Hello! I'm a college sophomore and I love most things science. I'm here to have fun and help out!✌️ I love listening and playing music, drawing, watching movies and anime, doing chemistry, and reading sci-fi books. I have probably heard way too many genres of music and am definitely a massive nerd. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about anything: ranting, art advice, need someone to talk to, just finished a show and need to vent. I'm happy to be of service :)

Hey! I mainly tutor for the SAT and college prep at SHW, as well as a couple of study skills, CS, and English sessions occasionally. I love exploring the worlds of education, psychology, environment, and business, and I am looking forward to pursuing something in the combination of these disciplines. Looking forward to seeing you in one of my sessions :))
