In terms of tutoring, I teach math (up to and including calculus and vectors), all sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology), and English. I prepare students for AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Psychology exams.

Hobbies
In my spare time, I go on many long walks and cycle year-round in Toronto. I also enjoy traveling, hiking, and backcountry trips. I also love visual arts—from romanticism to surrealism, but with a particular soft spot for German and Austrian expressionism. Before switching to the sciences, I was in an art and design program in high school.
