Marcus: St. Charles tutor

Certified Tutor

I am deeply passionate about helping students unlock their potential and achieve academic success. My love for teaching stems from the satisfaction of seeing a student grasp a challenging concept and gain confidence in their abilities. With over four years of tutoring experience in subjects like mathematics, physics, and engineering, I've worked with students of various ages and educational backgrounds, tailoring my approach to meet their unique learning styles. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia, where I was recognized on the Dean's List for academic excellence. My tutoring experience spans everything from elementary math to advanced university-level calculus and physics, and I particularly enjoy guiding students through complex mathematical problems to make them more accessible.

My teaching philosophy revolves around patience, adaptability, and fostering a positive learning environment. I believe that every student can succeed when given the right tools and support. My approach is student-centered, with a focus on building understanding and confidence, whether through one-on-one tutoring sessions or small group work. I enjoy creating customized lesson plans that cater to each student's specific needs and strengths. Outside of tutoring, I'm passionate about continuous learning, and I enjoy staying active by hiking, exploring new technologies, and engaging with various forms of creative problem-solving. These interests help me stay inspired and connected with my students' diverse passions and learning styles.
