About Skye

Hello, my name is Skye. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematical Physics and I have been a lifelong problem solver. I am enthusiastic about solving difficult math and physics problems and I love sharing the skills and strategies I use with other students. Throughout high school and undergrad, I have been the "go to" person for homework help. Everyone learns differently and I like to adapt my tutoring strategy to my student's learning style. I take the time to understand how you learn best so that I can tailor my explanations in a way that makes sense to you. It is important that students arrive at solutions to problems independently in order to internalize the concepts that they are learning. I will not just give you solutions, rather I guide you through the problem solving strategies that I go through when solving the same problem. I ask prompting questions to facilitate the discovery of these problem solving techniques by yourself. All in all, I enjoy seeing my students make progress and developing a deeper understanding in the topics I teach. I will take the time to help you achieve your highest potential!

About the lesson

A typical lesson starts with summarizing important definitions and concepts, and then going through a worked example. I address any questions, concerns, doubts, etc. along the way. Then I give my students an example to work on with hints depending on how comfortable they are with the lesson so far. I adjust my pacing and strategy depending on my student's needs.

I give hints via guiding questions that help the student think about the problem in a different light in order to see the solution more clearly. I like to give my students an appropriate amount of time to think about the question and problem solving strategy before giving more hints. I believe this helps students to better internalize what they are learning as it helps them arrive at the solution using their own independent thinking.

My lessons are for middle school, high school, and even 1st and 2nd year undergraduate students taking math or physics courses.

I can also tutor math in Cantonese (我识讲广东话, 我可以教你数学)

Perfect! I found Skye on SuperProf at a desperate time when I needed a little extra push to do better in Grade 12 Advanced Functions and Physics. I reached out and he responded within 15 minutes, and then we had our first session that day!

Skye is extremely smart and a very good tutor! He explains the "why's" behind every math operation and the theory behind the Physics concept, which really locks in why you are doing what you are doing. When I have trouble figuring things out in class, I rest assured I can just ask Skye at our next tutoring session!

He is also unlike any other tutor I've had. Skye actually cares about the work he does. He double checks your understanding, tries new and REAL ways to explain concepts and gives you tips + tricks to answering questions. It is super helpful!

10/10! I highly recommend Skye if you need help with Math and Physics in general, or even just a push to do better in your classes!

Thank you so much for everything Skye!

Abdulrahman is a very bright student! He approached me for help with Grade 12 University level Math and Physics with a solid foundational understanding of all prerequisite topics which made my job tutoring him so much easier! He's extremely organized and always quickly sends me all the necessary course material I need to do my job! He's a quick learner, and asks very deep and insightful questions that as a tutor I found very enjoyable to answer all the time as it sparked more deeper discussions about interesting applications and implications about the topics we were covering. I thoroughly enjoyed tutoring Abdulrahman as he made my job easier and always engaged in interesting conversations about the topics he studies!

Perfect! Skye and my 15 year old son hit it off right away. My son tends to be shy and had never been tutored before. Skye is positive, patient, and made him feel very comfortable and my son gave me a thumbs up even during his first lesson; I was very relieved. Skye is organized and asked at least a day in advance what my son would like to work on so no time is wasted during the actual weekly sessions. Skye taught the lessons for which my son couldn’t hear or understand his teacher. And when my son did understand the teacher’s lesson, Skye would teach him strategies and tips and go over more difficult questions that might come up on a test. In less than a month, my son already scored 20% higher on his next test, a huge improvement! I’m so thankful Skye is my son’s tutor. His philosophy is to guide and give students the skills and confidence to do well independently instead of forever stringing them on. However, until my son is getting A’s in math again, I’ll definitely ask Skye to keep helping my son.

Skye's response
Fong's son was a delight to teach! Over the course of 1.5 months, he went from having no idea what was going on to confidently answering many difficult question in his math class. He's made tremendous progress in his problem solving and math skills! Vincent can further improve his studying skills by creating flashcards to help memorize key math terms that are trickier to get a grasp on.

Skye's response
Cindy's son is a quick learner, and introspective. He knows exactly what he needs help with and that makes my job a lot easier! I look forward to strengthening his analytical problem solving skills together over the next several weeks!

Skye helped me understand concepts in my math, physics, and computer science courses during my undergraduate degree. He is extremely passionate about his subjects and helps explain concepts in an easy to understand manner. I particularly liked how Skye asked guiding questions when helping me with assignment questions that I had trouble with, rather than just giving me the answer. His guiding questions helped me figure out and understand how and why the solution works, which helped reinforce my learning and knowledge! Skye is also extremely enthusiastic about what he teaches and is very patient while tutoring, which definitely benefits his students. I definitely recommend Skye for tutoring math or physics, especially if you need help understanding concepts or tackling a hard assignment.

Skye is an outstanding tutor! He always has several different approaches of communicating a concept to ensure you are able to either create a foundation of knowledge, or challenge your perception and build upon your understanding. He has the utmost patience, always welcoming any questions you may have and highlighting his ability to be compassionate but still instructional. He tutored me with mathematics and computer science, making the transition from high school to university much smoother!

Skye is an excellent tutor. His enthusiasm for his subjects and for teaching is infectious and students benefit from his passion alongside his expertise. Not only will he patiently guide you to the solution of a problem you may have, but he ensures that you understand the concepts behind what you're doing, as well help you develop the necessary skills and fundamentals you need to tackle the next problem. He's gladly helped me understand math concepts beyond the scope of my curriculum and that's only helped interest in math as a whole. I would highly recommend Skye for all levels of math or physics if you need to reinforce your learning, finish a difficult problem set, or just to expand your knowledge.
