Subjects taught
  • Statistics

    I am currently in my second year of university with statistics being my core subject. In both high school and university I have achieved great marks for the subject and am fully capable of explaining concepts, breaking down formulas and explaining ways to go about breaking down problems in order to implement a formula. At first statistics was an uphill battle for me but now it is one of my favorite subjects as a result it is a responsibility for me to help students achieve excellent marks and make statistics one of their favorite subjects.

  • Math

    Mathematics has always been one of my strengths and passions. I excelled at a high school level achieving over 80% for my final mark. I am currently in my second year and taking MAM2000w [Second year calculus]. I feel that I am the best tutor for this subject as I have learnt numerous ways to go about completing mathematical equations which will help adapting to the students methodology and aid in their way of thinking. Furthermore, I want to help the student excel and build a fondness towards mathematics. Based on my experience I would be capable of doing so.

  • Geography

    Geography to many is viewed as a conceptually challenging subject. I feel that I feel that I would be best suited to tutor this subject as at high school level I achieved an outstanding final and ORT mark. I have a great understanding of map work and geographical theory and want to assist student in achieving an excellent mark that they can be proud of.

  • Computer Programming

    Each day the world becomes more and more technologically advanced and if we don’t adapt to the changing environment we will be left behind. It’s a clique but it is true. I have taken computer science from grade 10 through to first year university level and I plan on continuing. I code in they latest versions of both python and java. I have achieved great marks for the subject in both high school and university.

  • Economics

    Economics is a newly found passion of mine. It opened up a new and important part of the world for me that I never could fully grasp. I have completed first year macro and micro economics, achieving excellent marks for both and will be taking the subject further. Through the experience that I posses I am capable to aid any students and help them achieve more within the subject.

  • English

    I view English as a world that have to dive into in order to truly appreciate it. I loved English when I was at school and my marks are a result of that. My strong points are essay and poetry writing. Completing many well written essays in my life I feel that I would excel in helping the student create excellent essays and improve their understanding of English as a whole.
