Michael Z.

Michael A. Zaucedo graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 2021. He grew up in Chicago, IL and attended a boarding High school at Lake Forest Academy in 2011. Michael grew up with a deep love for Science and Mathematics and took a study abroad opportunity in Costa Rica in the summer of 2018 to study an indigenous plant called Jatoba. During the summer of 2019, he discovered his passion for teaching and working with children when completing his teaching internship at High Jump Chicago as a teaching assistant (TA) for Chemistry––through teaching, he fostered his love for Chemistry and Mathematics. In his spare time, Michael works one-on-one with students ranging from middle through High School. He encouraged and supported the improvement of their Chemistry, and Mathematics skills ranging from Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus. As a mentor, Michael continues to develop strategies for working with students and believes that building strong relationships will grow their learning and help guide them to reach their full potential toward being a well rounded student. Michael enjoys playing sports like baseball, basketball and football, watching suspense movies, as well as spending time with his family and friends.

Carol K.

Carol Kato graduated from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, with a double major in Psychology and Diversity Studies. During her time in school, she worked as a tutor and mentor to grade school children aged 4 to 13. Carol has a passion for understanding how the human brain develops, which has sparked her interest in how children retain information through play and storytelling. She has worked with children from diverse backgrounds and cultures and speaks three languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Carol knows that many children struggle with certain subjects not because they are incapable of understanding the information, but because that information sometimes needs to be broken down step by step, in a playful manner, to improve memory retention and understanding.

In addition to her work with children, Carol loves shopping, traveling, eating, drinking tea, and spending time with her friends and family. Her family consists of her husband, their 3-year-old son, and their beloved dogs, Tina and Brady.

Kyle W.

Kyle is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Texas at San Antonio and is planning to advance his studies with a Master’s degree at UTSA, where he aims to focus on Cloud Computing and AI research. With a strong foundation in teaching, Kyle has experience tutoring college-level math including Statistics, Algebra, Precalculus, and Calculus 1. Additionally, he supports students in Computer Science, sharing his skills and love for web development and proficiency in languages like C, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Python.

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!
