Mackenzie Douglas (He/Him)
Hey everyone! My name is Mackenzie (Mack), and I hold a joint degree in applied mathematics and physics. I have been tutoring with EDUCO for one year, and I very much enjoy meeting new students who have a passion for learning. The courses I enjoy tutoring are both math and physics. If you have a passion for math and/or physics, I look forward to helping you further your understanding of the material. I also know some great YouTube channels that make amazing content about math and physics! When I am not tutoring or studying at Memorial, I love spending my time doing 1,000-piece puzzles, immersing myself in the world of video games, or simply enjoying the night sky.
Michael Gregory (He/Him)
Hi! My name is Michael, and I hold a Master’s degree in Pure Mathematics from the University of Waterloo and a Bachelor’s degree in Pure Mathematics and Computer Science from Memorial University of Newfoundland. I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring mathematics, including working as a teaching assistant, as well as six years of experience teaching music to young students. I am passionate about helping students develop a strong understanding of mathematics and become more confident in their problem-solving abilities. I can support students at all grade levels, from elementary and high school mathematics through to university-level mathematics. I strive to create a supportive and approachable learning environment, tailoring my teaching to each student’s individual needs, goals, and learning style.
Taylor Planke (She/Her)
Hi! I’m Taylor, and I’m going into my fourth year at Memorial University, where I’m majoring in Linguistics and minoring in Psychology. After I graduate, I’m hoping to continue my education and pursue a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology! I’ve always really enjoyed working with kids and have lots of experience through tutoring, coaching, volunteering, etc. I’m an outgoing and patient person, and I always try to make tutoring feel comfortable and encouraging rather than stressful. I know everyone learns differently, so I’m always happy to slow things down, explain something a different way, or go through it as many times as we need to! Outside of school and tutoring, I love spending time with my friends and family, staying active, and being around people in general. I’m really looking forward to another year with EDUCO and getting to know the students I’ll be working with!

Rodney Priddle (He/Him)
Hi there! My name is Rodney Priddle, and I’m a Bachelor of Science graduate from Memorial University with a major in Pure Mathematics. I am currently pursuing a second degree in education. While this is my first year with Educo, I have been tutoring high school math privately for the last 15 years. I am available to tutor all levels of math from K-12 and any university math at the undergraduate level. My philosophy with tutoring has always been to tailor each session to the learner’s specific needs. I aim to create a learning environment where the student feels comfortable asking questions and developing their ability to learn in a way that makes sense for them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and producing music. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
