Getting ready for the test, not just the homework
When helping students prepare for exams, I tend to begin with general review and practice quizzes. They show where mistakes are commonly made, so we know where to focus.
Subjects and course ranges
Each subject I teach, from the lowest to the highest level. Please send your exact topics or worksheets at least 24 hours before each session so I can prepare.
Background and why I tutor
Where I'm coming from
I have a Bachelor of Arts from Thompson Rivers University, with a major in English and a minor in philosophy.
I worked for six months at Sylvan Learning in Langford as one of their top reading and writing tutors, and also as a math tutor. I also worked for three months in Kamloops, BC, for the ASSAI after-school program as a person of rapport.
What keeps me teaching
I tutor partly because I am going into a teaching career, and partly because I truly enjoy helping students reach their learning goals and do well in whatever subjects they struggle with. Tutoring is a truly fulfilling experience, knowing I am helping students grow and build new skills.
I love to teach math, especially pre-calculus, the most. I genuinely find it enjoyable, and I see it as an opportunity to solve puzzles and learn cool patterns with numbers.
I always want students to leave our sessions with skills they can use in other courses and areas of life. Strengthening a student's ability to problem solve in unique and effective ways is one of the most important things I want them to practise and feel confident doing.
When I'm not teaching
I gravitate toward many hobbies that involve art, and I find the most joy in finding endless opportunities to create something new and beautiful.
From crocheting to cooking, I love making things with my hands.
My favourite hobby, and one I enjoy every day, is painting. It gives me endless ways of expressing myself and making something truly unique.
