KEVIN W.

 Kevin Wawrzyn believes that knowledge is the greatest gift you can give others. He started tutoring in 2018 and through years of experience, he developed various methods helping students understand even the most complex concepts. Kevin uses technology and graphical methods to explain the laws of Math and Science in the most effective way. To reach an even broader audience, Kevin has recently opened a youtube channel, where he proves that science surrounds us every day and it can be both useful and fun. His academic background in Biomedical Sciences (Ryerson University) makes him specialized in natural sciences as well as math and statistics. In his free time, Kevin plays piano and enjoys biking.

SARAH P.

Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am an educator who specializes in science and math. I completed degrees in Secondary Education (grades 7-12) and Science with a specialization in Science Education from the University of Alberta in 2020. Throughout my schooling, I also gained extensive experience working with children and youth through both volunteer and work positions, and thoroughly enjoy engaging with them! I love supporting students by getting to know them and working with them to learn what tools and strategies are going to best empower them to improve and grow in their studies. I am an avid believer in life-long learning, and am dedicated to learning alongside students to be able to facilitate quality educational experiences that meets their needs and goals.

DAVE M.

Hello! I’m Mr.Dave, and I’ve been helping students understand physics, math, and science for over 30 years. I started my tutoring career by answering an ad when I was in university, and I was amazed at how much fun it was to watch a student suddenly understand concepts they had been struggling with for months.
That first experience changed the course of my life, and led me into a lot more tutoring work, and a second Bachelor’s degree. Eventually, I found myself teaching physics, mathematics, and general science in a private high school for 25 years.
Now I’m transitioning my teaching to a more online medium, and I still love helping young people overcome their challenges in those tough courses.
My focus, especially in physics and science, is to help students really grasp the material conceptually first. Once they have a “gut feeling” about how things really work, students can quickly understand the deeper levels of what is going on.
I have developed a logical, step-by-step approach that really applies to all physics problems. I want to help students learn to know intuitively what to try next. I use a similar approach in teaching math – and in both subjects, I like using several different ways of explaining each idea; different students perceive and learn in different ways, and I love to figure out which approach will work best with each individual.
After 25 years of teaching high school and designing courses, I have gigabytes of images, video clips, handouts, practice problems, and lesson ideas. I’m ready to share those resources to help students not only get unstuck, but also re-discover how much fun learning can be.
I’ve found that once a student is able to overcome a few key points of frustration, their natural curiosity and interest in the subject can be rekindled – and once that happens, the sky is the limit!
If you’re feeling frustrated and confused, it’s time to get connected, get a nudge in the right direction, and get back to enjoying your courses!
