ABOUT ME
Helping you succeed in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
I believe that anyone can reach success in their classes with the right support. Every individual has different learning needs, and when your classroom setting just doesn't cover it, I'm here to help! Although I specialize in math, physics, and chemistry, I am comfortable with many subjects, so please don't hesitate to ask! I also can help with French Immersion courses.
​
My tutoring experience started with humble beginnings. I had some friends in Pre-Calculus 12 who always came to me when they needed help understanding a concept. Often times, they just needed a different explanation than the teacher had provided. I got my first real tutoring job right at the end of high school, when a university student reached out to my chemistry teacher looking for help to get through first year chemistry. My teacher asked if I would be up to the task, and I accepted (at a discounted rate, because I had to learn the university-level material alongside my student!)
​
I went on to get my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Victoria, but when the Covid-19 Pandemic hit in early 2020, I discovered a need for contactless online tutoring, as schools shifted to online learning and hyper-condensed terms. I have been tutoring online since then, and will continue to do so as long as someone out there needs it!
