YASHAR E-I.

Yashar has over 10 years of experience tutoring all sciences and math courses under the Ontario curriculum to students from Gr. 9-12. He grew up in Richmond Hill, pursuing an undergraduate honours degree in Chemistry from York University. His passion for learning chemistry during his undergraduate career led him to pursue a Master of Science degree in Atmospheric Chemistry, from which he graduated in March 2025. As a graduate student, Yashar was a teaching assistant (i.e., marker and led tutorials and labs) for over 300 students in first-, second-, and third-year undergraduate chemistry courses, including Introduction to Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Advanced Analytical Chemistry. His research was sponsored internationally by NASA and NOAA, where he spent several months as a research-exchange student at NOAA headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. Yashar learned early during his educational career that the best method to master any material was to teach it to his peers and colleagues, developing a passion for teaching and mentoring students to achieve their academic goals. After teaching more than 60 high school students as a tutor, Yashar has developed a strong sense of various teaching styles for his students, ensuring that high school students gain the confidence they need to pursue their academic goals. Apart from tutoring science and math to students, Yash enjoys being a mentor to many of his students, guiding them to pursue their own undergraduate careers in STEM fields.

Jonah P-B

FR: Jonah étudie présentement en génie aérospatial à l’École Polytechnique de Montréal. Avant cela, il a étudié en sciences de la santé au collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. Il a des connaissances approfondies des programmes de physique et de mathématique du secondaire au CÉGEP que ce soit l’algèbre, le calcul différentiel et intégral, la statique ou la mécanique.

Parmi, ses expériences précédentes, il a fait du tutorat pour ses pairs à partir du secondaire, où il les a aidé dans les matières plus difficiles pour eux. Il a aussi de l’expérience en éducation spécialisé, ce qui lui a permis de développer sa patience et sa douceur.

Sa méthode d’enseignement est centrée sur la compréhension des besoins individuels de chaque étudiant et il essaye de rendre des problèmes complexes plus accessibles avec des explications claires et des exemples concrets.

ENG: Jonah is an aerospace engineering student at Polytechnique Montreal. He attended CEGEP at Brebeuf where he studied health sciences. He has in-depth knowledge of the maths and physics curriculums from high school up to CEGEP from algebra and calculus to statics and mechanics.

His previous experiences include peer tutoring both at High School and CEGEP, where he helped his peers excel in areas in which they were lacking.

His tutoring philosophy is centered on understanding the individual learning needs of students and making complex concepts relatable with easily understandable explanations that relate to concrete situations.

Marcus M.

Marcus has a Master’s degree in Physics from McGill University, and a Bachelor’s degree with Honours in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Victoria. Marcus has a wide variety of experience as a Teaching Assistant in 100 to 500 level Physics courses at McGill, and an extensive higher level Math education (including upper level Calculus and Linear Algebra). Through his research experience at McGill, Marcus also has a variety of computational skills, including extensive experience programming in Python. Marcus can offer advice on what an academic path in science might look like as a career, particularly in Physics and Astronomy.

With plans to obtain further credentials in the education sector, Marcus hopes to become a secondary school instructor. He believes that any concept can be understood when working to break complex ideas down into their fundamental building blocks. He has experience working with children aged 5-14 through STEM based Summer Camps, and has found there is nothing more gratifying than seeing someone come to understand a concept they were having difficulty with.

Augustin P.

Augustin is a recent graduate (with distinction) from Concordia University with a Bachelor of Science in Honours Psychology. After completing his honours thesis on the neurobiology of opioid addiction, he is eager to apply his knowledge and passion for science through teaching.

He is passionate about an interdisciplinary approach to science and research. In the past he has worked as a personal tutor for students with learning difficulties (SEGPA) at the Externat des Enfants Nantais high school (EDEN) in France. Having studied in three different school systems and lived in multiple countries he understands diverse perspectives, teaching styles. He also recognizes the challenges that come with learning in a second language.

His approach to teaching is focused on nourishing curiosity, imagination and intrinsic interest in the student. He sees that difficulty can often arise from the apparent dryness and irrelevance of concepts that students begin to be confronted with at the end of high school and CEGEP. He emphasizes the logic behind equations and methods rather than focusing on memorization. With the emphasis he places on linking knowledge across classes he aims to foster an understanding of science as a unified discipline. This approach not only facilitates learning and memorization but also helps reduce workload.

He is fully fluent in both French and English, proactive and committed to offering different perspectives that enhance course content and student engagement.
