Also, I was invited to participate in the 32nd Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO), whose number of participants was limited to about 80 in Canada every year. My education has provided me with a thorough understanding of mathematics and science in high school curriculum. I have also obtained my N1 Certificate (Advanced Level) in Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). I am teaching online. Some of my students say that....
1. Alan has been tutoring me in grade 11 and 12 physics and advanced functions. He always comes prepared with online textbooks, extra questions and practise tests. His explanations are clear and he does everything he can to help me understand anything I need help with, sometimes even willing to do last minute, late night sessions. He is very easy to be reached if I have any questions throughout the week. He is a great tutor and I can't thank him enough for all his help. Thanks to him, I now feel confident in tackling my post secondary education!
2. I contacted Alan seeing a post on OKz.ca, and he went above and beyond to make time for me on short notice- even a 9pm-12am session far from where he lives! When he arrived, he had actually downloaded a .pdf version of my textbook, and reviewed the material before coming to see me. He is an incredible tutor, and with two sessions before my exam I managed to get the grade I needed. Thanks to him, I'm on my way to a great career as a registered nurse! Thank you, Alan, for all your dedication to helping students like me get to where they need to be!
3. Alan has helped me by providing me with challenging questions for Calculus, Grade 12 Physics and Grade 12 Chemistry. This has greatly helped me in bring my mark from a low 90 to a high 90.
