BROOKE A.

Brooke is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Secondary Mathematics with a French Specialization at St. Mary’s University.

Brooke’s passion for tutoring began in junior high, when she started helping classmates during lunch and after school. She continued tutoring throughout high school and university, accumulating over eight years of experience supporting students in Grades 7-12 in math, science, and French. She considers tutoring to be her favourite professional experience and reflecting on her time tutoring ultimately inspired her to transition from a career in manufacturing to pursue teaching.

Brooke also spent five years working in out-of-school care and summer camps with K-6 students. In this setting, she especially enjoyed engaging students in reading and storytelling, and fostering their natural curiosity for the world around them through science.

Brooke believes that every student can develop competence and confidence in any subject. As a tutor, her goal is to be attentive to each student’s unique needs and adapt her approach to use the most effective and engaging methods to support their success. She aims to create an environment where students are comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, viewing these as opportunities to deepen their understanding and sharpen their problem-solving skills.

JEFF M.

Jeff has a PhD in philosophy and has taught as a university instructor for over a decade. He started teaching at 16, as a snowboard instructor, and quickly discovered he has passion for human connection and contributing to the development of others. All of his work experience since has been with youth and young adults in various learning contexts, like running summer camps, and teaching English in Japan. Jeff believes real learning is life-changing, and is convinced that the question “why?”–even, and sometimes especially, when it is asked in the form, “why do I have to do this?”–is a powerful route to this kind of meaningful change. Jeff hasn’t only studied a lot, he’s experienced a lot, too: at 17, he left home to study abroad; he’s lived in eight cities in four countries, and travelled to over 30; he’s studied four languages in addition to the French and English he grew up speaking; and he’s made all kinds of connection throughout. This capacity for connection makes Jeff particularly alive to the lived experience and uniqueness of his students, giving him a distinctive human touch. He is currently studying to become a psychotherapist.
