Personal Description:

PREVENT SUMMER SETBACKS WITH CUSTOMIZED ONLINE TUTORING!
I'm a bilingual, self-employed professional with a passion for teaching and helping those in need. I attended Toronto French School, skipped 8th grade, was in the enhanced and extended French programs at Lorne Park Secondary, and went to Neuchâtel Junior College for extended grade 12 and to further enhance my French skills. Additionally, I volunteered in Peel classrooms from 2001-2016 to gain first-hand knowledge pertinent to teaching approaches. Since 2016, I have been tutoring full-time with students aged 3.5-24 years; with 14 current students, I am very familiar with the curriculum standards. I have room for a few more summer clients and would love to help you or your child succeed! I have plenty of experience with learning disabilities and special needs - from ADHD to anxiety to autism - thanks to my psychology degree and work experience with current clients.
I am a University of Toronto graduate with an Honours Bachelor of Science, double majoring in French and Psychology. Working with youth and helping others one-on-one has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and I have been volunteering in teaching environments since age 10. I'm very flexible, compassionate, detail-oriented, enthusiastic, organized, patient - and am able to explain subject material in a variety of ways to ensure students fully understand what they're learning. Watching students reach those light-bulb moments is such a rewarding experience for me! Several references available.
