Kate starts her seventh year with Squamish Tutoring! Kate raised her family in Squamish, and has just retired from Squamish Library. The library community misses her, but we have gained a great support, full time, for our students. Kate has become our "expert" at tutoring Math 9 and 10, and this year is taking on the challenge of Math 11!
Loraine
Loraine joined our team two years ago. Loraine has a strong background in physics from her home country of Chile. She works full time as an engineer at a local engineering company, but enjoys helping students with "real" applications in Physics 11 and 12.
Cathy

We are fortunate to keep Cathy on staff for another year. After moving to Squamish 5 years ago with her husband, Cathy has had to balance many demands - part time work for UBC, consulting, family, and of course a life of activity in Squamish. Cathy loves to tutor Chemistry, but also excels in working with Math 10 and 11.
Uthpala
We are fortunate to welcome Uthpala back, now in her third year with us. Uthpala brings experience from teaching math in Sri Lanka to work with our junior level students, Grades 7, 8, 9. She is excited to be back again, and we hope to expand her availability this year!

We are fortunate to welcome Anu as she and family re-locate to Squamish. Anu is currently working in the local school system with younger students. However, from her background heading a Chemistry department at university level, she loves helping students make sense of the complexities of Chem 11 and 12.

Jasreen
Jasreen's background in academics is not getting the "exercise" her math brain wishes. So she joins us this year to keep math "alive" for herself, and for the Math 9 students she will be working with. She knows very well the preparation they need to be ready for high school level math!
