I ATTAINED A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE FROM UVIC IN 1994 MAJORING IN BIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY.

I STARTED TUTORING IN HIGH SCHOOL AS A PEER TUTOR IN BIOLOGY AND MATH AND ALSO HELPING MY PEERS AS A UNIVERSITY STUDENT AT UVIC

SINCE THE YEAR 2000, I HAVE CONNECTED WITH HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS FROM SIDNEY, SAANICH, VICTORIA, SOOKE, PARKSVILLE, GULF ISLANDS, AND VANCOUVER.

I HAVE ENCOURAGED, INSPIREDAND MOTIVATED PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND LEARNING ABILITIES. I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT TEACHING.

IN MY INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION METHODS WE WILL FOCUS ON SPECIFIC AREAS OF CONCERN.

I'M DEEPLY MOTIVATED BY HELPING STUDENTS DEVELOP CONFIDENCE AND SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY

MY PERSONAL TEACHING STYLE, INTENTIONS AND GOALS AS YOUR TUTOR ARE TO:

1. HELP MANAGE ANY SPECIFIC AREAS OF CONCERN WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL, AND CREATE A RELATIONSHIP OF TRUST.

2. PROVIDE A POSITIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND BUILD CONFIDENCE THROUGH PRAISE AND ENCOURAGEMENT.

3. BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION OF SKILLS AND STUDY HABITS, INCLUDING STUDENT ACCOUNTABILITY.

4. PROMOTE MENTAL FLEXIBILITY AND AGILITY, AND PROVIDE YOU WITH TOOLS TO HELP MANAGE STRESS AND TEST ANXIETY.

IT IS AN HONOR TO WORK WITH THE SAME STUDENTS OVER MANY YEARS, AND FACILITATE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

I OFFER PRIVATE ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS OR SMALL GROUP SESSIONS OFFERED WITH FLEXIBLE RATES DEPENDING ON COURSE MATERIALS AND PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

AVAILABLE FOR TUTORING IN PERSON, OR DISTANCE LEARNING ON-LINE VIA ZOOM, SKYPE, GOOGLE DUO..
