Alexandra K.
Hi, I’m Ali! I’ve been an educator for over a decade and have always believed that every child deserves to be seen for their unique strengths and full potential.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching, coaching, and supporting students, families, and teachers. My passion is helping children build confidence, close learning gaps, and develop skills that will serve them both in and out of the classroom. I especially enjoy working with students who may need a little extra support in reading, writing, or organization and I love finding creative, engaging ways to make learning click.
Outside of education, I’m a wife, mom of two girls, and coffee lover who enjoys adventuring with my family and bringing creative projects to life. My goal as a tutor is to create a safe, encouraging space where your child feels supported, motivated, and ready to grow.
AIDEN O.
Aidan O. is a PhD student in Communication & Culture at York University studying the politics of internet memes and social media. He has a masters degree in Media Studies from Western University and a bachelor’s degree in political studies from Queen’s University. Aidan is an experienced educator with a strong background in teaching communication, reading, writing and critical thinking skills. Aidan has worked as a graduate teaching assistant teaching in university classrooms, as a literacy tutor in elementary schools and in student’s homes and as a debate coach teaching students remotely over Zoom.
Aidan believes that teaching is a collective journey that requires an educator to move through the learning process with students and model attitudes and behaviors that reflect the practice and promote engagement with the subject matter. Learning is an acquisition of knowledge, but it is primarily a way of being in the world. Learning about literature, law, economics, history, science or philosophy is not just learning names of acclaimed authors and key concepts it is learning to carry on in our lives with critical questioning, eclectic curiosity and honesty about what we do not know. This understanding of the importance of teaching informs Aidan’s teaching and tutoring practice and motivates his journey to become a working professor. In his spare time Aidan enjoys cooking, listening to music and reading.
