I'm passionate about unlocking the mysteries of geometry for students. Armed with a degree from Saint Michael's College, I delve deep into shapes, angles, and proofs to make this abstract subject tangible and engaging. With years of experience, I've honed my ability to break down complex concepts into digestible chunks, ensuring every student grasps the beauty and logic of geometry. Let's navigate the world of lines and polygons together, turning confusion into clarity, one theorem at a time.
