Are you looking for a caring, experienced, and skilled ESL or elementary, middle, or high school tutor? I have a great deal of experience tutoring—and teaching—a variety of subjects including ESL, math, science (including the social sciences) and the humanities. My understanding of effective teaching practices has been developed through my research work. I hold a PhD in Education, an MA in Counselling, and a BA in Psychology. For an example of my research work, my dissertation is available online at https://open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/24/items/1.0300025 My unique approach to tutoring empowers learners to create and to use strategies that promote not only their current academic success, but also success in future endeavors. I have an inviting and comfortable office space in VicWest and I also make house calls.
