Most people hate math because it's taught by memorization. "Remember this formula and then plug some numbers in". This not only makes the subjects annoying and boring, but it also removes a lot of the beauty and interesting reasoning behind why math is the way it is. Whether you're a highschool student struggling with trig functions and the quadratic equation, or you're a university student plagued with isomorphism theorems and epsilon-delta proofs, come with me and I'll help you not just answer homework questions, but really get an intuition for why things are the way they are, and hopefully you can see some of the beauty I see along the way.

I loved math in highschool, have a 4-year bachelor's in pure math, and am currently doing a master's in bioinformatics. I'm happy to help you with just about any topic!
