Learn With Adrien

Currently enrolled at the University of Victoria pursuing my Bachelor of Education degree. The program I am in takes 16 months of consecutive study to complete because I already have a Bachelor of Arts degree. I hope to teach at the high school and middle school levels both in Canada and abroad.

Obtained a diploma (2 year) in accounting from Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Completed my Bachelor of Arts in History degree at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Started my Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Saskatchewan in 2005, immediately after high school. Moved to Ontario/Quebec in 2007 and completed my Bachelor of Arts degree (in History) at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario in 2011.

I started private tutoring during the pandemic. My wife and I had been operating a commercial cleaning business and with the pandemic-related lockdowns and shutdowns, many of our clients no longer required our services. We had been working almost seven days a week since I left my job at the John Howard Society of Victoria and so I was ready for a break! I also have two young children and so private tutoring works well with my home life. I tutor primarily high school students in English, social studies, science, and math.

One of the best jobs I've ever had. This was the job where I realized that teaching and being able to help others unlock their potential were things that I was naturally good at and loved doing. I had a fantastic supervisor and mentor. This job involved me working with adolescents and adults who needed help finding work. I became an expert at resumes and cover letters and the job search process. I did a lot of networking. I never failed a client (every client I worked with, I worked with them until they were successful in their job search.)
