Hi there! I'm an M.Sc. Biology graduate (and recipient of the Governor General's Gold Medal) and postsecondary educator with experience teaching and supporting students in biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, environmental science, and other science courses at both the college and university level.
I currently work as an Academic Success Advisor at Cambrian College and also teach Physical Chemistry (CHM1002). I have previously taught undergraduate chemistry laboratories at Algoma University, academic upgrading for both math and science at Cambrian College, and various courses as a Student Success instructor at Trillium College.
My approach to tutoring is simple; every student has their own way to rock and roll, and I seek to tailor the tutoring experience to suit every student's individual needs.
I can help with:
- Biology and life sciences
- Chemistry and physical chemistry
- Anatomy & physiology
- Environmental science
- Scientific concepts and terminology
- Study strategies and exam preparation
- Problem-solving and scientific reasoning
- Reviewing assignments, practice questions, and course material
And much, much more (lol).
Whether you're struggling with a specific concept, preparing for an exam, or looking for someone to help you build confidence in a challenging science course, I'm happy to meet you where you're at and work from there.
I collaborated with Algoma Steel Inc. and Lake Superior State University to examine what exactly makes it so that some plant species are able to thrive on the (near) inhospitable material.

Someone who is capable of helping u with anything school wise
During my internship in Canada I had to write a thesis about my research project. Quincy being in the same lab as me became first of all a dear friend since she is a lovely person. But second of all the helped me through my whole project even when the prof couldn’t she was there and came up with solutions. She even, since English is not my frist language took it opon herself to correct my grammer and spelling of the thesis and other documentation.
Besides this all the helped me prepare for my defence and so much more.

Perfect person to learn from.
Quincy is an excellent tutor and educator. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and really good at explaining difficult concepts in a way that actually makes sense. What I appreciated most was how comfortable she makes you feel asking questions—she never makes you feel rushed or judged, and she takes the time to make sure you truly understand the material.
She is very approachable, supportive, and clearly cares about helping students succeed. Her explanations are clear, organized, and easy to follow, and she has a great way of making science feel much less overwhelming. I would definitely recommend Quincy to anyone looking for help with biology, chemistry, or other science courses. She is absolutely worth learning from!

Great help for my time in Chem I
I had Quincy as my lab instructor for an introductory chemistry class at Algoma University. I found her to be very helpful, knowledgeable and incredibly easy to get along with! She helped make my experience in the lab very clear and took any stress off my shoulders by providing help whenever I or one of my classmates needed it.
If I had the chance to have her as an instructor again I would jump on it!
