OUR TUTORS
KEANU
CEO
Hey! I’m Keanu, founder of TPT. As an experienced teacher and tutor, I believe in taking a holistic approach to tutoring in order to facilitate the development of a Growth Mindset, as the only constant each year is the student themselves. This means teaching students to love and be efficient in their learning by helping them to master essential skills, as well as, develop their mathematical intuition to create a foundation from which they can build upon. My unwavering belief that all students have the potential to be successful leaves no student behind. Aside from teaching, my other passions include playing sports (especially soccer, volleyball and rugby) and board games!

Hi, my name is Alexander but you can call me Alex. I am an Ontario Certified Teacher with qualifications in mathematics, science, and physics. My goal as a teacher is to develop life-long learners through the acquisition of transferable skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving to ensure their future success. As changing career trends occur life-long learners are able to adapt by leveraging transferable skills to apply them within new settings for future success. As a teacher I also believe in taking a student-centered and collaborative approach which comes out in my teaching as a series of questions to activate student learning. This realizes my goal as students activate life-long learning skills which allows them to learn concepts more deeply as they actively learn.
When I am not teaching, I frequently enjoy watching math videos that explain concepts visually or through an alternative viewpoint. I also enjoy playing video games and learning how they are developed!
LYNDA
Math & Science Tutor Grades 9-10 | Physics 11-12
After graduating high school with a gold medal, I studied Physics at the Odesa State University in Ukraine, and in 1990 was awarded M.Sc. Degree in Physics and Mathematics. I taught high school students in the Ukraine and I found it to be extremely rewarding so I decided to pursue my OCT so I could continue teaching when I immigrated to Canada. In 2001, I obtained my OCT teaching qualification and since then have taught Math, Physics, and Science in secondary schools. I believe that every student, with help and guidance, has the potential to succeed. I explain concepts in a way that makes them simple for students to understand. I am patient and will answer all questions thoroughly. Outside of teaching, I love to cook/bake, take walks, and spend time with my family.
