KEVIN W.
BRANDON S.
Brandon received his Master’s Degree in Computational Physics at the University of Toronto in September of 2021 at the age of 22 and is currently interested in teaching and software development as future career paths.
As a Physics TA at the University of Toronto for over 3 years he has a strong understanding of the necessary skills high school students must develop in order to succeed in any of the STEM-based university programs. Not only was he a TA for Physics but he was also a part of the Physics club and Physics study groups. You could say he pretty much loves Physics.
His teaching experience began in 2016 as a swim and CPR instructor for the City of Toronto. He has since shifted away from aquatics and toward academics using the same style of teaching to suit both verbal and visual based learners. He hopes to curve the reputation of Physics and Math dependent topics as to not include ‘Difficult’, ‘Impossible’ or even ‘Nightmare’ as descriptors by making learning interesting and fun.
In addition to his interest in Physics he also has a passion for music (especially stringed instruments). He played lead electric guitar as part of his high school Motown band for 2 years and was an executive coordinator for the UTM Guitar Club.
Preeti D.
Preeti is a graduate student, nearly completing her Master’s of Science degree at York University. She has had extensive experience working as a Teaching Assistant, teaching undergraduate students in biology courses. For example, she taught laboratory skills and theory, and has also guest-lectured in Microbiology. During her time as a Teaching Assistant, she held office hours. During this time, she worked one-on-one or in a small group with her students to assist them on course material and assignments. She has also volunteered as a mentor with children ages 9-12 with Future Possibilities. At this program, she mentored children on completing a goal to help their community.
Preeti’s teaching philosophy is simple: she believes that there is no singular method to optimally teaching a student. Each person learns in their own way–as a result, she makes it her personal goal to tailor her methods to each specific student. Preeti also considers herself to be a lifelong learner, thoroughly enjoying education and working with students.
In her spare time, Preeti likes to cook vegan food, spend time with her cat Chase (and any other animal she meets), do needlepoint embroidery, and play video games. Right now, she prefers PC gaming to console gaming!
