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!

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 1st and 2nd year undergraduate linear algebra students. I am able to provide in-person lessons for UOttawa students taking MAT 1341 Introduction to Linear Algebra.
I can also tutor math in Cantonese (我识讲广东话, 我可以教你数学)

Skye assisted me greatly in my undergrad math and physics courses. He was endlessly patient with me and took the time to make sure that I really understood the concepts. He’s so passionate about math and physics and that enthusiasm is contagious, inspiring me to keep going even with topics and concepts that frustrated me. Skye explains concepts in a clear way and was always happy to answer any questions I had. Skye is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a math or physics tutor!
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.
