Fun Facts

I'm a wood element, which is good for teachers. However, I'm also an Engineer, which goes by the water element.

About Me

Hi, my name is Kevin Chan. I'm passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals and build confidence in their learning. With a background in engineering and over 7 years of experience in technical fields, I bring a practical, patient, and results-driven approach to tutoring. I specialise in math, science, and technology-related subjects, but I also enjoy helping students improve their study habits, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

My teaching style is supportive and adaptive—I tailor each session to fit the student's learning style and pace. Whether it's breaking down complex concepts or preparing for exams, I'm here to guide students every step of the way. I'm a lifelong learner myself, currently diving deeper into AI and software development, and I love inspiring that same curiosity and growth mindset in my students.

Experience

SJSU graduate in Engineering
Taught kids 5 years to adults (ESL, Math, and English)

Approach

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that math and engineering go hand in hand—they are both tools for solving real-world problems and understanding how the world works. I emphasise to my students that mastering math isn't just about memorising formulas; it's about developing a way of thinking that engineers and innovators rely on every day.

I focus on building a strong foundation in core concepts, then connecting those ideas to practical applications in engineering and technology.
