At an unofficial capacity, Shae has been assisting peers with essay writing and the editing of papers for most of their university degrees, and officially worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Calgary.

Each piece written varies greatly, but the fundamental skills remain the same, such as outlining, development of thesis statements, or the application of literary devices.
In their free time, Shae dabbles in poetry, narrative writing, and is an avid reader of the fantasy genre. Shae graduated from the University of Calgary with an undergraduate degree majoring in Archaeology and minoring in Anthropology, and subsequently, a master’s degree in Archeology.

Callum has well over three years of experience with tutoring, although his passion for helping others to learn extends far beyond then.

However, this quickly became a regular occurrence as he began to discover how much he loved teaching others, and seeing the results in his friends’ appreciation instilled a lifelong love of learning deep within him. Since graduating high school, Callum has consistently pursued opportunities to help others learn, including highly successful private tutoring with several students, some with learning disabilities, as well as working at tutoring centers. Callum has consistently seen great results with his students; his ability to simplify complex topics, explain them in multiple different understandable ways, and instill a sense of independence and confidence in his pupils puts his tutoring far above the rest. Callum frequently encourages his students to be introspective in their learning process; he often employs Socratic questioning to help his students become better learners in general, not just in a specific topic. Additionally, because of his extensive experience, Callum is both kind and patient with his students; unlike many teachers and tutors out there, he understands the struggles that students may face in their learning and empathizes with them. Overall, he aims to create a safe and understanding learning environment where his students feel safe to ask questions and be themselves.
Callum was born in Fort Worth, Texas, although he has lived in Calgary since he was three years old. In high school, Callum took AP math, calculus, physics, and chemistry, and he consistently performed at the top of his class.
