Antonio V.

I am Antonio, a Physics graduate with a Computer Science minor and extensive experience tutoring students from elementary school through college. I specialize in making complex ideas feel clear, intuitive, and—most importantly—approachable. Whether we’re working through calculus, physics, programming, or exam prep, my goal is always the same: real understanding, not memorization.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where I completed advanced coursework in Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Nanophotonics, Data Structures, and Computational Science. Alongside my academic training, I’ve been deeply involved in scientific research, including work as a Department of Energy Research Intern at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where I focused on computational physics, machine learning, network theory, and protein modeling using Python, R, and high-performance computing systems.
My teaching experience spans years of one-on-one and group tutoring in math (from pre-algebra through differential equations), physics (including AP Physics), computer programming, and data analysis. I’ve also served as a MATLAB Tutor and a Thermal Physics Reader/Grader at UTSA, helping students debug code, interpret data, and build confidence in technically demanding courses.
What students tend to appreciate most is my patience and adaptability. I adjust my explanations to how you think, breaking problems down step by step while keeping sight of the bigger picture. If you’re looking for a tutor who combines strong academic credentials, real research experience, and a genuinely supportive teaching style, I’d be glad to work with you.

Rebecca M.

Becca is currently completing her Bachelor of Education at Ontario Tech University and has gained hands-on field experience working as an Educational Assistant and an Emergency Supply Teacher. Through teaching, Becca has fostered a love of science, and during the summer months she can often be found at camp encouraging children to explore science through interactive, hands-on experiences. Initially from Angus, Ontario, Becca moved to Sudbury to complete an undergraduate degree in Physical and Health Education, with a specialization in Health Promotion. Growing up, Becca loved playing sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball) and going on adventures (hiking, paddleboarding, camping), which helped shape her passion for health, movement, and the outdoors. After working in a variety of childcare settings for over 10 years—including camps, schools, and daycares—she discovered a strong passion for teaching and working with children & teenagers. In her spare time, Becca works one-on-one with students from four years old through high school, supporting the development of their reading, writing, vocabulary, and math skills. She believes that building strong, positive relationships with students is key to meeting their individual needs and supporting meaningful learning. As a mentor, Becca continues to develop effective strategies for working with children and finds these experiences both enjoyable and extremely rewarding. Outside of teaching, she loves going to the gym, spending time outdoors, playing sports, and making memories with family, friends, and her dog, Ceilidh.

Fatima S.

Fatima is an experienced tutor with nearly five years of teaching experience, working both privately and with established tutoring organizations. She specializes in Science and Math, supporting primarily middle and high school students in General Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics up to Grade 12, including Advanced Functions and Calculus. Fatima has a strong track record of helping students significantly improve their grades and confidence by breaking down complex concepts into clear, step-by-step explanations and reinforcing learning through targeted practice. She supports students with homework, test preparation, and exam review, while also helping younger students build a strong academic foundation for long-term success. Fatima is particularly passionate about biology and enjoys mentoring students, developing positive relationships that make tutoring sessions something students look forward to. She finds the most reward in seeing her students gain confidence, understand challenging material, and succeed in the classroom.

 

Eddy V.

Eduardo “Eddy” V. is a passionate educator with a B.S. in Physics with a Minor in Mathematics from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. With over 5 years of teaching in the classroom across all subjects in science (including Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), Eddy is a powerhouse of rigor and foundational teaching. Eddy’s love of teaching comes from a young age, being a leader, and showing everyone the way. Throughout College he would hold his own tutoring sessions in his University physics course where other students would struggle. Now he teaches over 100+ students AP Physics and Biology, and he enjoys time with his cats.

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).

Kevin B.

Kevin is a retired, still passionate teacher. Kevin earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from Brock and York Universities. His dissertation focused on the proximate and ultimate causes of adoption behaviour in birds. Upon graduation, as a Research Associate, Dr. Brown joined Cornell University where he planned and conducted a five-year research program concerning birds and aircraft in the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge – J.F. Kennedy Airport complex in New York City. His research activities with birds on Lake Erie and Jamaica Bay led to 15 publications in peer-reviewed journals and numerous conference presentations across North America and Europe. In 2000 Kevin returned to Brock University, as an Assistant Professor, where he taught courses in ecology, conservation and environment. After four-year contracts, Kevin secured a permanent job at a private high school in Ontario where he taught grades 11 and 12 math and biology to student-athletes as well as coached the varsity wrestling team; certified Level 1 under the Canadian Coaching Certification Program.
Continuing his passion to teach and to mentor student-athletes, Kevin has been tutoring student-athletes one-on-one, small groups and online. He strives to help students develop learning strategies that will lead to success both inside and outside of the classroom while fostering the development of self-discipline, self-regulation and leadership skills in young adults. Outside of teaching math and coaching wrestling, Kevin is husband to wife Donna of 38 years; they reside in the Niagara area. Kevin and Donna have four grown children together all of whom have graduated university and work either in the health care industry or recreation and leisure. His hobbies include golf, canoeing and gardening. Given his prior experience teaching and mentoring youth, Kevin will quickly become a valued member of faculty at Prep Academy Tutors.
