Bio
I love to learn more about Physics and Mathematics, therefore I want to be a lifelong 'student'. I also like working with people.
I try to put myself in the other person's shoes to try to think about how they understand the topic at hand. The experience I have with tutoring at a university level and full-time teaching also enable me to think about the concepts at hand from different viewpoints.
