My distinctive edge in education
Criminal Record Check Cleared
Unlocking potential with peace of mind! As a dedicated educator, I offer more than just academic support. With a cleared criminal record check, you can trust in a safe and secure learning environment both online and in person.
Additionally, I have volunteered as a Career Peer Advisor at SFU and also for the Crisis Line through Kids Help Phone, showing my committment to supporting and guiding others through both emotional and academic challenges.
Research based teaching by an MSc
I hold an MSc in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry and am well versed in several fields of science ensuring a high-quality education and real world insights that can directly enhance your education, particularly if you are considering a career in life sciences, medicine, healthcare etc.
Moreover, I have completed pedagogical research on effective scientific teaching and learning at SFU within the Faculty of Science. These insights from my research are utilized in our tutoring sessions to accelerate your learning and patch areas of misunderstanding/weaknesses.
A Customized Approach To Your Learning Style
So often in large classes, teachers are unable to cater to the unique needs of every single student. Teachers go through notes too fast, or they use slides which makes learning for the student very passive and can be overwhelming when so much information is presented simultaneously.
I utilize an approach called guided active note taking, and take you through step by step each concept. I repeatedly see students come to me with hand-out style notes that are just photocopies the teachers have given them. This reduces the amount of information students can absorb. In contrast, my style in teaching is very active. We go through notes actively, and at a pace comfortable to you. I'll configure mock exams/tests specific to your strengths and weaknesses. I will never utilize a test bank or cookie cutter pre-prepared lesson plans that larger academicies and tutoring agencies use.
24 / 7 Accessible Notes & Lesson Plan
From Day 1, you'll get access to my tutoring custom lesson plan and notes so you can read ahead, go back and review and use it to jog your memory. Even if you stop working with me, you'll still retain access to every single lesson plan and problem set I've prepared for you.
