CLARA TONG

Clara has been my tutor for Chemistry 12. Since my classes in school are online these days, some of the material gets really confusing. Clara helped me go over chapters in my chemistry book and patiently answered all my questions. She also introduced me to a virtual titration lab and helped me navigate through it. As a tutor, Clara is punctual, responsible and easy to talk to.

Clara has been very helpful in teaching me pre-calc 11 these past months. I always struggled with math and never really understood what we were doing in class. Clara was very patient and helped me out a lot, she gave me very clear explanations that made it easier for me to understand.

Having worked with Clara over the past 3 years in grades 10-12, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for further support and guidance in their math and science courses. Clara is punctual, respectful, knowledgeable, flexible, and invested in your learning. Not only does Clara help you understand the classroom material being taught, but she actually shows you how to apply that material to higher level questions. Clara took my math/science grades from the low-mid 90’s, to the high 90’s, helping me to place in the top 3 students of my class in regards to GPA.

My grade 8 son was struggling with high school math in this COVID time of learning. He was having trouble with comprehending and remembering a lot of the fundamentals that his teacher was not able to get across to him. After three months of working with Clara, he is totally different. She has been able to do what his high school math teacher could not, connect with our son in a way to help him learn. Not only does he now have a solid understanding of the fundamentals, he is also confident in his ability to solve math problems that come his way. Clara’s teaching style and personality is awesome and has been exactly what my son has needed.

Meeting with Clara on a weekly basis really helped me develop and strengthen my math skills. I became more confident in myself and my marks heavily improved. The Jamboard app was also something that I liked because it was so simple. Questions would be annotated and explained including the ability to view it later or whenever. It is definitely a great decision to work with Clara and I highly suggest using her resources if you want to be tutored overall or to strengthen your skills. Her explanations also make it super easy to understand, so overall I really enjoyed learning with her. Thanks again Clara!!

Clara was very patient and kind when explaining the calculus concepts I was confused about to me. I enjoyed our sessions not only because I finally understood topics I had been confused about, but because it was enjoyable to chat and joke around with her as well as learn. I highly recommend Clara if you need any help with math or science. She gave me the help and confidence I needed to succeed in my university level calculus course! (submitted to Google reviews)

Clara is very patient and clear when explaining subjects ranging from math to sciences. She helped me improve my grades and most importantly my understanding of the subject. Definitely would recommend. (submitted to Google reviews)

Clara was most effective in assisting and motivating my daughter with respect to her math and chemistry studies. I highly recommend her. (submitted to Google reviews)

I had to retake precalc 12 over 5 weeks this summer in order to take 1st year calculus at UBC. It had been four years since I had taken precalc 12 in high school and I remembered nothing of it. Clara was very comprehensive in her teaching and made sure I always fully understood each concept covered in class and in the homework. With Clara’s help, I achieved an A+ in my precalc 12 course and it would have been impossible without her. She is flexible, very knowledgeable, and a very effective tutor despite having sessions online. I like the tools she uses in google docs and face time because it made it feel like any normal in-person tutoring session. I would recommend her to anyone seeking help in math!

Clara has tutored me for a majority of Pre-Calculus 11 and all of Pre-Calculus 12. She has been patient, friendly and extremely helpful in raising, and then solidify my math mark. As a result I achieved my first ever A in any high school math course, and a majority of the credit goes to her.
