Alexander O.

ENG: Born and raised in Montreal, Alexander has firsthand experience with the Quebec curriculum. Fluent in English and French, he is most in his element tutoring high school and CEGEP students in math, physics, and music theory. Since 2018, Alexander has accrued teaching experience through peer tutoring, leading workshops in elementary and high schools, and providing online tutoring with elementary to college-aged students. Studying both classical music and pure and applied sciences at Vanier College (graduating on the dean’s honour list), he has mentored students in both disciplines. Alexander continued his studies at McGill University, where he was awarded many scholarships for academic excellence. While obtaining a bachelor’s degree in music performance, he also completed several courses in physics and minored in the German language. Though he spent much of his life pursuing music, Alexander’s first love was in math and sciences, and being related to several teachers he has always wanted to be an educator. In the fall of 2025 he returned to sciences at Concordia University, planning to complete degrees in physics and education and to teach science at the high school or CEGEP level.

FR: Né à Montréal, Alexander à de l’expérience personnelle avec le programme scolaire au Québec.Parlant couramment l’anglais et le français, il se spécialise dans le soutien scolaire auprès des étudiants au secondaire et au CEGEP. Depuis 2018, il a accumulé de l’expérience en tutorat en aidant ses camarades de classe, en s’engageant dans des ateliers avec des élèves d’école primaire et secondaire et en travaillant en ligne avec des étudiants du primaire jusqu’au CEGEP. Ayant été formé au Collège Vanier en musique et sciences naturelles, il a donc aidé des étudiants dans les deux disciplines. Alexander a poursuivi ses études à l’Université McGill, où il a accumulé plusieurs bourses pour son excellence académique. Pendant qu’il obtenait son baccalauréat en interprétation musicale, il a complété plusieurs cours de physique et a pris l’allemand comme matière seconde.Malgré qu’il se soit concentré pendant plusieurs années sur la musique, ses premières passions restent les mathématiques et les sciences. Ayant plusieurs proches qui enseignent, il a toujours voulu devenir professeur. En automne 2025, Alexander est retourné aux étudesen sciences à l’Université Concordia, visant à étudier la physique et l’éducation pour devenir enseignant au niveau secondaire ou collégial.

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.

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.
