I've been tutoring for over eight years, and a big part of what drives that work is personal — I have ADHD myself, so I genuinely understand what it feels like to sit in a classroom and have things not click the way they're supposed to. That experience shapes how I show up for every student I work with, especially those who are neurodivergent or have been told they just need to "try harder."

My background is in Health Sciences with a minor in Early Learning from SFU, and I'm trained in DIR Model techniques and positive reinforcement strategies. My sessions tend to focus on IB English, sciences, and classical piano — and a lot of the work goes beyond the content itself, helping students figure out how they actually learn and building systems that make things feel more manageable.

I am currently studying Biological Sciences at university! I have a passion for the sciences and my main focus is IB English, Biology and Chemistry.

As an IB DP alumni myself, I understand how IB can be very stressful and overwhelming so I aim to create a supportive, safe environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing skills.

Hi there! I'm Hillary and I've always been very passionate in the studies of understanding human behaviour and supporting others. With a major in Psychology and a minor in Education, I'm on the path to becoming a licensed therapist. More than anything, I believe that everyone deserves a safe, understanding, and nurturing space to grow and that's something I bring into my tutoring as well.

I strive to make learning a supportive and engaging experience, meeting each student where they are and helping them build confidence in their abilities. My goal is to not only help with academics but also to create a space where students feel encouraged and empowered to succeed!
