I hold a degree in Geometry from St. Bonaventure University, where I honed my passion for the intricate world of shapes and spatial relationships. With years of experience in tutoring, I thrive on simplifying complex geometric concepts for students. My goal is to empower learners with a deeper understanding of geometry's practical applications and its beauty in the world around us. Let's explore angles, lines, and polygons together, unlocking the wonders of this fascinating subject.
