Ayman Halime
"The most rewarding aspect is witnessing students exceed their own expectations and achieve outstanding success. Seeing students build their confidence to tackle high-level math problems through encouragement is one of the many highlights."
Math TeacherOttawa
Krista Guescini
"Recently, a former student reached out to me, to let me know that she is studying environmental engineering. Years ago, when I taught her, she was terrified of math. She wanted to let me know that my class gave her the confidence to pursue a career in STEM and that challenging math courses are now among her favourites."

Nancy Al Joukhadar
"Teaching is not a profession; it is truly the most rewarding vocation! Getting students to replace “I am not good at a certain skill" into “ I love learning about that same skill” feels to me like I have conquered the world!"
“I started at Blyth in 2015 teaching a single private course—and I’ve grown into a leadership role I never imagined back then. The support I received along the way, from mentorship to real opportunities to step up, made all the difference.”
