Hello! My name is Mackenzie, I am 24 and have a Master's degree in Philosophy from McMaster University. I have two years of experience tutoring at the university level, and have completed courses in a wide array of subjects in the Humanities and Social Sciences, including History, English, Psychology, Sociology and Political Science, Law and Legal Theory, Formal Logic and Critical Thinking, Classics (Greek and Roman history and literature), Communications, Research Methods, and Philosophy. I have a strong academic background, graduating from my BA on the Dean's Honours List with a GPA of 11.6 (12 point scale), and receiving several scholarships and research grants. To list some: In 2020, I was awarded McMaster's Undergraduate Student Research Award. Upon entering my Master's program, in 2021, I was awarded the Harry Lymann Hooker Fellowship. Most recently, I was awarded the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada's CGS-M research scholarship. My expertise is in Philosophy, which means I have thoroughly developed research, argumentation, reading comprehension and writing skills. With these skills, I can help you improve upon your own reading, writing, and comprehension. I can help you draft essay outlines, craft strong arguments, and employ and improve upon your critical thinking skills. I can help you edit and review your own writing with a critical eye to ensure your writing is as strong as it can be. I can also guide you through the close reading process, helping you to break down the content of a text and understand its meaning and structure. These are skills which are necessary to succeed in all manner of subjects, and are the foundations of academic success. My experience with a wide array of courses and fields will allow me to guide you in applying these skills in the ways which are most appropriate to a given subject. Whether you struggle to understand difficult texts or with writing persuasive papers, I am here to help!

Kristen S.
United States Air Force Academy, Florida Atlantic University
USAFA grad, MD, and returned Peace Corps Volunteer who loves to teach & coach
I am a 2004 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science in philosophy & humanities. After graduation from college, I joined the United States Peace Corps and, for two years, lived in a small village in the sub-Saharan African country of Zambia. While there, I collaborated with Zambian colleagues at the grassroots level to increase rural awareness of preventive health measures to protect against malaria and other common diseases. Upon my return to the US from Africa, I began tutoring, and continued to do so as I worked my way through medical school. Subjects of expertise include standardized test prep, reading & writing, and math. My medical school experience forced me to learn techniques for efficient retention of large volumes of information. I, in turn, teach students these techniques, thus helping them retain what they have learned. I graduated from medical school in 2017 and continued tutoring, now with an additional focus on coaching. I believe this is what makes me unique as a tutor. I help students define goals, establish habits, and create systems that support good habits. We troubleshoot as difficulties maintaining habits arise, and modify our approach accordingly. I love helping students find their talents and translate them into career paths, including helping students find and apply for relevant programs of study, and finding professionals in those fields to advise and inspire. My medical knowledge, specifically my interest in mental health and how it contributes to academic & other success, also informs my work with students. I’ve successfully helped students with interventions like vitamin supplementation, dietary changes, and medication compliance for ADHD and other conditions, and more. I’ve consistently seen big improvements in students’ ability to focus, follow through, and in so doing, feel better about themselves. Please reach out if I can be of help to you or your student!
