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

Hi! I'm Anmol, a second-year PhD student in mathematics at Memorial University of Newfoundland. With over three years of tutoring experience, I've had the pleasure of helping students of all ages, from kids to adults, each with unique needs and learning styles. As a Teaching Assistant at MUN, I’ve worked with a variety of math courses, including those from engineering, science, business, and more.My approach focuses on making math both engaging and understandable through visualization and creative tricks. You won't ever hear me assume you "must already know" something—every lesson starts with your understanding, and we build from there. Whether you need skill-building from scratch or want to strengthen existing knowledge, I am committed to training you in a way that makes math both approachable and enjoyable, helping you unlock the exciting possibilities that math offers! Let’s solve your math problems together—because with the right approach, everything adds up!

Mostafa Roknizade (He/Him)
Hello! I am a Ph.D. student at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where my passion for science began with a fascination for the connection between chemistry and everyday life. My love for teaching developed during high school when I helped my classmates, and I further honed these skills while earning my B.Sc. through tutoring high school students and working as a teaching assistant. During my master's program, I gained more experience tutoring undergraduate courses. Now, I am excited to join EDUCO, eager to take on new challenges and enhance my teaching abilities by learning from my students. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports like volleyball, soccer, and ping pong, reading sci-fi novels (I’m a big fan of Harry Potter), and unwinding with video games at the end of the day.
