GABRIELLA B.
Hi there! I am Gabriella, but please feel free to call me Gabby! I am currently a teacher candidate at The University of Winnipeg where I am working towards fulfilling my lifelong dream of becoming a Math educator. I also have my Bachelor of Science with a major in Mathematics and minor in English. So, I love numbers and words! Math education is something I am very passionate about, and I believe that is something you will notice as I teach. I often hear people tell me that they are simply just not a “math person”, and I disagree with that statement strongly. I believe with proper instruction and the right mind set, everybody has the ability to succeed in Math. Math takes practice; much like how sports require practice. The more you practice, the better and more confident you will become! Apart from Math, I also love to teach English. I believe the two most important skills are both numeracy and literacy. I have a lot of experience helping students of all ages with both skills and equally enjoy doing both! In my free time, I love to golf, spend time at the lake, watch the Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Vikings win, watch Marvel movies, listen to rock music, and play video games.
I look forward to helping you become the Math person that I know you can be! 🙂
RAFFAELE B.
I am a high school vice principal, teacher and instructional coach specializing in Mathematics and Physics. I bring 20 years of teaching experience in high school math, empowering kids to gain confidence and improve their mathematical ability so that they can become life-long learners confident to handle the challenges of the work place, or post- secondary education.
I specialize in provincial exam prep (Pre-Calc and Applied 12) but am willing to work in any level of math.
I have many hobbies including sports (hockey, golf, basketball), learning languages (I am self taught in Italian and Greek), and music (I play guitar).

DAVE M.
Hello! I’m Mr.Dave, and I’ve been helping students understand physics, math, and science for over 30 years. I started my tutoring career by answering an ad when I was in university, and I was amazed at how much fun it was to watch a student suddenly understand concepts they had been struggling with for months.
That first experience changed the course of my life, and led me into a lot more tutoring work, and a second Bachelor’s degree. Eventually, I found myself teaching physics, mathematics, and general science in a private high school for 25 years.
Now I’m transitioning my teaching to a more online medium, and I still love helping young people overcome their challenges in those tough courses.
My focus, especially in physics and science, is to help students really grasp the material conceptually first. Once they have a “gut feeling” about how things really work, students can quickly understand the deeper levels of what is going on.
I have developed a logical, step-by-step approach that really applies to all physics problems. I want to help students learn to know intuitively what to try next. I use a similar approach in teaching math – and in both subjects, I like using several different ways of explaining each idea; different students perceive and learn in different ways, and I love to figure out which approach will work best with each individual.
After 25 years of teaching high school and designing courses, I have gigabytes of images, video clips, handouts, practice problems, and lesson ideas. I’m ready to share those resources to help students not only get unstuck, but also re-discover how much fun learning can be.
I’ve found that once a student is able to overcome a few key points of frustration, their natural curiosity and interest in the subject can be rekindled – and once that happens, the sky is the limit!
If you’re feeling frustrated and confused, it’s time to get connected, get a nudge in the right direction, and get back to enjoying your courses!
WINNIE H.
Hi, My name is Winnie.
I am a Manitoba certified teacher and graduated from the University of Manitoba with my BEd. in 2016. I also have my BSc. in Biological sciences and a minor in mathematics. I have taught students of varying ages from elementary aged to adults with various needs. My specialties are in the mathematics and high school sciences (biology and chemistry). I believe all students have great potential but some need an extra hand to help them along the way. I love building connections to my students and seeing their growth as learners and individuals. I am flexible and resourceful and love to find ways that will help your child learn to their best potential. In my free time I love to take care of my house plants, painting and trying out new food.

BROOKE S.
Hello! My name is Brooke. I am currently in my third year teaching. I graduated from l’Université de Saint Boniface with a major in French and a minor in Anthropology. I then received my education degree at the University of Manitoba with a specialization in EarlyYears. I have experience with a variety of ages, ranging form grades 1 to 6.
I love to read and appreciate a good Netflix show so I love to integrate books and media into my lessons to build engagement.
My favourite part about teaching is building relationships with my students, getting to know them, and seeing that “oh I get it!” moment. Helping my students begin to believe in themselves and grow their confidence is what makes me love my job so much.
