💡About Me:

I am a third-year student at McMaster University pursuing a career in neuroscience. I have an

easygoing tutoring style and try to connect with my students to prepare the best learning

plan for them. My teachers and tutors from my youth encouraged and inspired me to pursue the sciences, and I want to provide the same experience for my students. In my free time, I enjoy painting, exercising, and playing sports with friends. I hope this application finds you well, and I thank you for your consideration.
