Isabella M.
Isabella is a third-year medical student at the Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine and a Master of Healthcare Administration candidate at Dartmouth College. She has a natural love for teaching and has tutored students of all ages, from elementary school through college. Isabella was chosen by her medical school faculty as a peer tutor, where she became known for her ability to turn complicated topics into clear, manageable steps (and sometimes even fun!). She believes learning should feel empowering, not intimidating, and focuses on helping students gain confidence as much as knowledge. When she’s not studying or tutoring, Isabella enjoys testing out new recipes, planning her wedding, and spending time with her two cats—who like to “help” by sitting on open books and laptops.

James C.
James is a teacher who can teach in British Columbia, California and Ontario. He grew up in northern BC and completed post-secondary studies in Alberta and Ontario before going to California to start his career. He has taught students from Gr. 6 to post-secondary (mostly in the STEM subjects from Computer Studies to Calculus to Chemistry and Physics). Outdoor education was always in the mix from running an outdoor programme for a school board to teaching skiing and white-water kayaking. He was selected to create and review online Physics and Chemistry for both Ontario high schools and later within the Ontario College system; these experiences deepened his understanding of barriers to success in students who had already experienced frustration in math or science. Empowering students to move from discouragement to a growth mindset has been the fulfilling part of his career. A move to Squamish after 30 years of teaching has expanded outdoor adventures but he still longs to help students take on challenges and to also find some fun in the work.
