Tutor Information

About

Hi there, I'm a tutor from Toronto ON with over 7 years of experience working with students. Whether you need a tutor for a couple of months to help you prepare for exams, or you want someone to work with you through a summer course or over the next year, I can help! I've tutored students from grades two to eleven, and together we've worked on their studies and overcome all sorts of difficulties. I have worked with students who have learning disabilities and IEPs, and I understand that these labels do not make you any less capable of learning. I also have experience teaching English as a second language. I am a student studying Plant Science and English at the University of Guelph, and I am always happy to talk botany or favourite books! My studies make me experienced in a variety of subjects, and it also gives me insight into the difficulties students face when they're trying to tackle a subject that's not really their area of interest. I hope we can work together to reach your goal in your studies, whatever it may be.
