K-12 Math and Science Tutor
Description
I am offering in-person tutoring for all sciences and math for grade K-12 students this year. I am available week nights from 4pm- 7pm and Saturdays from 8am- 2pm.
About me:
I would describe myself a dedicated, passionate, and optimistic life-long learner. I have always enjoyed school. Growing up, it was difficult for my parents to keep me home when I was ill because i did not want to miss a day at school. I knew teaching was going to be in my future because I simply loved being in a learning environment. Today, I truly find joy in helping students come to an understanding of the material they are learning. I am determined to help students see that there is more than one way to learn something and that it doesn't always have to be stressful or non-enjoyable.
I have my Bachelor of Education degree with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. I am currently a substitute teacher with 3 years of teaching experience. Last summer I made the decision to pursue my passion of studying Neuroscience at the University of Saskatchewan. My hope is to conduct research on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimers Disease.
I believe every student has their own way of working through a problem and there is never "one way" to solve it. My teaching methodologies have and will continue to be tailored to how the student learns best. This could include visuals, real-world examples, or guiding with questions to help the student look at problems from different perspectives.
My lessons begin with guided prompts and questions. I will not give the student the answer, rather I prefer to be their personal guide to get them there. I feel this not only develops self-esteem, but allows the student to create ownership of their learning rather than me taking all of the credit.
