Tracey K.

Hello! My name is Tracey and I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential. I am currently in my final year of the Concurrent Bachelor of Education (BEd) program at York University, specializing in Primary/Junior Education (Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6). I also hold an Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, which has given me a deep understanding of how children learn and develop. This knowledge allows me to apply psychological principles to teaching, ensuring that each child receives individualized strategies that suit their learning style.
In addition to my studies, I work as a supply teacher and have extensive experience tutoring students in a variety of subjects. I am confident in teaching all subjects from JK to Grade 6, with a particular specialization in French. Having attended a French school my entire life and currently supplying in French classrooms, I bring a strong foundation in language learning and can help students develop both their written and oral French skills with confidence.
I believe that every child learns differently, and my background in psychology helps me identify their unique strengths while addressing areas that need improvement. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, meaningful, and tailored to each student’s needs.
Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I am committed to helping them build confidence, improve their skills, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
