Marah A-D.

ENG:

Marah is a McGill University graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and eight years of tutoring experience. She offers support in mathematics and science subjects, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, Physics, and general Science, helping students strengthen their understanding and improve performance.

Her tutoring career began at John Abbott College where professors recognized her academic excellence and recommended her to assist other students. She was later officially hired by the college to tutor math, chemistry, and physics, gaining two years of daily hands-on experience with students. Since then, she has continued tutoring independently, working with learners across different academic levels and consistently receiving very positive feedback.

Marah is known for her clarity, patience, and ability to explain difficult concepts in simple, practical ways. She tailors her teaching to each student’s learning style and uses multiple approaches to ensure every topic is fully understood. She also shares effective study techniques, memorization tools, and problem-solving strategies that not only improve grades but also build confidence and independence.

Passionate about education, Marah believes learning should be both motivating and rewarding. She creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, develop stronger study habits, and reach their academic goals. Marah is committed to creating tailored work plans that maximize productivity and understanding, helping every student reach their potential.

FR:

Marah est diplômée en génie électrique de l’Université McGill et possède plus de huit années d’expérience professionnelle en tutorat. Elle offre un accompagnement en mathématiques et en sciences, notamment en calcul différentiel et intégral, algèbre linéaire, physique et sciences générales, afin d’aider les élèves à consolider leurs connaissances et à améliorer leurs résultats scolaires.

Sa carrière de tutrice a débuté au Collège John Abbott, où ses professeurs, impressionnés par son excellence académique, l’ont recommandée pour soutenir d’autres étudiants. Elle a ensuite été officiellement embauchée par le collège pour donner des cours de mathématiques, chimie, physique et biologie, acquérant ainsi deux années d’expérience quotidienne. Depuis, elle poursuit son tutorat de manière indépendante et accompagne des élèves de différents niveaux, tout en recevant des retours très positifs.

Marah est reconnue pour sa clarté, sa patience et sa capacité à rendre accessibles des notions complexes grâce à des explications simples et adaptées. Elle ajuste ses méthodes en fonction du style d’apprentissage de chaque élève et utilise plusieurs approches pour assurer une compréhension complète. Elle partage également des techniques d’étude efficaces, des outils de mémorisation et des stratégies de résolution de problèmes qui renforcent la confiance et l’autonomie.

Animée par sa passion pour l’éducation, Marah crée un environnement motivant et encourageant où les élèves progressent, prennent confiance et atteignent leurs objectifs académiques.

Franco L-B

A specialist in physics education, Franco holds a Master’s degree in Physics Education from Concordia University (CGPA 4.15/4.30) and an Honours B.Sc. in Physics with a Minor in Computer Science from McGill University (CGPA 3.99/4.00). He has over a decade of experience teaching and tutoring science, physics, and mathematics to high school and CEGEP students in both English and French.

From 2020 to 2025, Franco taught physics and mathematics in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in Japan. He developed and delivered engaging lessons grounded in research-based pedagogy, guided numerous student research projects, and led interdisciplinary science initiatives. His students consistently achieved results above the IB world average, and he received his school’s Top Teacher Award in 2023.

Franco’s expertise is reinforced by extensive professional development in physics and mathematics education, including training in equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM and a teaching mini-certificate from SALTISE on pedagogical design and active learning strategies. His Master’s research on innovative physics laboratory instruction has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences.

Fluent in English and proficient in French and Japanese, Franco combines active learning techniques with structured practice to help students strengthen problem-solving skills, deepen conceptual understanding, and develop a lasting appreciation for science, mathematics, programming, and the Japanese language.

Sofia Z.

ENG : Sofia earned an Honours Bachelor of Science in Physics with the French Immersion Program (2025) at the University of Ottawa. Bilingual in both French and English. She has worked in laboratories specialized in biophysics and photonics at the university. In her theoretical classes she excelled in many of her mathematics courses (Calculus, Linear Algebra) and her physics courses (Theoretical Physics, Mechanics, Optics, Quantum Mechanics, Biophysics, Astrophysics, and more).

Experienced in tutoring, teaching, and leading a few workshops in science. She hopes she becomes a high school physics teacher that can inspire young minds to explore STEM. Beyond the workplace, Sofia has many different hobbies including hiking, camping, swimming, reading, and skiing !

FR : Sofia est titulaire d’un baccalauréat en physique avec programme d’immersion de l’université d’Ottawa. Elle est bilingue français-anglais. Elle a travaillé dans des laboratoires spécialisés en biophysique et en photonique à l’université. Dans le cadre de ces cours théoriques, elle a excellé dans ses cours de mathématiques (calcul, algèbre linéaire, preuve et raisonnement mathématique) et de physique (physique théorique, mécanique, optique, physique du solide, mécanique quantique, biophysique, astrophysique, etc.).

Forte de son expérience en tutorat, en enseignement et en animation d’ateliers scientifiques, elle espère devenir professeure de physique au lycée et inspirer les jeunes à explorer les sciences et les mathématiques. En dehors du travail, Sofia a plusieurs passe-temps, dont la randonnée, le camping, la natation, la lecture et le ski !

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.
