Victoria P.

Hello! My name is Victoria and I am extremely passionate about learning, teaching, and helping students unleash their full potential in education. I recently completed my Masters degree in neuroscience from the University of Ottawa and an undergraduate degree in biomedical science. The sciences and math are my specialties, but I also enjoy helping students in other subjects such as French and English. I love making learning an engaging and positive experience and believe every student has the potential to succeed.

I have experience in tutoring and understand how important it is to create a space where students feel comfortable, respected, and motivated to learn. My goal is to make learning fun and create an environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore new ideas. Every student learns differently, so I tailor my lesson plans to their individual needs– whether it’s using visual aids, breaking down concepts step-by-step, or interactive real-world examples.

In my free time, you’ll find me reading a good book, creating art, or exploring the outdoors– activities that keep me inspired and curious. I am looking forward to helping your students build confidence, discover their potential, and gain skills that last a lifetime. Let’s make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I look forward to working with you!

Douglas P.

Douglas is a certified teacher, university faculty member, former museum curator, and all-around renaissance man. Few have a professional background like him: Archaeology, Astronomy, History, Paleontology, and Religious Studies are just a few of the subjects Douglas has worked and taught in. After completing a degree in History he went to work for museums in Los Angeles, including the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and Griffith Observatory. During that time he acquired a Master of Arts in Teaching, taught in several school districts, and all while continuing to work in museums. Since moving to Idaho, he has worked in community based mental health, the state prison system, and currently he is at Boise State teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology Labs, (he prefers labs over lectures – they’re more fun!). Douglas’s style is very unique, interactive, and is about inspiring and not just rote knowledge acquisition. From lecturing about Dwarf Planet Pluto at the most visited public observatory in the world, to teaching inmates about fossilization and quantum mechanics, Douglas is available to help you, or your student, find new appreciation for their natural and cultural worlds, create a tomorrow that is better than today, and learn a little along the way!

Some examples of how he works:
Does your student need to work on basic reading and writing? Let’s use dinosaurs to develop those skills!
Does your student need to work on writing proper essays, developing ideas, and forming arguments? Let’s dig up something archaeological and either support or refute it!
Maybe your student needs someone to talk with while learning about the wonders of the past, the mysteries of the cosmos, and other big ideas. Let’s dive in and see where we end up!
From kindergarten to college, Douglas will endeavor to help your student achieve academically – and have fun while doing it!
