My name is Sylvie, an enthusiastic private tutor for over 7 years with math as my first language and chemistry as my second. I found my purpose in life and that is "paying it forward" to our community through education by instilling grit with a growth mindset. I emphasize the importance of learning the fundamentals and concepts where it gets carried through in advanced topics. The highlight of my teaching style is being flexible by providing a variety of skills of analyzing, approaching, and double-checking a problem along with test taking strategies.

Since the start of the pandemic, I have witnessed a loss of learning which greatly hinders many students of being able to move forward in math because it requires prior knowledge. When I work with my students, I recognize these gaps in their learning so I provide personalized, supplemental work that will help them to be successful. One of the most important values to me as a tutor is being personable and be a support for every student in their academics such as effective planning, improving their self-esteem, increasing their confidence, and adjusting my teaching style if needed for learning disabilities such as dyslexia or dyscalculia.

I hope to achieve with my students by bringing in creativity with solid foundations to become efficient problem solvers and bring the joy of learning to my students. To make a positive difference and be a part of their academic success is what I aim for!

Exceptional tutor; goes above and beyond!

My daughter is intimidated by math, and she adores Sylvie! She went from refusing multiple tutors to looking forward to her sessions! Sylvie always prepares, communicates with my daughter's teachers, and prepares short assignments for between sessions.

Nicole, 146 lessons with Sylvie

Very knowledgeable and kind

She helped my daughter with one session and she got 2 grades higher on her next test after working with Sylvie. She was so kind and patient and taught my daughter a different way to solve problems that was easier for her to understand

Great tutor!

Sylvie was extremely responsive and communications were smooth. She knows the subject matter extremely well and adapted quickly to my daughter’s focused final exam prep. I am sure we will reach out for additional sessions in the future. Great experience all around. A big thanks to Sylvie.
