His teaching experience includes AP, Pre-AP, and IB-level coursework, as well as preparation for mathematics and programming competitions organized by the University of Waterloo and the Canadian Mathematical Society, along with Singapore Math enrichment. His students have achieved strong results in advanced courses and examinations, including scores of 4/5 in AP Physics and 5/5 in AP Precalculus.

Karan believes that effective tutoring begins with understanding how each student learns best. He adapts the pace, explanations, examples, and level of practice to each learner’s strengths, challenges, and academic goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. During the first few sessions, Karan focuses on assessing the student’s current understanding, identifying learning gaps, and establishing clear goals with the student and family.

From there, he develops a structured and personalized learning plan supported by worksheets, practice problems, and progressively challenging material that he has developed and gathered throughout his teaching career. His professional engineering background also enables him to connect academic concepts with practical, real-world applications, helping students understand not only how to solve a problem, but also why the concepts matter.

Karan has called Canada home since 2018 and takes great pride in contributing to the education and development of students in his community. Outside of teaching and engineering, he enjoys playing tennis, working out, and practicing yoga.

JENNA H.

My name is Jenna and I am passionate about teaching science, math, and French. I love helping students build confidence, improve their skills, and reach their goals. One of the most rewarding parts of tutoring is seeing my students’ progress and sharing that excitement with both them and their families.

I am currently completing a BSc in Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry at the University of Toronto. I have worked with more than 50 students from kindergarten through Grade 12, supporting them in their school courses and, in some cases, teaching full courses to students who were not taking them at school. I am comfortable with math up to and including Advanced Functions and Calculus, and I am fluent in English, French, and Arabic, which lets me support students in French at any level.

Outside of tutoring, you will usually find me painting, knitting, reading, cooking, or out for a long walk. My long-term goal is to become a doctor, and tutoring has become one of my favourite parts of that path. It has taught me patience, how to explain complicated ideas simply, and how much I enjoy watching a student realize they can do something they thought they could not.
