Skyler S.

Skyler built his expertise through rigorous independent study of technology and related disciplines, driven by an unwavering passion for his students. He stands at the forefront of system design and mentorship, guiding children, post-secondary students, and professionals with precision and impact. As Professor at Fanshawe College he advanced knowledge transfer, curriculum development, and student achievements. His knowledge of language, history, mathematics, the sciences, psychology, philosophy, and Computer Science equips him to see potential and cultivate the students’ confidence.

From an early age he built a strong background in engineering and computer hardware, massively multiplayer game development, computer networking, and advanced software development. That foundation is a distinguished multidisciplinary career across the federal government (Assistant Commissioner’s Award of Excellence for Creativity and Innovative Development), a provincial school board, and a leading U.S. financial technology firm, where he consistently shaped high-performing teams through mentorship.

Furthering his commitment to learning he leads the organization Work It In (workitin.org), whose mission is clear: education draws out potential and their goals. In his free time he plays guitar, paints, hikes, and 4-season camps with his adorable (at times goofy) Golden Retriever/Lab mix named Orion, fully at home with nature (particularly on a serene lake in a canoe)!

BLAYNE S.

Hi there! My name is Blayne as a dedicated educator in Ontario, my teaching philosophy is rooted in a simple truth: every student can succeed when given the right support, environment, and tools. Whether your child needs help boosting their academic confidence, mastering key concepts, or finding the joy in learning again, I am here to guide them every step of the way.

My Educational Approach

My practice is deeply grounded in core Ontario educational frameworks:

Learning for All: I recognize that every learner is unique. I customize my tutoring sessions using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and differentiated instruction, ensuring lessons are accessible, engaging, and tailored to your child’s individual strengths and learning style.

Growing Success: Assessment is not just about giving grades. To me, it is about supporting growth. I focus on clear, actionable feedback, self-assessment, and continuous improvement, helping students develop metacognitive skills and strong learning habits that last a lifetime. A feedback loop between student, teacher and parent/guardian is of utmost importance to me to ensure the success of every student I work with.

Ontario Curriculum Alignment: I ensure all tutoring content directly supports the expectations of the Ontario curriculum, helping students stay ahead in the classroom and feel prepared for school assessments.

Continuous Growth & Inclusive Education

Education is a lifelong journey. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Industries from Toronto Metropolitan University and Bachelor of Educations with a Primary/Junior focus from Lakehead University. I recently completed Part 1 of Instrumental Music Additional Qualification with the Oscar Peterson School of Music (Formerly The Royal Conservatory of Music). By September 2026, I will have completed my First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Studies (Intermediate) Additional Basic Qualification (ABQ) course through York University. This training enhances my ability to bring inclusive, culturally responsive, and diverse perspectives into my teaching practice, fostering a supportive space where all students feel valued and understood. I am OCT certified and currently hold a Music Teaching Position with the Toronto District School Board.

Beyond the Classroom

Outside of teaching and tutoring, I love staying creative and active:

Creative & Digital: In my spare time, I write music and design and play video games. These passions often help me connect with students and make learning interactive.

Active Living: You can find me playing pickup and organized basketball, cooking up new recipes, or biking around the city.

Let’s Connect!

I would love to partner with you to support your child’s academic journey.

Ryan started his teaching journey at the age of 16 as a camp counsellor, helping campers learn the basics of canoeing, rock climbing, archery, and woodworking!

Ryan has been professionally tutoring students at both the university and high school level since 2023 focussing primarily on first year engineering students. Ryan’s most tutored subject is computer science, probably because he got a perfect 100% in first year CS, but also has plenty of experience teaching business, physics and math courses. Ryan has always enjoyed teaching youth and young adults and feels a lot of pride watching them grow along their academic journeys.
