My name is Solomiia, and I've been working as a babysitter, and a tutor for the past three years, and if needed, all references can be provided. I can tutor mathematics, languages, and science courses to senior students, and do homework, extra explanations for middle/primary schoolers.
For context, I am from Ukraine and in Apr 2024, my family moved to Canada to prevent my fourteen-year-old brother from being drafted. Both of my parents have severe health issues (asthma and vision impairment), and I am in serious need to support them, because they can not work fully. All of us received work permits when we entered the country. In Toronto, since Sept 2024, I've been working as a private math tutor and a babysitter in my local neighborhood.
Back in April 2024, I arrived halfway through the semester of Grade 11, and it was a big shift from my previous Ukrainian school. I adapted very quickly and finished the year with an outstanding 97%:
• English - 95 (NBE3U1)
• Accounting - 98 (BAF3M1)
• Functions - 99 (MCR3U1)
• Leadership - 98 (PLF4M1)
• Chemistry - 96 (SCH3UE)
• Biology - 95 (SBI3UE)
I know what it means to work hard, and as long as the student is willing to work hard with me, we can achieve amazing results together. Now, I'm finishing Grade 12 with a 98% average:
• English - 95 (ENG4U1)
• Advanced Functions - 99 (MHF4U1)
• Chemistry - 99 (SCH4U1)
• Change in Society - 98 (HSB4U1)
• Calculus and Vectors - 99 (MCV4U1)
• Data Management - 99 (MDM4U1)
• History - 96 (CHY4U1)
This year, I have also been accepted to the University of Toronto with a 225, 000$ scholarship, and I plan to major in Finance with a minor in Linguistics.
During my Gr 12 school year, my math teacher recommended me to her family friend, and I worked as an on-home tutor for that family, tutoring Gr 11 Math (MCR3U1) to their son. Later, I also found new tutoring opportunities:
• worked as an after-school tutor, tutoring Gr 12 Math to a classmate
• weekly did tutoring sessions for an IEP student, tutoring Gr 11 Math at Fort York Library
• weekly tutored Gr 12 College Level Math to a girl who scored the highest score after our tutoring sessions in all of her math courses during high school! (She got an 87, majorly helping her with university applications
• weekly tutoring Gr 11 Math (MCR3U1) for another IEP student at Sanderson Library
These experiences helped me find personalized approaches to each student and identify their weak sides in subjects that they are taking. I prepared lessons, stayed extra time to train students better for an upcoming evaluation. I took up tutoring with appreciation, patience, and great responsibility (as if I was teaching my little brother.
Additionally, I worked as a babysitter for a family with two children in Downtown Toronto (a 4-year-old girl and a 1, 5-year-old boy). They lived 15 minutes away from me, and I came to them every morning at 7:30am before school. I changed diapers, fed children, dressed them, and got them ready to go to kindergarten. I came to the family after school at 3:15pm. I prepared dinner, cleaned up the space, met up the children from the kindergarten, undressed them, did any homework with them, and went for a walk, played interactive games. My shift ended at 7pm after the parents finished their work. This job helped me stay responsible, mindful of family needs, and dedicated. I am very kind, calm young lady who loves interacting with children and helping out when the family needs me the most (especially in the mornings before kindergarten/school, and after the children get home). I also did laundry for the family, changed bedsheets, ironed clothes, and did groceries from time to time.
I also have experiences from Ukraine where I did babysitting and tutoring in Math, English & German Languages, + Science tutoring. I think that my recent Canadian experiences mentioned above can prove my working ethic and dedication. I can provide reference letters from teachers, the families I worked with, students' tutoring reviews and proof of school transcripts. I am grateful and appreciative of working opportunities because in this way I can help support my family and gain new working experience.
For work, I am available anytime after 12 pm during weekdays and all day long on weekends. I am open to the family's preferences and instructions. Please, if you are interested, do not hesitate to reach out to me.
