Our Team
At Heywood Academies, we take pride in our exceptional tutoring team, a group of dedicated educators who are passionate about inspiring academic excellence and fostering a love for learning. Our team is carefully selected for their subject expertise, teaching experience, and commitment to student success.
My background is in mechanical engineering, and I started Heywood Academies in 2022 to help students with their math, science, and engineering courses.
I did the mechanical engineering technologist program through Camosun College and the Bachelor of Engineering through the University of Victoria.
I also now work in the Science Help Center at Camosun College where I help students with their Physics.
Outside of tutoring, I like going to the gym, running, and watching anime!
Fun Fact: I spent a year travelling around Australia working as an online tutor
I’m a third-year civil engineering student at the University of Victoria, tutoring full-time this semester to help other students with their math, science and engineering courses. These subjects fascinate me, and I aim to help students perform well in their classes while also engaging their sense of curiosity and wonder.
Before I began my degree, I worked as a guitar teacher and musician in my hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. Despite my pivot towards academia, music remains a passion for me. I still play often and occasionally perform shows around Victoria.
I’m excited to assist students with their learning journey as a tutor with Heywood Academies this fall.
I’ve recently graduated the mechanical engineering program at the University of Victoria.
After school, I know that I would like to travel. I’m studying German to add my repertoire of languages!
I also love to spend time in the kitchen prepping lots of delicious things.
A fun fact about me is that I always have a fun ferment (funment?) going on: this time around it’s pineapple hot sauce!
I completed my bachelor’s degree in biology with a concentration in marine biology at the University of Victoria. During my degree, I spent significant time taking hands-on field courses at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, where I gained practical skills in marine research and fieldwork.
I also work as a teaching assistant, conducting biology laboratories at the University of Victoria, and as a Naturalist aboard whale-watching vessels.
Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, scuba diving, crocheting, and hiking.
Fun fact: I’ve backpacked through more than 20 countries and spent six months living in Kenya!
