I'm a second year student enrolled in the Astronomy and Physics Specialist program at UofT. I have a passion for physics and a strong background in math. I work with students in all years of high school (grades 9-12), but am certainly open to any younger students wanting to get a head-start in their STEM career! I understand - physics and math can seem daunting with their many formulae and constants that all seem to get jumbled up. To prevent this from happening, taking inspiration from my wonderful teachers, I focus on developing an intuitive understanding of subject matter rather than trying to force its memorization. My tutees are presented with real-life situations in which they encounter physics and mathematics or their analogues, and from this they develop a foundational grasp of what the numbers are conveying. This leads to a deep comprehension of physical situations and word problems as well as the numbers through which they are communicated, and from there, picking out key information and solving a problem becomes second nature. I pay close attention to my tutees' areas of improvement, whether they be methodological or related to a specific topic, and if need be, will rebuild from the ground up the strategies with which tutees face these weaknesses. I am also a firm believer that, second to developing intuition, practice makes perfect, and thus engage students in a multitude of practice problems that improve not only their understanding of a topic, but their working efficiency and problem-solving abilities. In reality, you cannot entirely avoid the expressions and numbers fundamental to these subjects, but by learning them in an intuitive manner and applying what you have learned in practice questions, physics and mathematics will become as fun as they would have been challenging.
