"Hi! I'm Renna (she/her), educator and founder of Project Carver.

Bio:

I graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Wright State University in 2014. Since graduating, I have traveled extensively throughout southeast Asia working as a STEM educator teaching engineering, science, and math to students of all ages. My favorite subject is mathematics, especially high school and college level math. My students see, on average, a whole letter grade increase after working with me.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program*:

I have over ten years of experience teaching Math SL and HL topics and I have prepared many students for their final DP Math exam. The final Math SL/HL exam covers topics from Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Differential Equations, Vectors, Statistics, Probability, and more. My students see, on average, a 1.5-point increase on their final exam.

*I am not currently teaching HL AI except for those topics covered in HL AA.

Internal Assessment (IA)

I am available to help with the Internal Assessment (IA) for mathematics. I have helped students in all stages, from coming up with an initial idea for their paper to extending their papers to meet page requirements. My students see on average a 2-point increase in their IA scores after working with me.

Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB/BC:

Calculus BC spends considerable time on Infinite and Power Series which IB does not. Other smaller topics covered in the BC curriculum are length of a curve, Polar Curves, and Improper Integrals. AB and BC also emphasize the MVT, IVT, EVT, and Riemann sums. My AP students see an average 1 point increase on their final exam.

My language abilities:

I have been studying Mandarin for over 7 years. My fluency is HSK 5-6.

My computer languages:

I've worked as a software developer for over 3 years now working in React, Javascript, HTML, CSS, C, and many more..." less...
