VIVIENNE A.
Hi! My name is Vivienne, and I’m a recent graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder, where I earned my degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Throughout my undergraduate years, I worked as a biology TA, helping students work through everything from foundational concepts to challenging upper-level material.
Along the way, I learned that success in science is rarely about memorizing more. It’s about understanding how you learn best and building study habits that fit the way your brain actually works. That’s the approach I bring to every student I work with.
I’m passionate about supporting students, building their confidence, and helping them find strategies that make learning feel manageable, and even enjoyable. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, catching up on a tough unit, or simply want to feel more confident in class, I’d love to help you get there!

LILY C.
Lily graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in Microbiology and Immunology, earning consistent recognition on the Dean’s List for academic excellence. As a teaching assistant for UBC’s Biochemistry department and a tutor for over 50 students aged 7 to 18, she has helped students master high school STEM subjects, AP Biology, and ESL, often supporting learners navigating language barriers or learning differences.
She’s also a published researcher with three papers spanning topics from antibiotic resistance to microbiome diversity in gastric cancer. In the pediatric emergency department, Lily leads clinical trials, guiding children through the research process during some of their most vulnerable moments, sometimes with science, sometimes with snacks, and always with empathy.
Before she was a science nerd, Lily was a national-level swimmer who qualified for the Canadian Olympic Trials and set a Canadian relay record. These days, she channels that same discipline into teaching, weightlifting, triathlon training, and trying not to burn her high-protein recipes. Lily believes learning should be personalized, visual, and kind of fun (yes, even the Krebs cycle). Whether you’re prepping for AP exams or just trying to survive chemistry, Lily is here to help you crush your goals with knowledge, curiosity, and confidence.
JENNA H.
My name is Jenna and I am passionate about teaching science, math, and French. I love helping students build confidence, improve their skills, and reach their goals. One of the most rewarding parts of tutoring is seeing my students’ progress and sharing that excitement with both them and their families.
I am currently completing a BSc in Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry at the University of Toronto. I have worked with more than 50 students from kindergarten through Grade 12, supporting them in their school courses and, in some cases, teaching full courses to students who were not taking them at school. I am comfortable with math up to and including Advanced Functions and Calculus, and I am fluent in English, French, and Arabic, which lets me support students in French at any level.
Outside of tutoring, you will usually find me painting, knitting, reading, cooking, or out for a long walk. My long-term goal is to become a doctor, and tutoring has become one of my favourite parts of that path. It has taught me patience, how to explain complicated ideas simply, and how much I enjoy watching a student realize they can do something they thought they could not.

I’m patient, supportive, and adapt my teaching style to meet each student’s individual needs, because I understand that everyone learns differently. My goal is to create a positive, low-stress learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and can develop strong understanding and study habits. I look forward to working together and supporting your academic journey!
