Personal Description:

I am a grade 10 student enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at Maple High School. I have always loved maths and problem solving, and have plenty of experience with tutoring maths. I am currently taking grade 11 maths.

Tutoring Experience:

My experience including tutoring grade 10 students in maths, as well as tutoring elementary school students through a 1 week volunteering opportunity at a local elementary school.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe that each individual has a different way of learning, and tailor my teaching style to each individual’s personal learning style and abilities. As an IB student I recognize the importance of thoroughly understanding concepts and not only becoming competent at a subject, but also being able to answer the question "Why am I doing what I am doing?" In other words, I ensure students fully understand the steps to problem solving, instead of just memorizing, as I believe this is the best and most effective way to achieve your academic goals, especially during tests, as if a student understands a concept fully, they will be ale to apply it to different situations, thus being able to answer thinking and application questions, even under a time pressure.
