Marcus M.
Marcus has a Master’s degree in Physics from McGill University, and a Bachelor’s degree with Honours in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Victoria. Marcus has a wide variety of experience as a Teaching Assistant in 100 to 500 level Physics courses at McGill, and an extensive higher level Math education (including upper level Calculus and Linear Algebra). Through his research experience at McGill, Marcus also has a variety of computational skills, including extensive experience programming in Python. Marcus can offer advice on what an academic path in science might look like as a career, particularly in Physics and Astronomy.
With plans to obtain further credentials in the education sector, Marcus hopes to become a secondary school instructor. He believes that any concept can be understood when working to break complex ideas down into their fundamental building blocks. He has experience working with children aged 5-14 through STEM based Summer Camps, and has found there is nothing more gratifying than seeing someone come to understand a concept they were having difficulty with.
Anthony P.
Anthony has his Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from McGill university and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning at McGill University to become a high school math teacher. He has always loved being in a classroom environment and has a passion for teaching people things he has learnt. He has a strong knowledge of math and computer science at the undergraduate level and physics and chemistry at the high school level. He is a great communicator, very patient and passionate about the subjects he teaches. He encourages students to develop metacognitive (control and recognition of one’s thoughts) skills to enhance their problem-solving capabilities as well as their determination and motivation.

Testimonials
“Just wanted to send a quick message letting you know that my daughter is flying through homework and tells me that Ali has ‘changed her life this week’. :) Thanks Ali. My daughter is looking forward to the next session.” – parent, math student
Kaitlyn G.
Kaitlyn attended high school level at the Study School, college level at Dawson in Pure & Applied Science (also took the Health Science courses, anatomy, organic Chemistry, etc. ), and university level at Concordia in Civil Engineering. While she has an affinity towards math, science, and physics, most subjects were enjoyed at some point! Kaitlyn can help generally with homework and understanding, but is also very helpful with test and exam preparation.
Fernando L.
Fernando has a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics and a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Calgary. He has been tutoring since 2010, specializing in grade 9 to first-year university math, physics, and chemistry. Fernando’s approach to teaching is to make a personal connection with students and to teach topics with passion while relating the concepts, skills, and material learned in these subjects to real world applications and usage. His favourite subject to tutor is Calculus and he has experience teaching all types of students.
