I'm a Newbery-Honor winning author and New York Times writer, whose books have received multiple literary stars and have been included in multiple best books lists.

I would love to help students find the same joys in this art as I have.

I was a sophomore in high school when I tested out of my math curriculum and took classes at Harvard. Since then, I

I love seeing people of all ages reach new levels of confidence by achieving their goals. My primary objective is to impart practical as well as technical knowledge to propel you to the next level. I believe anyone of any age can learn anything if properly taught. I've taught basic physiology to elementary students and successful public speaking strategies to older adults.
