Tutor Information
About
I'm an actor and engineering graduate living in Toronto. Learning doesn't have to be boring! I employ a laid back, communicative approach to knowledge transference!
I've taught in both classroom settings and one-on-one. I was a peer tutor throughout high school and worked as a teacher delivering STEM topics to elementary and high school students as far North as the Arctic Circle. Most recently I've tutored on a one-on-one basis for high school students in the GTA. Let me know if you need any help in the STEM field!
