Masood has been a full-time Math and Physics tutor since 2007. His formal educational background is in electrical engineering, for which he has an accredited degree from the University of Toronto. His teaching pedagogy can be summarized in the belief that building a confident student is the first stepping stone towards creating success.
He specializes in working with gifted students and students enrolled in various “gifted” programs, as well as students who may be struggling and may simply need a patient and different approach to learning customized to their unique needs.
All my tutoring sessions are at least 2 hours long, this may sound very long but most of my students admit after the first session that the time passes by very quickly. When you are engaged in individual learning, it is different than sitting in a classroom. Normally, homework is only reviewed but not completed during the session. I expect students to do their homework ahead of time, so we can pinpoint the problems and work on solving them together.
Students should try their best to do their homework on their own. If they still have problems, I will help them to find the right solutions. Generally, I avoid turning my sessions into homework sessions since I'd like to give the student the benefit of being given additional work from outside the classroom. In any case, I always support my students the best way I can.
I have taught students who are going to adult school, taking ILC-programs, and those starting the first year of University. Most of them have been out of school for many years and have difficulties reconnecting with math or physics topics. Although I prefer working within the grade 10 to 12 curriculum, some exceptions can be made for adult students. Please call me to discuss your goals.
