When she decided to pursue teaching as a career, Megan moved back home to teach in her hometown and begin a family. Through teaching, Megan has been able to foster her love of Math and reading. During the summer months, Megan enjoys teaching summer school (which encourages all children to enjoy learning through interactive, consistent, and hands-on experiences), reading, camping, and spending time with her family and friends. Megan is beginning to work one-on-one with children from 6 years old through middle school in her spare time who struggle with behavior, as well as helping support them by improving their reading, writing, vocabulary, and math skills. Megan believes that by building a solid relationship with her students, she can better meet their needs and grow their learning. As a mentor, Megan continues to develop strategies for working with children. She finds these experiences enjoyable and extremely rewarding.

Michael S.

After working with hundreds of students, Michael understands that struggles with math and science are incredibly common—and that students are not alone. Often, classroom teachers don’t have the time to adapt to every student’s unique learning style. That’s where Michael steps in: he works closely with each student to find the approach that makes the most sense for them. His past students have gone from being frustrated by a single problem all day to breezing through it with just a small shift in perspective.

Michael’s teaching experience spans a wide range of settings, from one-on-one tutoring in high school to leading review sessions for hundreds of college students. He was even selected as the pedagogy fellow in his graduate program, responsible for preparing incoming graduate students to teach—an honor that reflects both deep content knowledge and outstanding instructional skill. This high-level perspective on effective teaching methods enables Michael to bring exceptional flexibility and responsiveness to his tutoring sessions.

In terms of subject expertise, Michael brings thousands of hours of experience, including 11 years of tutoring, 7 years as a teaching assistant, 2 years of instructing college courses, and both a PhD and a BS in Physics, along with an undergraduate minor in Mathematics. With this foundation, he is confident in his ability to work through any course material alongside his students.

Michael’s tutoring journey began in high school, when he noticed that many of his peers didn’t know where to turn for academic support. This inspired him to explore Universal Design for Learning—an approach that emphasizes presenting content in multiple formats to meet different learning styles. Since then, he has supported college students in tutoring centers, led supplementary instruction sessions, and taught lecture and lab courses at the university level. Michael creates a learning environment where students feel safe to ask questions, engage deeply in discussions, and leave sessions empowered to apply their learning in the real world. He brings this wealth of experience to every tutoring session to help students get exactly what they need from their education.

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.

Sadiq S.

Sadiq S. is a passionate mathematics educator with over nine years of experience teaching at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels. 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.

Eduardo R.

Eduardo is an experienced and versatile tutor who brings both academic depth and real-world insight to every session. With an Honours BA in Economics from Brock University (where he graduated first in his class), a Master’s from Western University, and doctoral-level coursework at McGill, he has supported students across a wide range of subjects—including economics, business, accounting, mathematics (from algebra to calculus), and Spanish, his native language. He’s worked with learners from high school through to the master’s level, always adapting his approach to meet students needs and understanding where they are in their learning journey.

Over the years, Eduardo has served as a teaching assistant and lecturer at Brock, Western, and McGill, and currently works as a Manager in EY Canada’s Economic Advisory group. His teaching philosophy emphasizes clarity, curiosity, and critical thinking—encouraging students to explore the deeper meaning behind concepts and understand how ideas connect across disciplines.
