About
CHECK OUT MY BACK TO SCHOOL PACKAGES!
I love analogies and I strongly believe in helping you understand! By the end of our session you will feel comfortable teaching me all of the concepts you are struggling with!
>You come first, therefore each session includes a complimentary summary package - inclusive of extra examples, elaborated explanations, and a summary of the session.
My charismatic and understanding nature allows me to patiently help you with all of your science struggles. I am confident in my ability to teach and adjust my tutoring methodology for what works best for you. I have over 10 years of tutoring and teaching experience from elementary school to adult levels. I look forward to helping you learn science with ease!
A bit about me: I completed my bachelor degree in Life Sciences at University of Waterloo and successfully entered into the direct-entry PhD program at University of Toronto in Molecular Genetics, currently in my 5th year. I study the skin and how genetic mutations within the skin lead to immunological skin diseases and skin cancers.

The best tutor I’ve had!
I’ve had my fair share of tutors since I was in grade 4 and they have all come go - nothing consistent. When I went to the University of Waterloo I found Krista, she first helped me with biology and I wouldn’t have done as well as I did without her! She continued to tutor me in various courses throughout my undergraduate degree in genetics, organic chemistry, molecular biology and the labs that were associated with it. I couldn’t recommend Krista enough! She goes above and beyond, always found ways to help teach me and helped me find my learning style. I definitely wouldn’t be getting my PharmD degree without her.
