Allyson R.
Allyson has a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Queen’s University. Raised in Montreal, she graduated from Miss Edgars and Miss Cramps School, where she developed a love for math and science at a young age. She is fully bilingual and has been tutoring different grade levels for about 5 years, specializing in high school math and science during her degree. Ally has always loved learning and was happy to find a way to balance her education with her active participation in her school’s Engineering Society and her passion for the outdoors. This is an important lesson that she always conveys to her students, balance is the key to success.
While taking some difficult courses throughout her educational journey, she had to be creative with her study methods and determine the best ways to grasp difficult concepts. Applying these well practiced methods based on learning style is something she finds crucial when tutoring students and helping them reach their goals.

Neil H.
Neil’s career path has been determined by an equal love of Science, Mathematics, and Visual Art. After graduating from Cawthra Park Secondary School with a major in Visual Art, Neil decided to pursue an education in Physics, hoping to incorporate an understanding of the structure of matter into his paintings. In 2004 he graduated with a combined major in Physics & Astronomy from the University of Victoria in B.C. Since then Neil has worked as a professional Math and Physics tutor, working one-on-one with high school and university students, helping many of them pursue an education and career in the Sciences. While continuing to work as a tutor, Neil went back to school to develop his painting practice, completing a Master of Fine Arts at York University in 2013. While there, Neil developed his mathematical approach to painting that he continues to explore today. After graduating from York, he received an honourable mention in the 15th Annual RBC Canadian Painting Competition, exhibiting his painting at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Recently Neil’s paintings were included in Entangled: Two Views on Contemporary Canadian Painting, a survey exhibition of Canadian painting at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Neil’s paintings have been exhibited and collected across Canada, the U.K., and Europe. In 2014, in order to further develop as a teacher, Neil decided to attend teacher’s college at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Since graduating he has worked as a full-time tutor in Toronto.

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.
