Hugo Bui

All Subjects & Science Fair Coach · Grades 1–8

I'm Hugo, the founder of HugoPrep. I started it because I remember what it feels like to be stuck on something and too nervous to ask for help. I tutor all core subjects for grades 1 to 8: math, science, English, French, you name it. My approach is about building real understanding, not just memorizing answers for a test. I also coach UTS entrance exam prep, gifted program prep, and hands-on science fair projects from the first idea to the final board. On the research side, I helped build an AI system that predicts wildfire smoke and won Gold at the 2026 Toronto Science Fair. Whether your kid needs to catch up, stay ahead, or prep for something big, I'll meet them where they are and make sure the work actually sticks.

Ryan Zander

Math & Science Tutor · Online Only

I started tutoring because I remember what it feels like to be stuck on something and too nervous to ask for help. I tutor math and science for grades 1–8. My approach is about building real understanding, not just memorizing answers for a test. I break down concepts step by step so they actually click, without rushing or skipping over what matters. I also offer UTS entrance exam prep and hands-on science fair coaching. I've had real teaching experience as a TA at Brain Power, where I helped run an interview prep course for 24 students, so I understand how to explain things clearly in both classroom and one-on-one settings. Outside of tutoring, I built an AI-driven wildfire smoke prediction system that won Gold at the 2026 Toronto Science Fair, which reflects my strong background in math and science. Whether your child needs help catching up, staying ahead, or preparing for something big, I'll meet them where they are and make sure the work actually sticks.

Why HugoPrep

Get the best with real student tutors

What makes learning with us different from the rest.

Current Students

We're not remembering school from ten years ago, we're living it right now. We know the current curriculum, test formats, and what teachers actually look for.

Been Through It

UTS admissions, gifted testing, science fairs, we went through them recently. We share what actually helped, not just what's in a prep book.

Peer Connection

Kids learn better when comfortable. We're close in age to our students, so it feels more like working with a helpful older sibling than sitting in another class.

Proven Track Record

Two students at one of Canada's top schools, both Toronto Science Fair gold medalists. We practice what we teach.
