Personal Description:

Hi, I’m I-Hsuen, a certified and passionate math tutor specializing in Grades 9 to 12.

I hold a B.Sc. in Mathematics (Specialization) from McMaster University and earned my B.Ed. and OCT certification from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE, University of Toronto). I’m also CSTC-certified, and fluent in both English and Mandarin.

Tutoring Experience:

For math, I have 15+ years (and counting) of in-class teaching experience and 20+ years of tutoring experience. Over the years, I have worked with students both in classrooms and one-on-one. I specialize in making challenging topics like algebra, functions, and trigonometry clear and approachable. Because I'm a certified teacher, I am very familiar with the Ontario curriculum.

For Mandarin, I'm a native Mandarin speaker. So I can help with any conversational or even translation.

Tutoring Approach:

I adapt my teaching to each student’s learning style to build both understanding and confidence. My approach is to simplify complex concepts to help students make connections. Students often tell me they can understand me easily and feel more confident after just a few sessions.
