Beth Duchesne

Resource Teacher

Welcome to Math Plus Tutors! My name is Beth Duchesne and I would like to share with you my background in special education, a dynamic field that I have been privileged to be a part of for the past twenty eight years. I have received certification through both the Geneva Centre for Autism and the W.Ross McDonald School for the Deaf and Blind, and have obtained a B.A. in Psychology (with distinction) from the University of Windsor. My twenty eight years of working with students struggling with learning, behavioural or developmental difficulties have taught me to recognize each child as their own specialist in learning. I believe in taking a holistic approach to tutoring – it is solely by respecting each child’s unique approach to learning that educational goals can be attained. I love working with students looking to build their reading/writing and math skills from both grade school and high school. Planning lessons, integrating games and activities plus searching for resources to better serve my students is my forte. I look forward to helping your child in the near future.

Jordan Tremblay

English/History Teacher

I have a Bachelor of Education degree from Western University. Prior to that, I attended King's University College with honours major in history and a minor in English. I have also completed several additional qualification courses, including intermediate math and special education. I have spent the past several years tutoring elementary and high school students, as well as young adults with special-needs through STEPS program. I also volunteer with special-needs classrooms in Petrolia. In my experience, every student has the potential to do well. If they are struggling, it means that a different method of teaching is required. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, and I hope to pass that quality on to my students. My areas of expertise are English, reading/writing, history, math and literacy skills for young adults.
