According to a report in the LA Times, Clovis's journey began when he experienced a sense of ennui during his second-grade education at the mere age of 7.

Seeking intellectual stimulation beyond the confines of his curriculum, he yearned for more challenging academic pursuits to satiate his insatiable curiosity.

Despite initial reservations from his family, Clovis's mother made a bold decision in 2019 to withdraw him from traditional schooling and undertake the role of his homeschooling instructor.

“My husband and two daughters said I was crazy,” said his mother Song Choi, who’s worked as a tutor for more than 20 years.

Choi firmly believed in his unique blend of inquisitiveness and intellect, distinguishing him from his peers and fueling his potential for greatness.
