Steven O.

Sometimes in life the good lord lets you go 360 degrees, then brings you back where you belong. My dad successful businessman laid a great foundation for me to follow in his footsteps. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, I ended up stopping at the catholic chancery seeing a hiring teachers sign. This is where I began my teaching career. 25 years later I retired from San Antonio college loving every minute of teaching. My engaging personality is one of the keys to my success. The other was a fierce loyalty to my students and their success. Helping students is where I needed to be, and it is where I want to be.

SOPHIE W.

Hi! My name is Sophie and I am currently in the first year of the BEd at York. I have over five years of experience in personalized, high-quality tutoring. My primary focus is on math, and I am very passionate about helping students develop their mathematical intuition, thinking, proficiency, and (importantly!) confidence. I also tutor other subjects, especially writing-based courses, and I find it very meaningful to work with students on the crucial skills of on argumentation, articulation, and research. In my free time I love to paint for relaxation and creativity, even though I have never had any formal training/great skill. I mention this because I feel strongly that everyone should feel comfortable and confident to pursue their interests even if they don’t feel like they have the “natural skill”, and I bring that philosophy to my teaching.
