Personal Description:

As a dedicated and passionate tutor with a rich background in education and counseling, I bring a unique blend of skills and experience to support students in their academic journey. With five years as an Educational Assistant, I have worked closely with students of all needs, helping them unlock their potential and gain confidence in their abilities. My certification as a TESOL instructor and my experience as a Registered Professional Counsellor allow me to approach teaching with a holistic and person-centered mindset. I specialize in elementary Language Arts, focusing on fostering a love for reading and writing while helping students develop strong communication skills. I am committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment that inspires curiosity and growth, tailored to each student's individual needs.

Tutoring Experience:

With extensive experience as a tutor and Educational Assistant, I have had the privilege of working one-on-one with students in grades 3 to 6, providing personalized support that caters to their individual learning needs. My role as an Educational Assistant from kindergarten to grade 9 has given me a broad understanding of diverse educational backgrounds and learning challenges. I have worked with students with various learning needs, including those with special education requirements, autism, ADHD, and other learning differences. This experience has honed my ability to adapt teaching methods to suit each student's unique learning style, ensuring they receive the guidance and encouragement needed to succeed. My approach is patient, empathetic, and focused on building both academic skills and self-confidence.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is centered around making learning an enjoyable and interactive experience, where students feel empowered to take the lead in their education. I believe that incorporating play and games into lessons helps students grasp concepts more effectively while keeping them engaged and motivated. By integrating educational games and activities, I create a fun learning environment that encourages curiosity and exploration.

At the same time, I ensure that each session has a clear structure, with defined goals and objectives tailored to the student's needs. This balance between playfulness and structure helps students stay on track while enjoying the learning process. I also emphasize the importance of responsibility and follow-through by assigning relevant homework that reinforces the concepts covered in our sessions. My goal is to foster a sense of ownership in the students, encouraging them to take charge of their learning while providing them with the support and tools they need to succeed.
