About
Hello! I'm John, a Civil Engineering graduate with a minor in Mathematics, and I graduated with high honors. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine; I've worked with students ranging from middle school to professionals, covering subjects from basic math to advanced spreadsheet tools.
When tutoring, my approach is personalized. I first assess your existing knowledge to tailor my teaching style and lesson pacing. Lessons start with foundational concepts, complemented by easy-to-solve problems to build your confidence following the "I solve, We Solve, You Solve" style. As you progress, I introduce more complex problems to challenge your analytical skills. I often incorporate relatable themes, like upcoming holidays, to make learning enjoyable.
I have over a year of experience tutoring students in the International Baccalaureate curriculum. I've worked one-on-one with an 11th-grader in geometry and algebra and subsequently tutored a 12th-grade in calculus. I also aided her in preparing for college entrance exams in math.
I find deep fulfillment in helping students unlock their potential and achieve their goals. I continually refine my teaching methods through the latest research in pedagogy. If you're interested in personalized, effective tutoring, feel free to reach out anytime.
