Faraz K.
Faraz holds a Bachelor of Arts from Northwestern University, double majoring in Biology and Chemistry, and has completed graduate studies in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. He brings over five years of teaching experience, covering everything from elementary math and science to advanced undergraduate mathematics and standardized test prep. As a former teaching assistant at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Faraz has led classrooms, worked with small groups, delivered lectures, and graded exams.
A Chicagoland native, Faraz discovered his passion for teaching in college while introducing gifted children to LEGO robotics and computer programming. Outside the classroom, he is a dedicated runner—once a cross-country athlete, now a regular jogger—and a grilling enthusiast who insists barbecuing is equal parts science and art. Faraz’s teaching philosophy revolves around creating independent learners. He believes the best classroom isn’t the one where you are taught, but the one where you learn to teach yourself—though his students don’t have to grade their own homework… yet.
Kyle H.
Kyle is a primary English educator and aspiring film professor with more than six years of teaching and tutoring experience across multiple classrooms, workshops, online platforms, and subjects. While he has been pursuing his masters degree in education at National Louis University, he has also been supporting grades 9–12 as a permanent substitute teacher at Hinsdale South High School. Kyle also has led screenwriting, creative writing, and public speaking sessions for Cardinal Filmworks, a student owned and ran film collective at Ball State University (his alma mater). Finally, after his undergrad, he also tutored poetry, Spanish, photography, and videography for learners of all ages with Varsity Tutors as one of their Creative Writing Experts. His style tends to center on building up confidence and problem solving skills through lessons that connect his students’ work to their interests. Creativity is a core tenet of his and because of that he loves to design personalized, engaging sessions that balance creative freedom with structured feedback so that each student grows as both thinker and creator. Because of this more creativity-focused approach, crafting relationships with my students is paramount to me. Learning about their lives and helping them succeed is just as important to me as their academics. Kyle is a lifelong reader, film buff, devoted sci‑fi and fantasy fan, bass guitar player, and avid Chicago & New York sports fan (Cubs/Sox Mets/Jets).

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.

Mahdi A.
Not every bio starts with a name, and not every tutor teaches in the same way. Mahdi values genuineness, creativity, and a love of learning. Growing up in a family of educators, he developed an early appreciation for teaching while supporting his younger brother and friends with their studies. Mahdi completed his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering before moving to Canada, where he earned his Master’s degree in the same field. Throughout university, he discovered the joy of teaching in both one-on-one and group settings. Mahdi has a special passion for Mathematics, followed by Physics and Chemistry, though his curiosity extends to all areas of knowledge and science. In his tutoring, Mahdi focuses not on giving students the correct answers, but on teaching them how to understand questions, connect them to prior knowledge, determine where to begin solving, and verify each step along the way. He believes every student has a distinctive mind, a unique goal, and their own path to discovery. Outside of academics, Mahdi values balancing work and leisure. He enjoys exploring British Columbia through camping, skiing, hiking, and paddle boarding.
