Meet Our Tutors

Michael Zhuhovitsky

Founder & Tutor in Math, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus

I started out working as a tutor when I was in high school and since then have gained 12+ years of experience with helping students achieve and maintain their academic goals in Math and Sciences. Along the way, I completed my BSc in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Calgary and gained industry experience before deciding to pursue opening my very own tutoring center.

I started Ace It Tutoring not only to help students achieve the success and confidence that plays a pivotal role in University admissions but to also develop the critical thinking skills that will help them throughout their lives. As part of this mission, I personally interview, hire, and train each tutor to ensure they have a comprehensive understanding of the Alberta Math and Science curriculum and how to break down complex theories into simple concepts.

Daniel

Math, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus

My tutoring philosophy

I believe that practice makes perfect, and working through problems is the best way to understand concepts on a deeper level. My approach involves guiding students through examples while allowing them to make the connections themselves, so that they can gain confidence in the material and better apply their knowledge independently.

What I enjoy about tutoring

My favorite thing about tutoring is helping students become more confident in themselves academically, and start to enjoy the process of problem-solving and improvement.

Plans for the future

I graduated from the International Baccalaureate program at Western Canada High School in 2021. Now I am studying for my Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Calgary.

Connor

Math, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus

My tutoring philosophy

I enjoy being a part of the learning process and helping students achieve their goals

What I enjoy about tutoring

Helping students succeed in subjects I love to teach

Plans for the future

I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Calgary.

Jeremy

Math, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus

My tutoring philosophy

I like to build students’ confidence in their own abilities by using the Socratic Teaching Method, which helps students recall information and thought processes that they already possess. When this is not enough, I switch to a more direct teaching method to cover the information a student might be missing.

What I enjoy about tutoring

Knowledge enables people to do amazing things. And being part of the process to spread knowledge is a rewarding thing for me. Especially since there have been

moments where I have relied on tutoring.

Plans for the future

I am a recent Chemical Engineering graduate, with experience in the field of green energy research. As of now I am applying to various process engineering positions for engineering firms seeking to construct and operate new chemical production plants.

Jayden

Math, Biology, Physics, Calculus

My tutoring philosophy

With the right support, every student has the potential to achieve their academic goals and I'll help where I can to ensure they feel confident and excited about getting there.

What I enjoy about tutoring

Aside from being great concept reinforcement for myself, helping students believe in their abilities and taking some stress off of homework and tests is what I like most about tutoring.

Plans for the future

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science as a Biology major at the University of Calgary.

David

Math, Chemistry, Physics , Calculus

My tutoring philosophy

I believe in tutoring students at their own pace to ensure that they can grasp the material in whatever method or amount of time they require. My approach involves working with students through examples and encouraging them to ask any questions if they are confused about anything.

What I enjoy about tutoring

While I enjoy being able to review fundamentals I learned in high school and improving my own teaching ability, my favorite part about tutoring is helping students find more success academically by helping them gain confidence in their subjects.

Plans for the future

I plan on finishing my degree in biomedical engineering with a minor in software engineering at the University of Calgary. After my degree I currently have my sights set on applying and enrolling in med school.
