Hi! I'm Laurie, I have been tutoring Math and Physics for 15 years now across 3 different continents. I graduated in 2007 from the University of Leeds with a 1st class degree in Mathematics, with International honours from Pennsylvania State University. I love to teach, I have been teaching and coaching in one way or another since I was 16, and take great pride in every lesson I've given. I work full time for the ski school in Whistler, and am available for tutoring any evening. I have been tutoring Maths and Physics part time to high school students in various countries around the world. I have experience teaching IB, the english curriculum, and high school syllabi from Canada, US, UK, Australia and New Zealand. I believe in student-centred learning. All students are different and learn in different ways, and in a 1 on 1 setting it is possible to tailor each lesson to suit the student. When it comes to precise and logical subjects such as Maths and Physics, I believe very strongly in teaching students not just how to do something, but why to do it, which I believe is lacking in most classrooms. It is only by understanding the foundations that students can think independently and approach problems with confidence.
