About Gaylen

Hi, I’m Gaylen! I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others excel in their studies. Beyond my academic pursuits, I’m an avid PC gamer, hockey player, anime enthusiast, and camper. I bring the same dedication and discipline from my studies and hobbies into my tutoring. My approach is engaging and personalized, ensuring each session is both informative and enjoyable. Though I never made it as a pro athlete, my commitment to teamwork and perseverance is unmatched. Let's work together to achieve your academic goals and give you the confidence you need to take the next step on your journey!

About the lesson

My teaching methodology is rooted in a student-centred approach, focusing on clarity, engagement, and practical application. I utilize a blend of theoretical instruction and hands-on exercises to ensure that students with ADHD or ADD not only understand the concepts but can also apply them in real-world scenarios.

- Interactive Learning: I encourage active participation through discussions with each student to ensure an understanding of the material being studied. This fosters a collaborative learning environment where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and asking questions.

- Customized Lesson Plans: Each lesson is tailored to the student's learning style and pace, ensuring a personalized learning experience. By understanding individual needs, I can create lessons that are both effective and enjoyable.

- Practical Examples: I integrate real-world examples and case studies to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This helps students see the relevance of their learning in everyday situations and enhances their comprehension.

- Continuous Assessment: Quizzes and feedback sessions help track progress and address any learning gaps promptly. Regular assessments ensure that students are continually improving and staying on track.

- Technology Integration: Utilizing the latest tools and software, I enhance the learning experience, making it more relevant to current industry standards. This includes digital resources for reading and writing practice, which can make learning more engaging and interactive.

A Typical Lesson Plan

Introduction (10 minutes): Overview of the day's objectives and a brief review of the previous lesson.
Theoretical Instruction (20 minutes): In-depth explanation of the core concepts using visual aids and examples.
Practical Application (20 minutes): Hands-on activities, case studies, or exercises to apply the learned concepts.
Interactive Discussion (15 minutes): Open forum for questions, clarifications, and discussions to deepen understanding.
Assessment and/or Feedback (10 minutes): Short quiz or activity followed by personalized feedback and tips for improvement.
Conclusion (5 minutes): Summary of key takeaways and an overview of the next lesson.

What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor

Expertise and Academic Excellence: Proven by my perfect GPA, I bring a high level of expertise and dedication to my teaching.
Mature Perspective: As a mature student, I offer a unique perspective and can relate to both younger and older students, understanding the challenges they face.
Engaging and Adaptable: My teaching style is dynamic and adaptable, ensuring that each session is engaging and meets the specific needs of my students.
Commitment to Success: I am dedicated to my students' success, providing continuous support, motivation, and resources to help them achieve their goals.
Real-World Experience: My background as an individual who was not diagnosed until after 30 allows me to understand the struggles of a young individual while also providing the tools to help them manage their Executive Dysfunction.

Gaylen is an incredible teacher with a thorough understanding of a vast array of subject matter, and never ending thirst for knowledge. He has a great skill set and ability to understand others differing opinions, or approaches to subject matter, and is able to relay information based on these views. Gaylen also has an incredible ability to explain the concepts through a more comprehensive manner than other instructors I've worked with. Overall he is an open minded, intelligent, and patient teacher that truly enjoys helping others to not only grasp the concept, but excel with the knowledge they gain. 10/10 recommend.
