Expertise
I can answer virtually any kind of question dealing with of Math 536 and below, my forte being in parabolic functions and analytical geometry. I'm currently learning Calculus I, and cannot answer questions that deal with subject matter more advanced than that.

Experience
I am neither a professor nor a teacher of this subject. I am merely a student who is gifted at mathematics and enjoys being of service to his community. I frequently tutor people in math and the results are usually great.

Publications
Reflections, Riverside School Board (2005, 2006)

Education/Credentials
Diploma of Secondary Studies from Chambly Academy High School, and IBO-MYP certificate as well. My lowest mark on a high school math final was 97%, peaking at 99% in 2006 and 2007 (second-highest Math 436 mark in the province). Being a Quebecer, I am fluent in English and French and can respond to questions easily in both languages.
