Dragos is an experienced high school teacher, currently teaching Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at the Senior level in a prestigious private high school in Toronto, being also the organizer of the Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry contests in his school (like COMC, Euclid, Sir Isaac Newton, etc). He is successfully tutoring students in Mathematics and Sciences since 2010, mostly at the high school level.

He graduated from the University of Bucharest with the M.Sc. degree, having the highest marks of his Series.

After teaching for several years in Bucharest (for the last six years as a Science teacher at Michael the Brave, one of the most prestigious high schools in Romania), he moved to Toronto where he started to teach in January 2000. During all these years he taught all levels (especially final grades – 11 and 12) of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, both in French and English.

The main objectives of his career as an educator are to reveal to his students the beauty of Math, Physics and Chemistry, and to encourage them to discover the many bridges and logical connections between these subjects. He is always looking forward to guide new students and start working together to solve challenging problems.

His personal interests are martial arts, playing bridge, traveling, learning new languages and connecting with people of different cultures.

Monica got her degree in Physics at the “Babes-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. After a couple of years as a high school teacher, she completed Post University Studies in Biophysics and Environmental Physics. For her thesis she worked on a numerous projects with the University of Gant, Belgium. After this, she started her university teaching career as a TA at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. All of these changed the direction when she, and her family, decided to immigrate to Canada where a new chapter begins.

After a few part-time teaching jobs as a high school Math teacher, she started teaching Math and Physics Course in Seneca College, at the School of Electronics and Computer Science. Here she had the opportunity to participate in a variety of PD courses that helped to brush up her computer and communication skills. A teaching practical course helps her to combine the practical skills and the theoretical skills, and enjoys passing it on to students. Also, she achieved the Adult Teaching Certificate that helped her greatly in teaching young adults. About the same time, she has started teaching a variety of Math and Physics classes at the Elite Educational Institute.

As an instructor, she is an active member of Math Forum, and a college team that guides young facilitators. As a mother of one, Monica volunteered at her child’s school, and she administered the Romanian Children’s Choir, from 2008-2010.

Personal interests include hiking, tennis, gardening and reading.
