About Me

My passion for helping students stems from a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education. Having worked extensively with students in various capacities over 6-years, from a Volunteer Tutor at United for Literacy for disadvantaged youth, an Academic Coach at Woodsworth College for incoming and first year students, to a Private Tutor with Varsity Tutors for over two years, as well as the owner of a consulting start-up for academic and career coaching. I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that guidance and support can have on a student's academic journey and personal growth. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts with High Distinction from the University of Toronto, specializing in Philosophy with a minor in Classical History with elective saturations in English and Religion. My academic achievements have been recognized through various merit-based awards and leadership honours. I have also earned a Certificate in French Oral Communication from Vanier College in Montreal, and a Certificate in U.S. Political Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Courts, and Bureaucracy from Harvard University. Professionally, I have been trained by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in interview techniques and public speaking skills, headed various public relations initiatives and taught students in the prestigious Page Program. Additionally, I have received training in ADHD coping strategies and effective study habits through Accessibility Services at the University of Toronto and The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). As well as currently being employed as a Legal Clerk, in a mid-sized commercial litigation firm, where I specialize in legal writing and drafting, the rules of civil procedure and legal reasoning and logic. Throughout my tutoring experience, I have had the privilege of assisting over 50 students from elementary level to adult learners in a range of subjects, such as English, Elementary School Reading and Writing, College & University Admissions, Reading Comprehension, Essay Writing, Public Speaking, Interview Skills, Criminology, Philosophy, U.S. Government, Creative Writing, World History, University Time Management & Effective Study Habits and Phonetics. With a particular fondness for philosophy, classical history and English I am considered an expert in essay writing, academic coaching, professional correspondence and English. However, philosophy is my favourite subject to tutor because it encourages critical thinking and the exploration of profound questions about existence, morality, and knowledge. My teaching revolves around fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with the material, improving students confidence with only one session, while specifically tailoring sessions to many students with ADHD. I strive to tailor my tutoring style to each student's unique needs, focusing on building their confidence and autonomy as learners. While maintaining consistent communication with parents and providing comprehensive summaries of each session made available to students and parents alike. Outside of academia, I am actively involved in various community service roles and enjoy participating in leadership activities. I am also currently preparing for a career in law, working towards specializing in Civil Litigation. These experiences enrich my perspective and enhance my ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life. My goal is to inspire and equip students to reach their full potential, both academically and personally.
