Biography

Hello, my name is Peter. I'm currently a rising junior at the University of Notre Dame, majoring in computer science. I have taken and not scored lower than a B in several rigorous university-level math classes, including probability and statistics, linear algebra and differential equations, calculus 3, discrete mathematics, and more. I have been tutoring fellow students at Notre Dame in math and computer science classes for two semesters. I have a passion for explaining concepts that I understand to others who are struggling with the concepts.
