Meet the Tutor

I am an experienced teacher and have been teaching with the Durham District School Board since 2009,  living in Uxbridge since 2016. Throughout my teaching career I have taught from grades K-8, and in both French and English as the language of instruction and am currently a high school Math and Computer Studies teacher.  I am a graduate of the University of Waterloo, with a Bachelor of Mathematics, Honours Computer Science/Information Systems Option degree. Whether your child is looking to close gaps in English, French or math, or challenge themselves with more advanced work, I create a program tailored to their needs.   Contact me to discuss how I can help your child.

Services

I offer tutoring in English, Math and French both in person and virtually using Zoom. As both a student and a teacher of the French Immersion Program, I understand the challenges of learning and teaching a second language and want to give my students all the tools they need to succeed.

Every student is different, therefore every tutoring program is designed to meet the needs of your child. I work with your child to help them reach their potential and feel more successful in their school life.   From homework help to developing reading, writing and math strategies - I am happy to customize a program for you.
