Augustin P.

Augustin is a recent graduate (with distinction) from Concordia University with a Bachelor of Science in Honours Psychology. After completing his honours thesis on the neurobiology of opioid addiction, he is eager to apply his knowledge and passion for science through teaching.

He is passionate about an interdisciplinary approach to science and research. In the past he has worked as a personal tutor for students with learning difficulties (SEGPA) at the Externat des Enfants Nantais high school (EDEN) in France. Having studied in three different school systems and lived in multiple countries he understands diverse perspectives, teaching styles. He also recognizes the challenges that come with learning in a second language.

His approach to teaching is focused on nourishing curiosity, imagination and intrinsic interest in the student. He sees that difficulty can often arise from the apparent dryness and irrelevance of concepts that students begin to be confronted with at the end of high school and CEGEP. He emphasizes the logic behind equations and methods rather than focusing on memorization. With the emphasis he places on linking knowledge across classes he aims to foster an understanding of science as a unified discipline. This approach not only facilitates learning and memorization but also helps reduce workload.

He is fully fluent in both French and English, proactive and committed to offering different perspectives that enhance course content and student engagement.

Paul C.

Paul C. is located in Kitsilano where he is currently in the last semester of his postgraduate program for a Bachelor of Education through Vancouver Island University. Paul first attended the University of Victoria, where he obtained a BSc in Biopsychology, a derivative of neuroscience. After finishing his first degree and travelling, Paul realized his passion for education and helping others is what he valued most. His combined degree has provided the opportunity to understand a wide range of topics. He is able to tutor in Chemistry, Physics, Math, Biology, Socials and English. During university, Paul also wrote for his school’s newspaper, where he developed his writing style and grammatical skills. For the past three years, Paul has been tutoring for individuals and groups, covering a wide range of subjects and ages. From his experience, he has found his teaching philosophy isn’t static, believing every student has their own learning needs and it is the responsibility of the teacher to cater to the student’s learning styles. He notes that a combination of enactive and vicarious learning has proven most effective for a student to build confidence and understanding. A foundation of his tutoring is based on developing the transferable studying and learning skills, so the students will be able to implement their skills to other subjects and outside of the classroom.
