Personal Description:

Tutoring Approach:

I believe that everyone can do math and that the teacher makes a difference. In elementary school, I never cared too much for it and wasn't very comfortable with the concepts. But once I hit grade 6, I learned how to really understand the concepts and use logic to solve the problems - not memorization.

I want to help your child/student learn how to problem solve and find solutions to questions they haven't seen before. I promise, it's possible.

As a previous tutor, camp counsellor, and dance teacher, I'm patient and kind but am willing to push your child to realize their own potential.
