STEM Teacher
Noah Faas
I am a current senior at St. Olaf College, where I am triple majoring in Math, Computer Science, and Quantitative Economics. I never intended on doing three majors, but my love for all of these disciplines led me to striving for mastery in each one. My 15+ years of experience as a gymnast gave me a deep understanding of the learning process, which I was able to harness in my own academics and later share with others as a gymnastics coach. I’m excited to teach my favorite subjects and instill the skill of learning in all my students here at Sonagi Learning!
