I work with Grade 11–12 students who want to genuinely understand mathematics — not just follow steps and hope for the best. My goal is for every student to leave a session feeling clearer, calmer, and more confident.
Support for students aiming to close learning gaps, strengthen fundamentals, develop fluency in problem-solving, and prepare for tests, exams, and university pathways.
Calm, patient, one-to-one support with over 15 years of teaching experience across secondary and postsecondary education in the UK and Canada — and a genuine love of the subject.
I hold a PhD in Electronics Engineering, an MSc in Software Systems, and Qualified Teacher Status in Mathematics from the UK. I currently teach mathematics and computing at postsecondary level in Ontario.
But credentials only tell part of the story. What I bring to every session is something harder to put on a CV: I often sense when a student is overwhelmed, anxious, or quietly stuck before they fully express it themselves — and an instinct for where the gap in understanding really is, not just where the mistake shows up on the page.
I genuinely care about each student as an individual. As both an educator and a parent, I understand the pressures students and families face during these important years — and that shapes everything about how I work. Students tend to feel at ease very quickly, and that's when the real progress happens.
Each course has its own pace, its own pressure points, and its own way of tripping students up. I know these courses well — including what different teachers tend to emphasise — and I tailor sessions accordingly.
I also work with Grade 9–10 students who want to build strong foundations ahead of senior mathematics.
Understanding maths is different from memorising maths. My approach is designed to build the kind of deep understanding that holds up under exam pressure — and beyond.
Mistakes on paper are symptoms, not the diagnosis. I look further back — to find where understanding broke down — because fixing the surface without addressing the root rarely helps.
I have a natural way of working through complex ideas — finding the angle that clicks for this particular student, not just the standard explanation. When something makes sense, it stays with you.
The short-term goal is always the grade they need. But the deeper aim is genuine independence — the ability to face an unfamiliar problem and trust their own thinking, not freeze.
I take into account what each student is currently covering — and that every teacher approaches topics slightly differently. Sessions are informed by what's happening in their classroom right now.
As AI increasingly handles routine calculations, the ability to reason mathematically becomes more important, not less. The students who will thrive are those who can think logically, question results, and understand what's actually happening — not just those who can follow a method.
Mathematical understanding is one of the strongest foundations for that kind of thinking. I don't just teach students to pass exams. I try to give them something more durable: the ability to reason clearly when it counts.
I accept a limited number of students each term. That's not a marketing line — it's how I maintain the quality and care that I think every student deserves.
Not only did my daughter achieve the grade she needed, but the sessions made a real difference to her confidence and overall well-being.
Parent of a Grade 12 student, Canterbury, UKThanks for a fun and informative class — I wanted to find out exactly where I went wrong and how, because I actually want to understand it.
Postsecondary student, 1st semester, TorontoThe way the material was explained made a real difference in how I was able to follow and stay engaged.
Postsecondary student, 2nd semester, TorontoRates depend on course level, the student's individual needs, and whether sessions are online or in-person. This is always discussed transparently during the free initial consultation — no surprises.
In-person tutoring takes place in Vaughan, Ontario. Students attending in person are expected to travel to the session location.
Sessions are primarily offered during evenings and weekends, to fit around school and family schedules.
Yes. Online sessions are available for students across Ontario and are structured in exactly the same careful, one-to-one format as in-person sessions.
Get in touch using the form below. I offer a free initial consultation to understand the student's situation and make sure the support is a genuine fit — for the student and for the family.
A free initial consultation is the right place to start. There's no commitment involved — just an honest conversation about where your child is, what they need, and whether I'm the right person to help.
