Edwin D.
My name is Edwin, and I’m excited to support you in mastering Math and Science. I hold a doctorate in Chemistry from the University of Central Florida, along with graduate degrees in Education, giving me both deep technical expertise and a strong foundation in effective teaching. I have several years of experience tutoring students at both the high school and college levels, including AP Chemistry, general science, and SAT math, as well as advanced subjects like Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Biochemistry. As a former Graduate Teaching Assistant and current senior scientist, I bring real-world applications into every session, helping students not just memorize concepts but truly understand them. My teaching style focuses on clarity, patience, and building confidence. Whether you’re trying to improve your grades, prepare for SAT or an exam, or strengthen your foundation, I tailor each session to your goals and learning style. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy staying active through weightlifting, pickleball, and salsa dancing. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals and making science feel approachable and engaging along the way!

Ahmed A.
Ahmed is a PhD student in neuroscience at McGill University, where he also completed his master’s degree in neuroscience after finishing his undergraduate studies in biomedical science at the University of Ottawa. Over the course of his academic career, he has published in peer-reviewed journals, mentored undergraduate students, and tutored at both the secondary and post-secondary levels, with a focus on biology, physiology, biochemistry, research methodology, and psychology.
As a researcher, Ahmed spends a lot of time thinking about how to communicate science clearly and impactfully, and that naturally shapes how he tutors. He knows how intimidating dense material can feel, and he knows how to break it down without losing what makes it interesting. His approach is practical and student-centered: he figures out where you are, works from there, and focuses on building the kind of understanding that actually transfers, not just to the next test, but to the way you think about problems. He works on promoting critical thinking and tailoring the content to instill confidence and curiosity in the student. He firmly believes that learning can be fun for anyone if approached in the right way.
Outside of the lab and the classroom, Ahmed plays soccer, trains in kickboxing, reads, and hangs out with his cats.
Kristen B.
Kristen is a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) student in Psychology at Concordia University. She is fascinated by how people learn and think, and loves helping students tackle challenging concepts by finding strategies that make learning clear and manageable. Her studies in cognition, developmental psychology, and research methods enable her to make complex ideas accessible for students with diverse learning styles, allowing them to engage with the material more effectively.
Outside of school, Kristen has developed strong problem-solving skills through hands-on experience in the construction industry. This practical experience helps her break down challenging material into achievable steps, ensuring sessions stay focused and engaging. She has also mentored students, including foreign exchange learners, and guided groups in exploring historical and cultural topics. These experiences have strengthened her ability to connect with individuals, adapt her teaching to diverse needs, and foster a supportive learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions and explore new ideas.
Tutoring across the humanities and sciences, Kristen brings a patient, analytical, and encouraging approach to each session. She works with students to break down challenges, strengthen skills, and grow confidence, while nurturing curiosity, independent thinking, and a sense of autonomy in their learning. Kristen is passionate about creating a positive, inspiring learning environment that encourages students to grow both academically and personally.

Meghan P.
Meghan has an MA in History and a BA (double major) in Classics and International Development from McGill University. She is in the final stages of completing her PhD in History and Classics at Yale University. Meghan has published a number of articles in academic publications and presented her research at conferences around the world. She speaks three languages fluently (English, French, and Romanian) and works in several others (Italian, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek).
Meghan is a passionate teacher who believes that every student is capable of excellence. Her approach is characterized by empathy, patience, and kindness. With over 15 years of experience in higher education, Meghan is sympathetic to the pressures modern students face: difficulties in focus, wavering confidence, and the temptation of unethical AI use among others. Meghan has had particular success in motivating students who were especially shy, withdrawn, or otherwise on the margins of the classroom. Strategies for how to bring such a student back into the fold differ on an individual basis but are always couched in mutual respect and understanding. Frequently, students who may have been struggling the most at the beginning of the term—be it with meeting deadlines, quality of work, or something else—became some of Meghan’s strongest and most self-motivated students by the end of the academic year.
Areas of Expertise: Reading, Writing, and Critical Analysis (all levels); History (all levels); Latin; Ancient Greek; Biology (K-12); Homework Help (English: K-12; French: K-6).
