About Jiya
Hi, I’m Jiya! As a fourth-year student specializing in Human Biology and Psychology at the University of Toronto, I understand that the jump to senior high school sciences and math can feel overwhelming. My goal is to transform that information overload into genuine understanding and academic confidence.
My journey through rigorous university academics including being named to the Dean’s List has taught me that success is not just about working harder; it is about studying smarter. I bring a professional, organized, and empathetic approach to every session. Having served as an Emergency First Responder on campus and as a researcher in clinical settings, I have developed the patience and communication skills needed to explain high-level concepts in ways that are clear and accessible.
I take great pride in seeing my students move from frustration to that "aha!" moment. Beyond just helping you ace your next test, I am committed to sharing the organizational habits and study frameworks that helped me succeed, ensuring you feel fully prepared for Grade 11 and the university journey ahead.

My methodology is rooted in active learning and evidence-based study techniques. I don't just lecture; I help students build a "mental map" of complex systems. For Biology, I focus on active recall and spaced repetition to master terminology, while for Math, I emphasize first-principles thinking, ensuring students understand the "why" behind a formula so they can solve unfamiliar problems with confidence.
A Typical 60-Minute Lesson Plan:
The Review (10 min): A quick "low-stakes" quiz on the previous session’s concepts to strengthen long-term memory.
Interactive Instruction (25 min): Introducing new material through visual aids and collaborative problem-solving.
Guided Practice (15 min): The student tackles problems while I provide real-time feedback and "scaffolding" to correct misconceptions early.
The Summary (10 min): The student explains the concept back to me (The Feynman Technique) to confirm mastery.
What Sets Me Apart
I bridge the gap between being a high-achieving student and a professional educator. Because I am currently navigating the rigors of university-level Human Biology and Psychology, I understand exactly where Grade 11 students struggle. I provide more than just content; I teach test-taking endurance and academic organization, the "hidden curriculum" required to excel in senior high school and transition smoothly to university.
Who These Lessons Are For
These sessions are specifically designed for Grade 9 through Grade 11 students following the Ontario curriculum (or equivalent). Whether you are struggling to pass Grade 11 Functions or aiming for a top-tier mark in SBI3U Biology to prepare for a future in healthcare or life sciences, my lessons are tailored to your specific academic goals and pace.
