Hi, I'm Trudy Field.  I have a Bachelor of Environmental Chemistry degree from the University of Waterloo.  I love to make teaching fun.  Students learn best when learning is fun. I like to make the class interactive and entertaining.

I have always loved to teach and coach people.  I love those a-ha moments when someone learns something new and experiences the happiness in knowing a skill has been mastered.

I like to tutor chemistry, physics, biology, and math courses at a junior high and high school level.  I like to teach fun parts about these subjects and the fundamentals that would help a student understand parts of high school courses.  I have tutored many high school students.

Coaching figure skating has been a passion of mine for over twenty years.  I like to figure out how people learn and to interact with different personalities.  

I believe students learn best when taught in a fun way.  I like to allow a bit of autonomy in a class.  While coaching skating, I offer choices of what we'll learn next - like spins or jumps.  We'll inevitably cover both during that session or by the next session.  I like to try to be fun in class and  will allow a little bit of fun after setting guidelines to ensure learning is still the priority.

A fun project I did this winter was build a backyard skating rink!  I did it through stomping the snow and then flooding the backyard with water.  My son and I rigged up a simple flooding machine too!
