BEN G.

Hello! Winnipeg born and raised, I have a B.Sc in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Computer Science. This led to a PhD in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manitoba and ultimately working as an astrophysicist with NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center.
I found my love of teaching through outreach events at the university planetarium, Science Rendezvous, and leading the astrophysics course laboratory sessions. Now I am back home and looking to pursue a teaching career.
I have more than 10 years experience with tutoring and teaching students of varying levels and backgrounds and know that the same approach will not work for everyone. Together let’s figure out which approach will work for you.

JEDRI D.

Hello! My name is Jedri. Throughout my post-secondary education, I’ve gained over six years of experience teaching math and science at all levels. I hold a Master’s degree in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Waterloo and have extensive experience working in both research and academic environments. I’m passionate about making complex ideas accessible to all students, regardless of their unique situations. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn—it’s just a matter of finding the best way to explain it! In my free time, I continue to explore my love for astronomy by stargazing. When the conditions are right, I enjoy spending my nights under the stars, reminded of the wonder and beauty in the science I teach.

Joe has always been a good student with a love of learning and a creative mind, which is truly what he hopes to pass on to your student! He is well suited to tutor for science courses as he has maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA while taking advanced classes in chemistry including organic, biochemistry, and inorganic chemistry as well as advanced level biology, psychology and philosophy courses. He is also well suited for test prep tutoring as he scored a perfect score on the science section of the ACT and a thirty-five on the math section. Joe’s passion for science and helping others learn shines through in tutoring, and he’s excited to guide your student to success.
