Elena - Principal, High School Math Teacher: " I have a great mathematical background:
I graduated from a Math Immersion School in Moscow, Russia and have a Masters degree in Engineering, with a major in applied math.
I adore working with children of all levels of knowledge, and helping them achieve their goals.
I received most of my teaching experience in the Prestige School (North York, Ontario), which had started out as a math tutoring school. There, I had the task of teaching children with different levels of knowledge, grades, and educational backgrounds at the same time. When it subsequently became a private high school, I also worked there as a math teacher for grades 9-12. Afterwards, I started my own business, tutoring mathematics. I have recently expanded it, opening my school: Elena's Tutoring School. We follow the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum, using European teaching methods. "
Julia – Elementary Math, High School English Teacher
Julia is currently a student at the University of Toronto, and is double majoring in English and Medieval Studies. She has many years of experience working with children of all ages. She is a flexible teacher who caters to each student’s specific needs, providing them with detailed explanations and plenty of practice.
Her English lessons are structured around works of literature, which her students learn to critique on several levels through a variety of oral exercises. This is supported by weekly written assignments, usually in the form of essays, through which students learn to independently interpret texts and effectively convey their ideas in written form.
Danny - Physics, General Science Teacher: " I am a University of Toronto Materials Engineering Student from Vancouver, B.C. In my senior years of high school, I was Teaching Assistant for Drafting where I assisted younger students with the Drafting course material. From this experience, I learned that it is important to identify the students' problems, and provide them the tools to help themselves. Therefore, my lessons be geared toward providing these tools. My lessons will revolve around problem solving. By analysing the problem and applying the appropriate concepts, the student will develop an understanding of the course material. These lessons will be supported by additional practice problems for independent study. Personally, I wish I had study habits earlier as I continue my struggle to find the right balance between studies and extracirriculars in my unviersity years. As such, it is my hope that students will take these practice problems seriously as this will develop self-discipline and study habits that will aid them for years to come.
