Certified Tutor

My passion for helping students stems from my own journey in engineering, where mastering physics and mathematics was key to my success. I understand firsthand how challenging these subjects can be, and I find great fulfillment in helping students build confidence and clarity in these areas. I have experience tutoring high school and university-level students in subjects such as algebra, calculus, trigonometry, and physics. My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and a Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering from the University of Ottawa, where I have specialized in structural engineering.

While I tutor a broad range of STEM subjects, I am particularly passionate about tutoring mathematics and physics, as they form the foundation for logical thinking and problem-solving in engineering. I tailor my tutoring approach to each student's learning style, breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps and encouraging active problem-solving to reinforce understanding.

Outside of academics, I enjoy exploring new advancements in structural design, attending engineering seminars, and reading about sustainable infrastructure. I believe that with the right guidance, every student can achieve success in even the most challenging subjects.
