I break down the seemingly complex concepts for students into basic, fundamental principles. Next, I walk them all the way through the concept and help them learn how to deal with the problems.
In other words, the approach by which I tackle any science question is quite simple, yet effective. All you need to do:
(a) Understand what is asked of you, say x
(b) Identify and learn what tools (equations or concepts) you have that helps you find x.
This way, I help students learn how to think analytically in the face of questions.
I am an MSc in Chem. Eng. from the UofA, with a 4.0/4.0 GPA
BSc in Polymer Eng.
I have 5+ years of industrial work experience as a polymer engineer
Currently working as a research assistant in the UofA
I have tutored for 9+ years in various subjects such as:
- High school physics, chemistry, and math
- Engineering basics: calculus, engineering physics, ...
- Polymer science courses
- Chemical Eng courses: Thermodynamics, Fluid mechanics, ...

Perfect! He is a great tutor. He gives detailed explanations which makes understanding the material easier. He starts with the basic concepts so you really know to approach the questions and why we use the physics we use. Overall a great tutor.
I really enjoy working with Marilyn. She's communicative and helps us have interactive sessions
Perfect! Amazing tutor, teaches the fundamental concepts
I have really enjoyed working with Andre. He's communicative and asks his questions along the way, which helps our sessions be smooth and effective.
Perfect! Reza is excellent at explaining difficult concepts to students and makes sure you understand everything in order to succeed on future exams. He breaks down concepts in detail to ensure you fully grasp the subject being taught!
Helping Tarriro was really fun. She is a bright student with well organized questions
