All Subjects & Science Fair Coach

I started tutoring 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 1โ€“8: math, science, English, French, you name it. My approach is about building real understanding, not just memorizing answers for a test. I also do UTS entrance exam prep, gifted program prep, and hands-on science fair coaching. Whether your kid 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.

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 1โ€“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, gifted program 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.

Services

Learn in less time

Four focused services designed to help you build real skills and confidence. Pick what fits, or let's figure it out together.

All-Subject Tutoring

Math, science, English, and more. We cover all core subjects for grades 1โ€“8 with a focus on actually understanding the material, not just getting through homework.

Grades 1โ€“8Hugo & Ryan

Science Tutoring & Fair Coaching

Our strongest area โ€” we both won Gold at the 2026 Toronto Science Fair. Whether you need curriculum help or hands-on coaching for your own science fair project, we've been through it.

Gold Medalist CoachesHugo & Ryan

UTS Entrance Prep

We both go to UTS. We took the entrance exam. We know what they're looking for. We'll help you prepare for the exam and interview so you walk in confident.

Exam & InterviewHugo & Ryan

Gifted Program Prep

Getting ready for gifted screening or testing? We'll help you build strategies that work and go in with confidence. Not cramming โ€” learning to show what you're capable of.

What makes learning with us different from the rest.

๐Ÿ“–

Current Students

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

๐ŸŽฏ

Been Through It

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

๐Ÿค

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.
