Founding Peer Tutor, Undergraduate Tutor (January 2022-)

Smart City Learning Cafe

Began volunteering to help other students with math and science difficulties which were becoming significant during the pandemic while in high school working with a former physics teacher, Joe Minato, who opens the local cafe for late night tutoring session on Wednesday. After graduating high school, have continued attending as often as possible, focusing on working with students who are better served by a tutor who can devote more time and has more experience than possible in peer tutoring.
