About Me
My Name is Philip Demsey, MEng, MBA.
I’m a college instructor with over ten years of experience helping students succeed through tutoring and guidance. I also bring real-world experience as a former Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), with a Master of Engineering from Queen’s University. Currently I’m completing a Certificate in Education to continue growing as a teacher and better support my students.
My goal is to help students build confidence and develop strong skills in Math, Science and the Trades through clear explanations and supportive instruction.
I offer online Math and Science tutoring for students in Edmonton, Waterloo Region, Ottawa and across Canada, with in-person sessions available in Waterloo. Let's meet soon!
