Tutor in Richmond Hill, Ontario

Hello! My name is Jo and I'm a cancer researcher and recent grad from the University of Calgary (Bachelors of Science in Biological Sciences with distinction) and I would love to extend my tutoring services to a few more students now that my schedule is more flexible! Weekday, weekend, morning, afternoon, and evening availability! I offer in-person and virtual individually tailored lessons for students ranging from: - pre-school - K-12 - post-secondary - mature/upgrading students - ESL students - special needs students* SUBJECTS: - English (including ELA IB) - General science - Biology - Chemistry - Math (pre-school and K-6 only) - Introduction to phonetics, reading, and writing for young children and beginner English speakers (ESL) - UCalgary specific courses (BIOL 241, 243...; CMMB 343, 413...-- inquire for courses not listed) I believe that the way that material is taught greatly affects the success of each student as every learner has a unique learning style that best suits their needs. As such, I specialize in creating personalized learning plans that help each student reach their goals in the most efficient way possible. To ensure that I can teach in a way that supports each learner the best, prior to the first lesson, I will meet with the student (and parents if needed!) for a COMPLIMENTARY 20-MINUTE CONSULT to discuss learner goals, strengths, weaknesses, special accommodations, preferred materials and structure. I have 7 years of experience in working with children and providing peer supported learning, 4 years of experience in healthcare, 2 years of experience in working with special needs children, and mentored 20 students. My promise is to provide a safe, judgement free, and inclusive space to learn and grow. The success of my students is a priority and I will collaborate with the learner to bring out the best of their abilities and extend my utmost patience, kindness, and respect. My rates are as follows: $26 - 45 minutes $30 - 1 hour $50 - 1 hour 45 minutes $57 - 2 hour OFFERS: - 20% off discount for each additional immediate family member - Refer a friend and each get 10% off Prices are negotiable for low income. Virtual platforms: Discord, Zoom, etc. In-person: at Calgary Central Library (downtown) OR at my residence (in the boardroom of condo in downtown). Travel to student's home will be considered within reason. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or inquiries :) *for special needs students, please send me an inquiry detailing what you are looking for (e.g., lessons following provided curriculum, TACPAC, custom activities, etc.). Please note: I have experience working with children who have special needs to varying extents, including assisting a special needs teacher with class activities in a volunteer capacity, BUT please note that I do not have formal certification from a certified program. If your child has significant medical needs, caregiver supervision will be required at learning sessions.
