About
Living in Toronto, I dive into hobbies like chess, debating, and skiing whenever I can. I'm currently studying Psychology & Philosophy at the University of Toronto, where I also actively participate i... n various campus communities, from being an executive for the Canadian Asian Student Society to the UTM Chess Treasurer.
Tutoring, particularly in chess, has become a pathway for me to share a hobby I’m passionate about. What I love about tutoring is that it's a two-way street; I get to share the strategic depth of chess, and in return, I learn from my students’ unique perspectives and questions. My tutoring philosophy is centered around making learning engaging and relatable. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and challenge their understanding, promoting a deeper comprehension and appreciation of chess.read more
