Professional tutor and U of T Neuroscience graduate in Toronto giving Chemistry, Biology and Math lessons for high school students.
Methodology
Through my many years of tutoring I have learnt how to build a multi-faceted approach focusing on visual and verbal learning, using diagrams and demonstrations to allow students to reach the best understanding they can. I am patient, outgoing, and enthusiastic, and use real life examples and 'fun facts!' to keep students engaged and interested in their subject.
Background
I am a professional tutor with seven years of experience and an Honours BSc. in Neuroscience from the University of Toronto. I love science and have a huge passion for teaching and helping students get engaged and get excited about learning! I have helped hundreds of students over the years excel and reach their goals of being accepted in various programs, universities, and colleges, while showing them that learning can be interesting and fun.

Reviews on Mikaela
1 recommendation
Mikaela is an amazing person I have to say first off. I have known her for 5 years. What I love most is her adaptability in changing her teaching styles to make sure it is the best for her student. A very trustworthy, approachable, and compationate person. She would make an amazing tutor and teacher as she knows her information and pays attention to her students.
