I have over 5 years experience working with students from age 4 to 18. Also, I have worked with college students teaching them maths and French. I am great with my students as I am very patient with them. I usually go over the lesson, explain the topic, then go over some examples before letting the student work the problems on his own. I use different teaching styles with my students.
I believe I will be a good fit to work with students because I hold a Bachelor Degree in Civil Engineering and an Accounting Certificate; my achievements in education permit me to properly help, teach, and guide students with their education in order to make them more confident and succeed in School and later on College.
My goal is to help students with their subjects and make sure they enjoy studying those subjects; I believe that to successfully understand the topics and subjects, the student has to enjoy them in order to feel more confident with these subjects.

Introduce myself, and learn about the student in order to know their strengths and weaknesses.
