RISHI B.

Rishi is a graduate of the University of Alberta with a bachelors in computing science, and a minor in Math, as well as a certificate in advanced game programming from Sheridan College. Born in India, and immigrating to Canada when he was 3 years old, Rishi has lived in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Oakville, and, most recently, Toronto. Growing up all over Canada and frequently visiting his home country helped to developed in him a deep love for travel and making connections with people from all over the world. During these visits to India, he would spend much time with his extended family, specifically his younger siblings. Helping with his siblings school work fostered in him an immense passion for teaching. While completing his bachelors, Rishi chose to spend his spare time volunteering for organizations on campus that focused on education. Through these organizations he has visited elementary schools as a guest science teacher, helped with high school exam and university prep for newcomers to Canada, and helped university students with first year math courses. In addition to his volunteer experience, Rishi has also worked as a math, science, and English tutor for Sylvan Learning and Oxford Learning. As a tutor, Rishi is very capable of teaching a wide array of subjects, but loves nothing more than teaching math & English. His goal with his students is to breakdown the stereotype of math and English not being fun. For him, seeing the moment when a concept finally clicks in a students mind and they start enjoying what they are learning is incredibly rewarding.

ANTHONY M.

Anthony Mayadunne is a multi-disciplinary educator up to the university level in Mathematics (ALM, Harvard), English (MA, UBC), and Business (MBA, U of T). He is passionate about delivering a focused and exciting learning experience to his students—whether they are in Grade 6 … or pursuing their PhD. He is also a SAT trainer (integrating both English and Mathematics sections), and University Admissions Coach for undergraduate and graduate programs, having placed many students in leading universities around the world. When invited to teach Calculus in Engineering Outreach programs (Gr 9 – 12) at U of T Engineering, he developed an engaging approach to teach a famously challenging subject: Calculus. Later, completing his Masters in Mathematics for Teaching, he specialized in teaching Calculus to meet rigorous standards: AP/IB Calculus, Engineering Mathematics, and Mathematics in Arts & Science. His warm and engaging manner has led him to mentor many students in their academic and professional careers. He hopes to persuade the world that all people (including parents) are innate mathematicians, and that Calculus can bring as profound joy as Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony, or Maurice Sendak’s Night Kitchen. So far, he has succeeded with about 50 people, and optimistically looks forward to the still 8 billion more people to go.
He has traveled extensively, living for many years in Japan, Australia, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, and uses these experiences to write short stories, essays and poems. He describes himself in four verbs: I teach, I travel, I read, and sometimes, I write.
