Hello! I am Audrey Luu. As a speech and debate student since 7th grade and coach since 9th grade, I am passionate about teaching and recognize the academic and social development the program offers.
Together, my mom and I coached my sister and her group of friends from 4th grade through 8th grade. As a result of our guidance and dedication, all of them qualified for state and several qualified for national competitions in multiple events. This kind of success is unprecedented for students in their freshman year of high school. I've always been social and enjoyed my time in speech and debate. The same wasn’t true for my math classes—my mom enrolled me in competitive courses because she believed I had a high aptitude for mathematics. Although they were challenging, I always gave my best effort and have seen the results. I’m grateful she pushed me to reach my potential. Now, as a Mathematical Economic Analysis major at Rice University, I recognize how those early lessons built a strong foundation that enables me to excel with concepts my peers often find challenging.
