Shelby J.

Hi there! My name is Shelby, and I am a teacher candidate currently enrolled in my Bachelor of Education for Primary and Junior at Ontario Tech University. Before pursuing my passion for teaching, I completed a Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in Finance at Wilfrid Laurier University and worked for two years in corporate finance in Toronto. My experience in the corporate world has helped me develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills, which I now bring into my teaching practice to support students in their learning journeys.
Throughout my education, I have completed a variety of Math courses, both in high school and university, which have provided me with a solid foundation of complex concepts, analytics and financial analysis (i.e. Data Management, Calculus, Algebra, Financial Math). Whether it’s helping students build their math skills, supporting their understanding of core concepts, or guiding them through challenging problems, I aim to make learning both engaging and effective.
Outside of my studies, I work as a Program Coordinator for an after-school daycare, where I get to create and execute interactive activities for children ages 4 to 12. In my free time, I enjoy staying active by playing soccer and volleyball in Whitby, as well as any reading I can fit into my schedule.
I look forward to helping you or your child succeed in their academics and reach their full potential!

Steven K.

My name is Steven, and I have been a teacher in the Durham District School Board for the past thirteen years. Over the past 13 years, I have taught in a variety of classroom settings, including Grades 4 through 12. I have taught most of the core subjects in the Intermediate curriculum. Currently, I am entering my third year as a member of the Faculty of Education at Tyndale University in Toronto as an instructor teaching the History Teacher Qualification course for Teacher Candidates.
Before entering public education, I provided private, one-on-one music instruction for piano, music theory, and music history students. These teaching opportunities allowed me to craft specific lesson plans for individual students letting me guide the students towards personal bests and success. Many past students have been successful in entering post-secondary music programs.
Over the past 30 years, I have had the privilege of assisting students to set goals and achieve these goals in a variety of learning environments. I look forward to assisting your student in striving and reaching their goals.

Sianusa S.

My name is, and I am a qualified teacher. I have a degree and diploma in Early Childhood Studies, a minor in Sociology, and my Bachelor of Education. I have taught in schools all around the Durham region and tutored for over eight years. I believe teaching is not a one-size fits all. I think teachers must alter and differentiate instructions to ensure students learn most effectively.

Aneesa B.

With over 10 years of experience as an Early Childhood Educator with the Toronto District School Board, I have dedicated my career to fostering a love of learning in young children. My passion for education led me back to school to earn my Bachelor of Education, and I am now a certified Primary/Junior teacher. While my heart is in Kindergarten, I truly enjoy working with students of all grade levels.

I believe that the early years are the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. As a lifelong learner myself, I understand the importance of patience, time, and individualized support—things I personally needed as a student. Every child learns differently, and it is our job as educators to adapt, be flexible, and meet students where they are. My goal is to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment that helps each child thrive at their own pace.

Beyond the classroom, I am a proud mother of two boys, ages 8 and 10. My eldest son has autism, which has given me firsthand experience in supporting diverse learning needs. This has deepened my understanding of the importance of individualized education and the power of patience, flexibility, and advocacy.

I am also committed to professional growth and have earned additional qualifications in:
– Mathematics, Primary and Junior
– Equitable and Inclusive Schools
– Teaching English Language Learners
– Reading
– Teacher Librarian

Let’s work together to support your child’s educational journey!

Clara R.

My name is Mrs. R! It’s good to meet you. I am an upcoming Primary/Junior teacher with three years of teaching experience.

I believe that every student holds unique inner worlds, and as an educator it is my mission to nurture these in every child I teach. Patience, determination, and confidence in the potential of every child to learn are the soil, sun and water guiding my work.

My favorite subjects to teach are English and Science, but nothing will ever beat the feeling I get when a child finally grasps that one Math problem that they never thought they’d understand. No matter what I teach, I always try to end my lessons with a smile for myself and my students.

I can’t wait to meet you and your precious little one! Hope to see you soon!

Michelle C.

Hi! My name is Michelle. I have over 10 years of experience working with children and youth in various roles, including as a teacher, tutor, and camp leader. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and I feel like I’ve been teaching my whole life. As the second eldest of five siblings, I grew up helping my younger siblings with their homework and projects while also learning how to care for them. This early experience sparked my love for teaching and shaped my ability to support young learners—a role I still value today, as my siblings often come to me for résumé edits and life advice.

I am currently completing my Master of Teaching program at the University of Toronto and was honoured to receive the 2024 Don Galbraith Pre-service Science Teacher Award. Through my education and previous experiences, I have developed a strong belief in using research-based, student-centered approaches that prioritize students’ voice and agency. I focus on building trust and meaningful relationships with students, as I believe these are key to empowering them to reach their full potential.

Outside of teaching, I love working on DIY projects with my husband, thrifting and playing board games with my siblings, enjoying sushi with my best friend, and tackling escape rooms with friends.

I’m excited to get to know your child and support them on their learning journey. Thank you for trusting me to be part of their growth and development!

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.

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!
