Personal Description:

Hi! I'm a fourth-year university student at McMaster University majoring in engineering physics. Believe it or not, I've always had trouble in elementary and high school because of my ADHD, but through a lot of trial and error I've figured out how to make my brain focus and actually want to learn the boring stuff. I want to share my skills with any kids out there who might be having difficulties in school as well, and maybe inspire them to actually be passionate about learning!

Tutoring Experience:

I worked in a peer mentoring program in high school, helping students in all different grade levels in a variety of topics, from math and science to geography and politics. In university I have worked as a course development assistant, helping make online lectures more engaging and effective.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe I can help make learning actually interesting, even the most arduous topics. By thinking of your course material as an interconnected puzzle of knowledge and finding relatable applications to that material, you can create an engaging and practical education experience. The problem with our school system is that it focuses only on repetition and regurgitation. I think that when you look at the bigger picture of the stuff you're learning, it actually makes more sense. Using a big picture focus and connecting different ideas and concepts together, along with positive reinforcement, I believe I can really help with the pain of online school.
