Paula Tsoi-A-Sue
With over 8 years of instructional experience, Paula believes that the key to successful learning lies in nurturing students' confidence in their own abilities. Too often, math is presented without shining a light on the everyday intuitions that form its foundation. Paula strives to help students see beyond the process to the underlying concepts. She takes a measured approach, assessing where students are and helping them connect the dots to tackle new topics with confidence.
In her personal life, Paula channels this same passion for discovery and challenge into her hobbies. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities like escape rooms and board games, and physically demanding ones such as indoor bouldering, Paula sharpens the skills that she advocates in her professional life. She also balances her time by savoring the simpler pleasures of life, like hiking and sharing good food with friends, underpinning her belief that a well-rounded life contributes to effective teaching.
Paula’s ultimate goal as an educator is to kindle a lifelong passion for learning in her students. More than just imparting mathematical formulas, Paula is committed to cultivating a problem-solving mindset in her students, instilling the confidence to embark on their mathematical journey. Through her teaching, Paula strives to create an environment that not only fosters academic growth but also inspires a genuine curiosity and love for learning.
