About

I'm a senior from North Carolina. I'm a competitive swimmer, professional musician, national robotics engineer.

I took AP calc in 8th grade, and have taken community college courses since then. I'm off to university next year.

I hope to continue learning as much as I can and share my knowledge with others.

Upcoming Sessions

Desmos HACKS 700+

    12th session

Each session I plan to cover advanced SAT math problems that can be efficiently solved using Desmos. We will focus on using Desmos's features to simplify complex problems that would normally take a long time. Learners are encouraged to post their challenging math problems ahead of each session, which we will go over during the live meetings. The sessions will be interactive, with opportunities for students to share their Desmos techniques and collaborate on solving problems.

I liked that River offered more than one way on how to use Desmos for the same type of problem. I'm a complete Desmos noob but I learned how to use some features today!

Thank you so much! I can't express how grateful I am for your session and how impressive it was. Your approach was just as special and unique as your session description—no exaggeration! It was definitely more effective than most of the YouTube videos out there. Many tutors in Schoolhouse often brag about their sessions, claiming they are the best and most useful, but it’s rare to find a tutor like you who truly knows how to explain concepts patiently and efficiently, especially when it comes to the math portion of the SAT. I’m really glad to have found you among the few exceptional tutors. Unlike many others who seem focused only on logging volunteer hours, you genuinely enjoy this activity and are responsible in your approach. I’ve often encountered tutors who are unprepared, give perfunctory explanations, and can be annoyed if you arrive late or ask questions, making it feel like you're wasting their time. In contrast, your session was a breath of fresh air. You clearly managed the topic, engaged with us, and were genuinely willing to help, which made me incredibly happy. Your time spent in this session and your contributions to Schoolhouse are truly invaluable.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your time and dedication. In your sessions, I don’t merely learn how to solve SAT math problems. Instead, I gain a deeper understanding of fundamental principles—both in Desmos and math as a whole—as well as the "logic" and "reasoning" that underpin them. Attending your sessions feels like more than just learning math; it's an opportunity to philosophize and critically engage with the rules and principles set by mathematicians. I truly believe that your presence as a tutor is exceptional for SCHOOLHOUSE. You don't just teach; you share your knowledge, encouraging us to grasp the reasoning behind this intricate framework. It's a rare and brilliant approach to tutoring that I deeply appreciate.

Would love to see more of these, I have a 790 in maths but I had no idea desmos had so much untapped potential even though I use it extensively.
