About Me

Helping others understand challenging concepts has been something that I have always enjoyed. I'm currently in my third year of University studying Materials Engineering with a minor in Aerospace Engineering at McGill University. I specialize in tutoring Calculus 1 and 2 (Any sort of functions classes as well) and AP Physics. I genuinely enjoy helping students dive into these subjects and helping them understand them. My solid understanding comes not just from my degree, but also from the experience of tutoring them in the past. What excites me the most is showing others how fascinating these topics can be when you truly understand them. Throughout my high school career, I was the go-to person for friends and classmates who needed help with math, physics, or chemistry, and I loved bringing sense to tough ideas using my teaching techniques. Since joining Varsity Tutors, I have successfully guided one student through a Calculus 1 course and another through a Chemistry 1 course, both of whom achieved exceptional grades. In grades 11 and 12, I also took on a formal/volunteering role as a peer mentor, working with younger students in grades 8 and 9. It was rewarding to not only help students with their academic work but also to guide them through general challenges and give them the confidence to succeed. Whether it was assisting friends with math and physics problems in high school or mentoring younger students in general studies, I've always felt a strong desire to make learning more accessible and enjoyable. The way I learn new subjects and concepts is through a specific manner; which I integrate into my teaching technique. My tutoring style is all about collaboration. Learning is most effective when it's a shared process, so I ask lots of guiding questions and offer hints to lead students toward the solution. I want my students to feel the satisfaction of figuring things out themselves, even if it means making a few mistakes along the way since that's how real understanding happens. Instead of just providing answers, or even just explaining the solution right away, I help them understand the "why" behind the solution, which builds their confidence and encourages deeper understanding. I also tend to make students re-explain topics and answers to me, to make sure they do actually understand the concept.
