Hobbies
HOBBIES: * Reading * Running * Rock climbing * Hiking * Meditating * Model UN * ML/AI * Deep learning * Mentoring students PHILOSOPHY: I strive to improve myself every day and inspire others to do the same. I'm a big fan of TED talks, MOOCs, and self-learning. I believe that anyone can learn anything with insight and practice and will do my best to help make that happen. PERSONAL STORY: I didn't start programming until the summer after HS graduation, and then I fell in love, practiced hard, and reached the ICPC Regionals and CodeCon finals after less than two years of programming. I know what's like to be intimidated by challenging problems, in programming and in life, and can help you find the strategies and mindset to get past them. I can teach you how to learn quickly and well, while maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I want to help you succeed, not just in the subject I'm tutoring, but in your long-term studies, career ambitions, and life goals.
