My name is Ryan Coleman and I am an experienced elementary teacher originally from Ireland and currently living in Vancouver. I graduated with First Class Honours from Dublin City University in 2017 and I have been teaching consistently ever since. I am currently teaching Grade 5 here in Vancouver but throughout my career I have experience with all class levels from Kindergarten to Grade 7. I have been fortunate to work with a wide variety of children from different backgrounds and with different educational needs. I have extensive experience working with children with ASD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other special educational needs. Every learner is different and I employ a varied approach to teaching/tutoring. I believe in using a multi-faceted approach that tailors lessons to the specific student. I am extremely passionate about teaching and I feel fortunate to have found my calling early in life. I have tutored countless young people over the years and have always found the experience to be rewarding.

Hello my name is Cassie! I am originally from Ireland and received my Bachelor in Education from Trinity College Dublin in 2014. I have almost seven years of full time teaching experience both in Ireland and Vancouver. Throughout my years, I have taught in a wide range of educational settings, including special education, learning support and as a mainstream class teacher. I am very passionate about teaching and I strive to give every child the confidence and support to reach their academic and personal potential. I believe in teaching to children’s strengths and learning styles and to help them to become the agents of their own learning and success in their time in school and beyond. Dyslexia is an area I have quiet a bit of experience and passion about. As both my younger brothers have dyslexia, I spent much of my childhood helping them with homework and assignments; it is the reason I wanted to become a teacher in the first place! I also did a placement in a specialized classroom for students with dyslexia, which was an amazing and very informative experience. Given the right strategies and supports, children with learning differences can be just as successful academically as any other student!

My name is Julie and I am pursuing a career in education. Education is something that is very important to me, as it is for many people. Specifically, the access to education is something that I am passionate about. I believe in equity and opportunity for every student, regardless of their race, gender, sex, or socioeconomic backgrounds. I am grateful for the opportunities that were given to me to be in the place where I am able to help students create a space for safe learning. I grew up in East Van so many of my classmates did not have the same safe learning experiences that I want to create. I am aware that every individual student has their own learning style and what fits with them best will vary. I do not think that every method will suit every student as there may be learning challenges that are apparent or even hidden.

I strive to create an environment that challenges the student while also encouraging them to do better. For example, giving the answer right away is something that would hinder their ability to problem solve, so by giving them hints and leading them to the right direction will help them with long term memory. Many students feel the pressure to be at the same level as their peers, but that is something very difficult to achieve. This would result in a student not reaching out for extra help or expressing that they have a problem with the material. I think it is important to communicate with the student to make sure that they understand the material in a sufficient manner before moving on to the next obstacle. Building a professional relationship with a student is also crucial to the academic success of the student. Making sure that boundaries are set and that trust is solidified to make the tutoring experience more enjoyable. I want all students to succeed, even if they do not seem interested in school work at all. Overall, I want to try my best to make the student feel comfortable, challenged, and that they learned something at the end of the day.

Hi, my name is Phylicia and I graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2022 with a bachelor's degree in Behavioral Neurosciences. I love staying active and you can often find me on the mountains completing a hike! I plan on pursuing a master’s in occupational therapy and I am currently involved with research at UBC. I have one year of experience working as a science, math, and English instructor. I understand that each individual has their unique method of learning, whether that be auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or even a combination of them all! I love working collaboratively with students in order to create individualized lesson plans that are catered to meet each student's needs. I love to provide encouragement when learning new constructs but constructive criticism when needed. It is important that each student is comfortable in each session where they are excited and immersed in the material!

Hello! My name is Michael and I hold a B.Sc. from SFU with majors in Mathematics and Physics and minor in Education. I have accumulated a total of 3 years of professional formal tutoring experience in the areas of Science and Mathematics. Specifically, I am an expert across all grade levels of Mathematics, from elementary level to 1st-year college Algebra and Calculus I/II, and in Physics from Grades 11/12 to 1st Year. My teaching style consists of encouraging, and open-ended discussions for clarifying both the large and small doubts that the student has, where I spend much time not only focusing on the topic at hand but also spending time interconnecting the materials from the previously learned topics and lessons. I help my students build a strong foundation in the fundamentals prior to working on more sophisticated concepts. In my leisure time, I enjoy learning on cutting edge topics within the realms of Artificial Intelligence within the interdisciplinary fields of medical imaging. I also enjoy playing puzzles and interactive brain games and video games for fun. I also am an intermediate-level guitarist with expertise in fingerstyle music!

Patience and understanding are key elements in my work with students and I aim to create a safe and supportive environment for them to learn and grow. I am honest, responsible, dedicated, always on time, and organized. I look forward to supporting your child along their educational journey!
