Marissa Taylor (She/Her)
Hi!! I’m Marissa! I’m currently completing social work as a second degree at Memorial University, while previously completing a psychology honours degree at Grenfell Campus! I will be focused on tutoring a variety of subjects at the primary/elementary level, but I’m also here to help with any Psychology, English or any other electives at the post-secondary level! For some students school work can become overwhelming, and I hope to help alleviate some of that stress by providing a safe and welcoming environment to learn in a way that works best for the student. Everyone has different strengths, and it’s important to find ways to enhance those by finding a path that will allow the student to be the most successful. Outside of tutoring you’ll find me getting some school work done, painting crafts for my small business or scurrying off to one of my other student jobs
Lauren Anstey (She/Her)
Lauren is finishing up her last semester of her Bachelors degree in Biochemistry (Nutrition). After discovering a passion for teaching during her time at Explore in Toronto, she decided to pursue education and is set to begin her second degree in the fall of 2025. Being a lifeguard and swim instructor for 5+ years has given her an appreciation of all of the different ways students learn. She has a passion for French and Math, and hopes to spread that enthusiasm!
Lauren loves her dog Zeus and spends most of her time walking him, painting, baking or doing crafty things. She’s happy for joining EDUCO and can’t wait to continue building student’s confidences and help each school day be a little bit easier:)
Gina Tuck (She/Her)
I completed my Bachelor of Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2023 with a major in Biochemistry and minor in Chemistry. Prior to this, I graduated with honours from Mount Pearl Senior High. I specialize in math, science, chemistry, biology, and physics at junior high, high school, and university/post secondary levels. While at MUN, I worked as a chemistry laboratory teacher assistant. Outside of tutoring, you can find me drawing, painting, and travelling. I am very excited to be a part of the EDUCO team and have the opportunity to help students reach their goals!
Katie Kelly (She/Her)
My name is Katie and I’m a 3rd year science student majoring in Human Bioscience at Memorial University. I’ve been tutoring in various positions since I was in grade 10 and I’m so happy to be with EDUCO now! When I’m not studying or tutoring you can find me in a lab coat at my research job, curled up with a book, or spending time outdoors; I love camping and hiking! I’m a firm believer that learning should be a good experience for everyone and helping people succeed and reach their goals is something I am very passionate about!
Makenna Nolan (She/Her)
Makenna is a third-year student at Memorial University with a major in linguistics and a minor in psychology! In her spare time, she loves to spend time with family and friends, discover new hiking trails, and read a good book! After working as a coordinator with a summer reading program for the last two summers, she is thrilled to begin tutoring with EDUCO and meet all the wonderful students. She specializes in French and English but also loves to tutor in science and math. She is very passionate about helping others, and is very excited to help the students at EDUCO build their skills and confidence!
