He joined Firefly Tutors in February 2023 and has since significantly impacted his students' learning journeys.
Tai's impressive tutoring expertise covers many subjects, including English, Government, History, Geometry, Algebra, and Physics. What he loves most about tutoring is teaching students to think critically beyond just memorizing facts for exams.
His proudest moments as a tutor stem from his belief in never giving up and the strength that comes from tenacity. He encourages his students to cultivate inquisitive minds, emphasizing that they are far more valuable than rote memorization.
