Ashlyn K.
Trinity College Dublin
Experienced High School tutor passionate about helping students reach their goals!
Hi, I'm Ashlyn! I'm a fourth-year student majoring in Economics and Political Science with minors in Sociology and Philosophy. I have always been passionate about education and the transformative power it holds. Tutoring allows me to contribute to the academic growth of individuals, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I believe education is not just about acquiring knowledge but also about fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love for learning. As a tutor, I aspire to inspire and empower my students to reach their full potential academically and beyond. I have one year of teaching experience in a classroom; I taught High School English and Math in Nepal where I was the primary teacher for classes of 20-25 students. Further, for the past four years, I have been private tutoring High School students online. I work with students one-on-one for SAT/ACT test preparation, college applications, Algebra, Calculus, English, and Social Studies. I absolutely love the individual relationships I can form when tutoring one student at a time. I'm aware each student has varying academic goals and learning styles, so I tailor my teaching approach to fit the needs of each individual student. For each student, I curate a personalized curriculum to teach the material they need to know in a way that works for them. By creating a supportive and engaging environment, I aim to create a safe space for students to ask questions, explore concepts deeply, and develop a strong foundation in the subject matter. I'm excited to work with my students to reach their academic goals! Please feel free to message me for more details or with any questions.

Mackenzie B.
McMaster University, McMaster University
MA Student Tutor with Expertise in Essay Writing and Reading Comprehension
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!
