I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

HongYi

Certified Tutor

I am a second-year student at the University of Toronto pursuing a BSc, double majoring in Computer Science (Focus in Machine Learning) and Astronomy, and minoring in East Asian studies. My academic background equips me to tutor mathematics (pre-algebra through Algebra II), physics (mechanics and electromagnetism), general science, Python coding, and Mandarin language studies.

I have been the "tutor-guy" in my schools, having experiences working as the instructor in Kumon for almost a year, and serving as president of Math, Computer Science, and Astronomy clubs in high school, organizing tutorials and study sessions for more than 100 peers.

I strive to make all students comfortable with reaching their goals. My teaching philosophy centers on growth mindset and adaptation: I begin by assessing each student's strengths and challenges, then design lessons with clear, measurable objectives and incorporate frequent mini-assessments to adapt instruction dynamically.

I look forward to bringing my enthusiasm, expertise, and student-centered approach to help my students succeed and discover the joy of learning along their way :D

Hobbies

My hobbies are more on the "chill" sides. I love reading and learning "random" things: from South American countries' History to Micronesian Anthropologies to Japanese lightnovels. This hobby keep me inspired in my studies and bring creativity into my teaching. I also love exploring music generes, especially generes under jazz and world music. Other hobbies include cooking, jogging 5k, and body-weight workouts.
