I am an Engineering student at the University of Victoria with a strong background in mathematics and science. I specialize in subjects such as calculus, pre-calculus, linear algebra, physics, and introductory chemistry. I am passionate about helping students build a strong understanding of core concepts through clear, step-by-step explanations.

My teaching style is patient, structured, and adaptable to each student’s learning pace, with a focus on improving problem-solving skills and exam performance.
