Mathematician and educator. I studied math at Johns Hopkins — B.A. followed by a master's — and I've spent the years since helping high-school and college students get genuinely comfortable with rigorous math, from AP Calculus through differential equations. My classes run on intuition first: pictures, worked examples, and live problem-solving, with proofs earning their keep along the way.
