À propos

My favourite part about tutoring is turning "I have no idea what I’m doing” into "wait… that actually makes sense". My name is Elissar, and I’m an Honours Biology graduate from York University, where I took courses in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, math, and other sciences. I'm also an in-person volunteer tutor and have worked with students with different strengths, struggles, and ways of learning. I’ve been through the long study days, stressful exams, busy schedules, and difficult courses myself, so I know that understanding the material is only part of it. Knowing how to study, manage your time, and prepare for an exam matters too. I’m pretty easygoing and patient, and I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, even if they think the question is "obvious". If something doesn’t make sense the first time, I'll try explaining in a different and easier way. At the end of the day, I want to make school feel a little less stressful and help you become more confident in what you’re doing.
