WHAT MAKES HER AN AWESOME TUTOR
I've always been very passionate about math, always saw it as one big puzzle! my goal as a tutor is to show my students how fun math truly is. I understand that a traditional classroom is not always the right approach, so I'm constantly tailoring my teaching methods to each of my students. you find it hard to focus? we'll adjust the lesson and add little breaks. you find that your school is going too fast? we'll adjust the pace and work on problems together. Whatever the may be, we will always find a solution together, to make sure you succeed in your classes, while simultaneously enjoying them.
FUN FACTS
Life Goal: I'd like to pursue academia, I'm passionate about learning, researching, and teaching. After my undergraduate studies, I'd like to move to the US and complete a PhD in Mathematics, preferably in the field of analysis. I'd like to look back on my life and see that I was able to help other student reach their goals, and know that my career made a difference both in mathematical research as well as in my students' lives.
Words to Live By: Mental health comes first. As basic as these words are, I never fully understood them until my own studies impacted my mental health. Prioritizing your mental health doesn't only allow you to be happy and content, but it will also impact and improve all aspects of your life.
Favourite Mathematical Weapon: I like to go over my answer and explain it to myself as if I was explaining it to someone with no background knowledge of math. Being able to teach something is the biggest proof that you truly understand it. Go over the rules you used in the problems, definitions, etc!

I love doing math for fun! during my time off from school, I like to research new fields of math that I have no background knowledge of. I love reading new theorems and proofs so that I could develop my own proof-writing skills.
