Bilingual Science and Languages Tutor | Spanish and English

Ian W.

Hey there! My name is Ian, and I graduated from McGill University with a degree in Statistics and minors in Arabic and Economics. I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Utah. I have experience with a wide range of subjects, but my strongest areas are Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Probability, and Economics. I also speak English, Spanish, and French fluently and would love to help students learn those languages as well.

During the final year of my undergraduate degree, I tutored Calculus, Statistics, and Linear Algebra through McGill University’s tutoring program. My teaching style is flexible and centered around understanding where a student is starting from. I like to identify the concepts that are giving them trouble and then work through those areas together. For math, I especially enjoy working through practice problems with students. Rather than simply giving an answer, I want students to develop the ability to recognize problems, work through them, and understand why a solution works.

For languages, I focus heavily on conversation, active listening, and building vocabulary in context. I also encourage students to use techniques such as image-based flashcards to build stronger connections with new words.

Ultimately, my goal isn't just to help you get through your next assignment or exam. I want to give you the tools and confidence to become a more independent learner. My favorite part of tutoring is when a student reaches the point where they realize, “Oh, I actually know how to do this.”
