I work with students who want to do well in mathematics — and genuinely understand it, 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. All support is aligned with the Ontario curriculum.
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.
My background spans engineering and education in equal measure — a PhD and MSc on one side, formal teaching qualifications and 15 years in secondary and postsecondary education on the other. That combination is deliberate: deep subject knowledge and the ability to explain it clearly are both essential, and neither is enough on its own.
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 currently teach mathematics at postsecondary level in Ontario, and as a parent myself, I understand what's at stake in these years.
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, 2nd semester, TorontoSessions are priced at $100 per hour — in line with specialist one-to-one tutoring at this level in Ontario. Rates are always confirmed during the free initial consultation, with no hidden costs or 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.
