Education
HBA Philosophy, University of Toronto TESOL PGC, University of Toronto I majored in Philosophy at the top school in Canada, with double minors in Writing & Rhetoric as well as Cinema studies. This diversity of subjects left me with a wide breadth of knowledge. As such, I am easily able to adapt to many different subjects, especially those under the Humanities umbrella. I also hold a Post-graduate Certificate from the University of Toronto in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). This is where I learned to tailor educational experiences to individuals, not checklists. I continue to use the skills gained during this program to facilitate achievement in each of my students.
Experience
I am a professional English teacher and personal tutor with years of experience working with students of various competencies. I specialize in raising class scores by tailoring my teaching style to the personal needs of each student. To me, learning is a collaborative process that requires a friendly, clear-eyed approach. The most recent student I worked with saw her US History grades jump 12 points over the previous year, cementing her as a straight-A student.
