Mattis L

Hey guys! I’m Mattis, a homeschooled 8th grader currently living in Shenzhen, China! Since I learn mostly through khan academy videos and exercises, I am really thankful to Sal Khan for making this possible.

I love writing fiction novels (two of them, Ebse Nexus and Bombardment B, are nearly done), which are typically a blend of sci-fi and fantasy.

I used to be very active on Khan Academy (before I got muted for some reason) and I decided to come here to help people with R&W on its subworld. I’m a total extrovert and can always be found attending and hosting sessions and answering people’s questions!!

Some things I like to brag about on SHW:

—Having hosted 300 sessions

—Having reached 1000 helpful and super helpful ratings

—Having attended 200 sessions

—Having won the Historia event on schoolhouse.

—Having met Sal Khan.

As for hobbies, I have a ton of them: Writing fiction, chess, speed typing (avg. speed roughly 80-90 wpm, record 117 wpm), drawing my characters, and reading books. I absolutely adore drawing and try to make at least three a day.

Right now I’m learning German, Mandarin Chinese (both on Duolingo), and conlangs, mostly Ebsian, a language I created for my stories.
