Personal Description:

I am a Grade A math tutor. If you're looking for someone dynamic yet patient for you or your children, then you just hit a jackpot! I will explain the topic clearly, in either a playful or a professional form, tailored to your needs. I will go one step at a time, introducing a skill over one lesson, and taking as long as you need strengthening it. I will make math look easy and non-stressful, stereotypes and first impressions aside!

Tutoring Experience:

I have had students from Grade 4 to Grade 9 over the years. I've done free and paid tutoring alike. I regularly help my friends and classmates if they don't understand the topic. I've tutored at my students' places and in other locations, such as libraries, school classrooms and my home. Unfortunately, now I can't accept students at my place, but I'll happily travel to your place or help you out online.

Tutoring Approach:

After a little warm-up with the problems we worked on last time, I explain a new method/topic, then the student works on some problems, practising the new skill. Homework includes 10-15 minute problems with the new skill each weekday until the next lesson. I also help with any homework issues the student might have. If there is a topic the student went over in school, but still doesn't quite get it, I explain the topic and practise this skill with them.
I set up a study atmosphere with soft lo-fi study music. I can book a study room in Coquitlam Library for up to two hours if you don't want to have lessons in your house or online. I use the Pomodoro system (30 min work, 5 min break) for efficient, non-stressful learning.
I teach all ages up until Grade 11 (G11 Pre-Calculus included)
