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.

CAMERON C.

Cameron brings genuine curiosity and care to every student he teaches. As a BC certified science teacher with a degree in Chemistry from Simon Fraser University, he combines subject-matter expertise with a hands-on, approachable teaching style. Over the past 1.5 years, he has taught in formal classroom settings, building on more than five years of experience supporting children with diverse learning needs and abilities.

For Cameron, teaching starts with connection, not curriculum. He takes the time to get to know his students and their families first, believing that trust and rapport lay the groundwork for real academic progress. This relationship-first approach shapes how he tutors: patiently, attentively, and with a genuine belief that every student can grow with the right support. When he’s not teaching, Cameron can usually be found outdoors hiking, camping, gardening, or getting active with friends. That same energy and hands-on spirit show up in how he engages his students, making learning feel less like a chore and more like an adventure.
