kind of anti-social and giddy when I talk, you won't get the most straightforward session, but what you will get is one that makes you feel welcome and comfortable (I hope 😊) Now about me: I have played piano for almost 11 years. I enjoy jazz music and play for a bunch of my school choir and band groups. I am an avid gamer alongside that, and I'm often chilling/raging on a ranked game in Mobile Legends or Honor of Kings. I help my parents in work for roughly 20-35 hours a week, and I also participate in Quiz Bowl and Model United Nations, in addition to acting as the Vice President of my choir. I've always liked to explore and challenge myself, as shown by the numbers of AP and college courses I take, but I can also hide in my comfort zone a lot too, which is something I'm attempting to fight, with tutoring (especially big class tutoring) being one of them since I'm socially anxious. But whatever the case may be, we will have a great time! My goal is to get Gold in Schoolhouse, get accepted in-state to become a data science major and eventually get my Masters degree, and be the best I can be.
