Renée Phares (G1-12 English Tutor)
I’m a tutor with a passion for helping children, any age, boost their skills and confidence in reading, writing, communication, and grammar. I am currently finishing my second year of university with a major in Psychology, therefore, I specialize in essay writing and always look for opportunities to strengthen my own literacy skills. I’ve worked with many young learners and can confidently say that there is no better feeling than when a child acknowledges their success and appreciates their own hard work. When tutoring, I always put the student first. Understanding what kind of head space the student is in when entering the classroom allows me to better understand how to present the material for the day and in what quantity. Within each session, I will make it my priority to efficiently teach new literacy skills, as well as answer any questions the students will have effectively whilst maintaining a positive learning environment. This pattern I have developed has allowed me to gain the trust of young learners and strengthen relationships which has produced great success in marks and student confidence!

Hi, I’m Joseph Thomas, a Mechanical Engineering student at York University with a strong foundation in mathematics and a deep interest in education. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve consistently excelled in courses such as calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. More importantly, I’ve developed a passion for helping others understand these subjects in a way that’s clear, structured, and encouraging.
As someone who once had to relearn math from the basics, I understand the challenges students face and the importance of having the right support system. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their grades but also to build their confidence and critical thinking skills so they can approach future problems with clarity and independence.
I believe that learning should be a collaborative process, and I always aim to create a positive and motivating environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I'm excited to work with students at IntelliPaths and contribute to their academic success.n goes here
