Tom B.

The joy and challenge of mathematics has always been a large part of Tom’s life, from participating in maths olympiads and running revision classes at school to his masters’ degree at Warwick University and beyond to ‘recreational’ reading on infinity, statistics or symmetry. He finds the purity of the subject, the neatness and objectivity, fascinating, and brings his enthusiasm and deep understanding to his teaching.

Since teaching roles at University, Tom has been accepting students for tuition both online and in person, and ten years after graduating he has coached dozens of students through their studies and exams at a high level. With a focus on high school math and beyond, Tom brings an understanding of calculus and algebra which allows him to provide students operating at the upper end of their school careers with insights and context they will not find on the regular curriculum, and does so in a friendly and informal manner.

Outside of mathematics, Tom is a keen outdoorsman and can often be found attached to a rope and up a cliff or running on the many trails in the sea to sky corridor (all of which seem to be uphill). He enjoys creative writing, loud music and runs a dungeons and dragons game for friends in Squamish and Whistler.

James C.

James is a teacher who can teach in British Columbia, California and Ontario. He grew up in northern BC and completed post-secondary studies in Alberta and Ontario before going to California to start his career. He has taught students from Gr. 6 to post-secondary (mostly in the STEM subjects from Computer Studies to Calculus to Chemistry and Physics). Outdoor education was always in the mix from running an outdoor programme for a school board to teaching skiing and white-water kayaking. He was selected to create and review online Physics and Chemistry for both Ontario high schools and later within the Ontario College system; these experiences deepened his understanding of barriers to success in students who had already experienced frustration in math or science. Empowering students to move from discouragement to a growth mindset has been the fulfilling part of his career. A move to Squamish after 30 years of teaching has expanded outdoor adventures but he still longs to help students take on challenges and to also find some fun in the work.

Trey B.

Trey is a certified high school math teacher and tutor from New Orleans, specializing in everything from 6th grade math to Precalculus. Currently entering his fifth year as a high school educator, Trey has taught a variety of subjects, including Honors Geometry, Honors Precalculus, and Algebra 2. This will be his second year at Isidore Newman School. A proud graduate of Holy Cross School, Trey holds a Bachelor’s degree in Math Education from Xavier University of Louisiana and a Master’s of Science in Applied Mathematics from Elizabeth State University.

With several years of experience tutoring in both one-on-one and small group settings, Trey has helped undergraduate students during his time in graduate school and continues to support students outside the classroom. He has a deep love for mathematics and is enthusiastic about sharing that passion with the students he works with. His dedication to student success is evident as he enjoys seeing students grow in both their mathematical abilities and their self-confidence.

When he’s not teaching or tutoring, Trey is a basketball enthusiast and enjoys rollerblading. Trey believes that “Math isn’t just a subject; it’s the formula for success.” His approach to tutoring is not only to help students achieve academic success but also to make the learning process engaging and, dare we say, a little bit fun.
