Tutor in Victoria, British Columbia

My teaching centres around fostering understanding, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving skills. This means that you enter each test with confidence in your abilities. I provide my own practice problems and note packages to ensure that the help you get is long-lasting and tangible. Together, we will create a detailed plan of action based on what works best for you. We'll examine when your exams are and the teaching methods that work well for you. Through this, we can focus on your strengths and weaknesses in a comprehensive plan that ensures you feel confident going into each exam. I don't just read answers off of a solution key like so many other tutors. I want you to know how each step works and how you can conceptualize what you're doing so you can recall it during a test. Because of this, teaching critical thinking and problem-solving are core components of our sessions. Here's what some of my previous students have said: "Nathan from Rising Stars Tutoring is an amazing tutor that made Math 109 (Calculus 1) at UVic actually make sense. He is completely professional, . . . was flexible with scheduling, and worth every cent. He went above and beyond supplying me with worksheets that focused specifically on each of the skills taught in my math class and went through them with me to identify specific weaknesses and correct them. He would help me understand it -not just solve it." - Katie Sobie "He's very accommodating and understanding as well as being good at thoroughly explaining concepts. He has a great teaching style; he breaks down problems and gives you the steps to make the problem easier while also letting you work through them on your own. Would definitely recommend, especially for calculus!" - Tobi Adepoju "Great tutor! Super easy to get a hold of with a flexible schedule. Great teacher and very good at explaining things; this guy knows what he’s doing! Great experience and I would recommend!" - Jace Smith
