In-Person Tutoring (Certified BC Teacher) Math Reading Writing ESL, Etc. image 1

Hello, I'm Shawn, a certified BC school teacher. I can tutor all core courses 1-on-1 in your home or the public library seven days a week in Victoria, and weekends on the Westshore. I have nearly 40 years of experience teaching and tutoring K-12 and adults. I resigned from my full-time teaching position at St. Margaret's, a K-12 all-girls school in Victoria, in 2021, and resumed tutoring in 2023. Previously, I taught ESL to children and adults in Taiwan for 12 years, including at an English immersion kindergarten, while I studied Mandarin. I tutored math, science, and ESL in Vancouver for 2 years while attending UBC for my Education degree, and in Victoria for 2 years while working as a teacher-on-call for the Sooke school district. More recently, during my 19 years teaching full time I taught social studies, ESL, English, economic theory, political studies, and Asian studies, and provided math, science, and Mandarin support. Before completing a BA in Asian area studies (China), I studied Calculus I and II, matrix algebra, probability, statistics, micro- and macroeconomics, physics, and chemistry at the university level. I tutor most subjects, mainly Grades 1-10, including Math, English literacy, ESL, science, social studies (including Grade 12 history, geography, economics, political science, anthropology, sociology, Asian studies, etc.) Physics 11, Mandarin, music, etc. I am currently tutoring a number of long-term students (children, teenagers and adults) with a variety of learning strengths and challenges. I am proud that they all enjoy success in every class. I'm a native English speaker. My BC Teacher Certification (including criminal record check) is current and valid. References available. I tutor in Victoria 7 days a week during the school day (for home schoolers, college students, and adults) and after school and evenings, and I tutor on the Westshore on weekends. Please send me an email. For all enquiries, please indicate your general location. Thank you, and I look forward hearing from you. Shawn Comments from parents: November 6, 2023: [ ] is doing pretty well at school with his writing and spelling this year. We had his parent-teacher meeting, and his [Grade 5] teacher says   that his writing is better than most of his classmates at this point. Also, his spelling is really improving, and he's been getting strong marks on spelling tests! So that's all good. [When I began tutoring this student 8 months previously, he was in Grade 4 and was struggling with writing, spelling, and printing.] November 13, 2023: [ ] was reading to me the other day and I was absolutely blown away with his ability, confidence and clarity. It was a perfect experience to listen to him effortlessly   read aloud. Thank you so much for your continued support with him. [When I began tutoring this student one year previously, he was in Grade 12 and was a non-reader.] Jan. 15, 2024, after a first lesson: Thank you so much for the summary! [ ] had a positive experience with the session and had nothing but good things to say.   Thank you for providing such a nurturing and supportive environment. Feb. 10, 2024, after a first lesson: Thank you so much for today’s session. [ ] loved it!   April. 25, 2024, after a first lesson: Hi Shawn; thanks again for this evening. [ ] feels great about how it went. June 4, 2024: He's doing well at school at the moment but I also know he enjoys learning with you, and gets more out of the one on one instruction. August 20, 2024: Really appreciate all of your efforts over the summer to keep our kids on track. August 23, 2024, after a first lesson: [ ] says today was excellent! She feels it was really helpful to start thinking about math again. September 5, 2024: You will be happy to hear that [ ] did really well on the multiplication worksheet in class yesterday … apparently some friends were asking for the answers….We are very thrilled for you to continue doing what you’re doing! They are having fun and learning lots. Thanks again for all your support! September 7, 2024, after a first lesson: [ ] said he can’t wait for next time.
