Dominique Jan Tan

Hi, I am Dominique Jan! I am a licensed Chemical Engineer in the Philippines. I earned my Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from the top university in my country, and I am planning to pursue a doctorate degree abroad. I intend to pursue a formal academic or research career after graduate school. As of the time being, I am doing part-time job in various online tutoring sites for eight years now, and I am not slowing down in it. I enjoy teaching very much. I am thrilled at the feeling that students learn and understand concepts because of you. My style is to first ask my students how much they understand about the lesson so I can know how exactly I can help them. I walk them through the process of problem solving, and let them do the problem on their own eventually. I ask questions to check their understanding along the way, and I give them praise and encouragement to keep up their awesome job. I guide my students patiently so they can eventually learn difficult concepts themselves and much more see how they are relevant to life. My passion as a tutor had given me opportunity to be recognized as the top tutor of the year in two straight years in 2021 and 2022 by a US-based tutoring site I have been connected with for quite a long time already. At days when I do not teach or tutor, I volunteer to help in our church ministries. Also, taking road trips especially during sunset time is usually my refreshment after a long busy day.
