Professional:

 

I am a tutor, teacher, and PhD student working privately in Montreal. My approach is highly individualized and goal-oriented. I meet each student where they are in terms of skills and background knowledge, find out where they want to go, then create and follow a plan to get them there.

​

 

Personal:

 

I grew up near in Vancouver but have called Montreal home for many years. I'm a good writer, a bad drawer, and a very safe cyclist. My secret talent is test-taking: I scored in the 99th percentile on my SATs.
