Jayneel P.

Jayneel P. is a graduate in Astrophysics and Mathematics from the University of Calgary. Currently he is helping research before his Masters in Physics. Beyond research in Physics, Jayneel takes great pride in educating the future scientists and mathematicians of tomorrow, and in doing so he firmly believes he strengthens his own foundations in Physics and Mathematics. He has tutoring experience of 6 years, ranging from Elementary to University level subjects, and has seen a myriad of students all of diverse educational backgrounds. From this experience, Jayneel’s preferred method for teaching is to cultivate curiosity, allowing the student to gain confidence for self-exploration of the subject.

Whether you’re a budding astronomer or seeking to grasp the wonders of the universe, Jayneel would be proud to guide your journey.

Kyle G.

Kyle G. has a dual degree in Math and Physics, but his love and passion for the STEM fields started long before college. During elementary school, he developed a deep curiosity for math – not just for successfully solving problems, but for learning the intricacies of how and why math works. In his spare time, Kyle pursued his other main passions: community and teaching. He was a leader within his Boy Scout troop, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in 2005. In college, Kyle focused his studies on Math and Physics with some added Education courses. Since graduating, Kyle has worked in the field of lasers and optics for more than 15 years although he never gave up on teaching. Even while occupied with his professional career Kyle still managed to serve as an adjunct professor at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and as an instructor for LiDARs.
These days, Kyle is fulfilling his passion for teaching by bringing his excitement for STEM to students who need a little (or a lot of) extra help to feel confident or to guide students who are ready to ramp up their learning trajectory. Kyle’s philosophy is that no two students are the same, so he focuses on adapting to how each student learns. He also loves fractals and doing proofs.

Dominic E.

Dominic E. received his BA degree from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC) in Jazz Studies. He is an accomplished musician who has won multiple awards for his playing and musicianship and has performed many different genres of music in several states. Dominic is a multitalented and skilled person whose love for music is only matched by his passion for math. Dominic’s love for math began when he was very young. He has been in advanced math classes, won multiple awards for his math abilities and academic performance, and uses his free time to discover new ways to understand and approach math. He believes that math is vital to many things which we do and he loves seeing students understand and come to appreciate it, as well as see its application to everyday life. In addition, Dominic recognizes that people learn differently and he has developed many ways to help students understand math, science, and music. Dominic firmly believes that math and music are intertwined and he, therefore, combines them in his teaching and tutoring when it is appropriate. Dominic is a unique individual who does not always learn in the traditional way that some schools teach. He has a strong desire to understand things on a deeper level so that they make sense to him and he seeks to help his students understand information and not just give back what was provided. He prides himself in meeting students where they are and helping them find ways to understand that work for them. One of the things that makes Dominic enjoy his work so much is when he is able to help students understand and go from struggling to success. Dominic has tutored many students in levels of math from elementary through advanced college, worked as a substitute teacher, taught small groups of students, worked as a high school teacher in math, technology and science, and tutored students in music from beginning to very advanced levels in theory, composition, performance skills, transcription, and song writing in most genres of music. Dominic combines his keen sense of humor and deep knowledge base to challenge students to understand material while building their confidence to try things which they previously thought were difficult or impossible – often times by tapping into their creativity.

Mudit D.

Mudit has a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. He further received a Graduate Certificate in Information Technology from Humber College. Mathematics is his first love, but he also teaches Physics and Computer Science.

Mudit has been tutoring in Canada, US, Australia and India. He has worked with students from grade 3 to 12. Tutoring comes naturally to him and he finds it to be therapeutic.

Shivani has a Bachelor’s of Science degree in math, physics, and chemistry — as well as a master’s degree in International Business.

She is an ideal math tutor for students in algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry, calculus (1, 2, AP, AB, and BC), physics, and chemistry. In addition, Shivani thrives on helping middle- and high-school students prepare for Mathcounts and AMC 8/10 competitions.

The belief that everyone has the potential to excel in math and science is what drives Shivani’s dedication to helping her students reach their full potential.

In her spare time, Shivani likes to go out on walks, hikes, enjoy nature, dance, and cook.

MELANIE M.

Melanie has a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, a Bachelor of Education and a Masters of Science in Mathematics Education. Along with her formal training in engineering, education, and mathematics education Melanie brings creativity and enthusiasm for quality teaching and learning.
Melanie has taught in British Columbia, Alberta, and Egypt since 2001. Teaching learners from all backgrounds, at all levels, requires versatility. To ensure course information is kept current, clear, and relevant, Melanie’s strategy is to continually adapt models and lessons to suit learner needs.
Melanie likes to build on strengths and strengthen weaknesses. To achieve this, Melanie will get to know you, and seek out strategies that work for you. She will adapt existing strategies and research new strategies. As greater retention comes through understanding, Melanie will take you back to the basics and help you piece together all the bits to build true understanding. Further student success comes through learning strategies such as “study foldables”, manipulatives, technology use, games and competitions to reinforce learning.
