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.

FR: Né à Montréal, Alexander à de l’expérience personnelle avec le programme scolaire au Québec.Parlant couramment l’anglais et le français, il se spécialise dans le soutien scolaire auprès des étudiants au secondaire et au CEGEP. Depuis 2018, il a accumulé de l’expérience en tutorat en aidant ses camarades de classe, en s’engageant dans des ateliers avec des élèves d’école primaire et secondaire et en travaillant en ligne avec des étudiants du primaire jusqu’au CEGEP. Ayant été formé au Collège Vanier en musique et sciences naturelles, il a donc aidé des étudiants dans les deux disciplines. Alexander a poursuivi ses études à l’Université McGill, où il a accumulé plusieurs bourses pour son excellence académique. Pendant qu’il obtenait son baccalauréat en interprétation musicale, il a complété plusieurs cours de physique et a pris l’allemand comme matière seconde.Malgré qu’il se soit concentré pendant plusieurs années sur la musique, ses premières passions restent les mathématiques et les sciences. Ayant plusieurs proches qui enseignent, il a toujours voulu devenir professeur. En automne 2025, Alexander est retourné aux étudesen sciences à l’Université Concordia, visant à étudier la physique et l’éducation pour devenir enseignant au niveau secondaire ou collégial.

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.

Clément B.

Clément poursuit actuellement une maîtrise en Génie de la production automatisée à l’École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) de Montréal. Il est diplômé de l’École des Mines d’Alès, en France, où il s’est spécialisé en Performance Industrielle et Systèmes Mécatroniques. Titulaire d’un baccalauréat scientifique (spécialité mathématiques et physique-chimie), il a également suivi deux années de classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles (filière PCSI/PC), où il a développé une solide rigueur scientifique et une méthode de travail efficace.

Fort de plus de trois ans d’expérience dans l’enseignement, Clément a accompagné de nombreux élèves de niveaux variés, les aidant à surmonter leurs difficultés, à reprendre confiance et à progresser durablement. Sa pédagogie repose sur la clarté, la structure et l’adaptation à chaque profil.

Ses cours suivent une structure claire et flexible :
• Reprise du cours avec des explications personnalisées
• Exercices progressifs pour consolider la compréhension et les réflexes
• Entraînement sur des sujets types examens (secondaire, collégial, concours…) pour gagner en autonomie et en efficacité

Des exercices ciblés sont proposés entre les séances et corrigés ensemble pour assurer un suivi régulier. Passionné par les sciences et la transmission du savoir, Clément cherche avant tout à rendre les mathématiques – et la physique si nécessaire – accessibles, claires et plaisantes pour tous.

Muskaan T.

Hi, I’m Muskaan, a graduate student in Bioengineering at Rice University with a strong interdisciplinary foundation in bioinformatics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics. With over five years of tutoring experience, I’ve had the opportunity to guide high school, undergraduate, and graduate students through subjects such as organic chemistry, biology, genetics, calculus, biostatistics etc. My teaching philosophy centers on turning complex topics into clear, engaging lessons that connect theory to real-world applications. Beyond tutoring, my professional experience spans both academic research and clinical practice from analyzing genetic risk factors for cardiovascular disease as a Graduate Researcher at UTHealth Houston, to assisting with pain management and pediatric clinics. These experiences have strengthened my ability to bridge scientific knowledge with practical understanding, which I strive to bring into every session. I’m passionate about helping students not only master challenging material but also build lasting confidence, curiosity, and a genuine appreciation for learning.

Josh C.

Josh earned his Master’s in Science Education from Rutgers, where he also studied Physics with minors in Math and Education. Since 2010, he has been helping students through private tutoring, Rutgers programs, and various companies—spending nearly 10,000 hours working one-on-one with learners of all levels.

What Josh loves most about teaching is making tough subjects like Physics and Math feel less intimidating. He focuses on helping students really understand the concepts behind the equations, not just memorize steps. Connecting abstract equations to real-world examples is of paramount importance when making things click, and whenever possible, Josh has students explain the material back to him—it’s a great way to build confidence and deepen understanding. Seeing that growth in students is Josh teaches, and he would be excited to help you get there as well.

In his free time, Josh likes to annoy his cat and play strategy games of various types to keep his mind sharp. Eventually, his cat decides they need attention, and then Josh gets to have the extra difficulty of playing while maneuvering around a cat between his face and the screen. It’s a good life.
