Geneviève N-R.

Geneviève is a recent graduate in Biochemical Engineering from Queen’s University. Throughout her undergrad, she was a chemistry tutor teaching students one-on-one, in small groups, and in lecture halls of over 150 students for pre-exam workshops. She also worked as a Chemistry TA, teaching in-person and online tutorial sessions to classrooms of students to review the professor’s weekly lecture material with lessons, assignments, and quizzes she prepared. As an instructor for the University of Toronto’s Jr DEEP Program, she gained experience teaching elementary and middle school-aged students, having developed and taught a weeklong curriculum of biomedical engineering-related lessons to groups throughout the summer. Finally, she has ski instructed students aged 6 to 21 for the past eight winters with Snowhawks Ski & Snowboard School in Ontario. In her spare time, Geneviève is a rock climber, backcountry skier, dabbles in alpinism, and volunteers at the Squamish Foodbank.

Geneviève has always enjoyed the teaching process of breaking down tricky concepts in fun, easy to remember ways, and strives for that “aha” moment in a student’s eyes when you can tell they’ve developed an understanding for a new concept. Also, she is informed in teaching students with different learning styles and/or neurodivergence. So, whether it be in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Math, English, or French, Geneviève looks forward to working with your family to offer extra support or enrichment in your student’s learning!
