BEN B.

Ben is currently finishing his last year of a degree in computer engineering at Queen’s University. He is well versed in mathematics, computer programing, and the sciences. Having studied and worked with high-level calculus, he is well positioned to teach at the high-school level.

Projects include the implementation of machine-learning algorithms in data analytics, video-game development, and web design. Ben has advanced computer-programming skills and excellent working knowledge of mathematical algorithms. A few of the languages he is proficient in are (but not limited to): Java, Python, C, C++, SQL, and HTML/CSS.

Regular teamwork has shown Ben a myriad of different learning approaches. He has seen that each person learns differently, and that material must be delivered in a way that is intuitive for every individual.

With experience as a badminton assistant coach and camp counselor, Ben is skilled at instructing children of all ages. He recognizes that engaging students’ interest is essential to their absorption of the subject matter, whether sports or science. Ben’s goal for each student is that they take pride in their ability to learn and the resulting confidence.

Rupak H.

Having grown in his career over the years, Rupak has amassed a whole plethora of techniques and strategies in teaching Math and Physics that his students find invaluable.

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!
