Ian G.
Private tutor in Kingston, Canada
Education
I have a Ph.D. in History & Literature from the University of Toronto, where I was also a National & Professional Prizes Recipient. I earned my B.A. (with Honors) at the University of Bristol in England, where I graduated top of the class. In addition, I have a certificate in Classical Guitar Performance from Saint Petersburg State Conservatory in Russia.
Experience
My experience includes 7 years' work as an instructor and tutor in Russian language, literature, and political science at the University of Toronto and 4 years as an English as a Second Language Teacher working with kids aged 5-18. I'm an expert in working with students of all abilities, helping them from the ground up to link academic success and personal growth: whether your child is struggling with learning difficulties or gunning for top university places, I have the experience and skills to help them out. Students love my expertise, passion, and willingness to go the extra mile helping them successfully build confidence. I've also taken courses and professional development in teaching, student support, learning strategies, counseling, and related themes.

Hobbies
- Having fun beyond the classroom is vital to wellness and academic success - when I'm not teaching, you can find me developing the music skills I learnt studying music at the St. Petersburg Conservatory in Russia, or bravely losing in a squash game!
