Madeline B.

Madeline has been tutoring mathematics since she was in high school. She graduated from University of Idaho in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and has been working in academic intervention at the secondary level since then. She believes the “Eureka!” moments students have when they finally understand something are the most beautiful and magical thing in the world. She believes it is important to treat students as the multi-faceted individuals they are, spiral in old material when teaching the new, and try new approaches if a student does not understand something. Madeline attends game nights every Sunday, book club every Wednesday, and paints when she can find the time.

Bianca B.

Bianca is a third year Concurrent Education student majoring in mathematics at Queen’s University, Kingston where she has been on the Dean’s Honour List for three consecutive years. In 2022, she graduated high school from Bayview Glen Independent School with recognition and awards in French. During her time at Bayview Glen, she tutored many individuals in math as well as the French language. She broke down topics which made it easier for the students to understand. Her teaching journey includes a shadow experience at Bayview Glen Independent School and a current practicum at Annunciation Catholic School, where she supports small group learning, helps with lessons, and assists in day-to-day classroom routines.

Bianca is extremely determined and passionate about helping students succeed. Having struggled with math herself, she understands how frustrating it can be to have trouble grasping a concept—and she knows what it takes to overcome those challenges. She believes that success comes from asking multiple questions, practicing consistently, and not giving up on yourself. For her, repetition and determination are the key ingredients to real progress and confidence in math.

During her free time, Bianca enjoys reading, listening to music and playing basketball.

Ajit P.

For Ajit, teaching runs in the family. His grandparents on both sides were accomplished educators, teaching in both grade schools and universities. Ajit got his first taste of tutoring by helping his younger sister with math in high school. While earning his PhD in Chemical Engineering at LSU, he taught classes and tutored undergraduate students. During his successful 25-year career at ExxonMobil, he honed his ability to explain complex ideas to broad audiences by leading workshops and teaching sessions for engineers and managers.

An avid nature lover, Ajit has hiked in the Himalayas and throughout the U.S., with the Smoky Mountains being a favorite for him and his family. In his spare time, he enjoys classical music, playing chess, and reading. Ajit is looking forward to inspiring students to discover how understanding math and science can be both fun and deeply rewarding.

ADISVARA A.

Adisvara A. is a graduate student in the Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics program at Toronto Metropolitan University. Originally from Coimbatore, India, Adisvara completed his undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering, where he first discovered his passion for teaching. Throughout his undergraduate studies, he tutored high school students in math, physics, chemistry, and computer science, helping them build confidence and develop strong foundations in STEM subjects.

During his graduate studies in Canada, Adisvara completed the CLT-100 course focused on teaching and learning strategies, and soon after became a Teaching Assistant for two advanced university-level courses—Graph Mining and Deep Learning. In these roles, he conducted lab classes, provided one-on-one student support, and developed and graded assignments. His experience as a TA has strengthened his ability to explain complex concepts in a simple, approachable way. Whether it’s using real-world analogies or building interactive dashboards, Adisvara ensures that each student connects with the subject in a meaningful way.

Adisvara believes that strong student–tutor relationships form the foundation of effective learning. He takes time to understand how each student learns best and tailors his sessions accordingly—always starting from the basics and building step- by-step. His students describe him as patient, creative, and highly engaging.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science and a Master’s degree in Quantitative and Computational Finance from Boston College, credentials that underscore his analytical expertise and academic rigor.

Sadiq began his teaching career in middle school classrooms, where he spent two years cultivating engaging, age-appropriate methods to spark interest in mathematics. He then transitioned to high school, dedicating four years to deepening students’ mathematical understanding and preparing them for advanced study. He has taught at the college and graduate levels for the past three years, specializing in algebra, pre-calculus, statistics, general mathematics, and business mathematics.

His teaching philosophy centers on fostering supportive, inclusive learning environments where students build confidence through clarity, encouragement, and tailored instruction. Known for his ability to break down complex mathematical concepts into digestible components, Sadiq bridges the gap between theory and practice by tying lessons to real-world applications — an approach informed by his professional financial analysis and quantitative modeling background.

Outside the classroom, Sadiq finds balance through long walks in nature, swimming sessions, challenging hikes in the mountains, and quiet evenings at home with his mischievous cat, proving that even the most analytical minds need passion and relaxation to thrive.

BRIANNA M.

Brianna is pursuing a Bachelors of Math and Education with a minor in French at the University of Lethbridge. Brianna excelled during her first practicum, receiving high marks and outstanding feedback. Including comments regarding a natural teaching ability, and a strong passion for teaching.

LIAM H-N.

Jaden A.

Jaden graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a minor in French. During her studies, she had the opportunity to work on research in a chemistry lab during a five-month study abroad in Strasbourg, France. Jaden has worked in teaching roles for children all her life, and she’s spent the last year teaching middle school science (6th-8th grade) at a K-12 school. She helped further develop the curricula and increased the emphasis on laboratory experiments each class, convicted to teach through hands-on experience. Whether she is teaching horseback riding or forces and work, Jaden believes that allowing students to forge their own way to understanding Nature’s laws helps them develop confidence and fires their curiosity.

AGNES S.

Agnes has a BSc from York University and has been tutoring for over 7 years in ELA, Physics, and Math for grades K-12.
