In my last year of high school, I dropped Grade 12 Advanced Functions. I wasn’t sure I was cut out for math. A teacher who believed in me helped me find my way back — first through a bridge course, then into the Mathematics program at McMaster.
I went on to take challenging courses like real analysis, multivariable calculus and linear algebra. That experience still shapes how I teach: with patience, encouragement and the belief that a tough subject can become a little less intimidating with the right support.

Part tutor, part cheerleader. I’m here to help you learn how to think, ask good questions and become a more independent learner.
Online sessions use a shared whiteboard, so we can solve problems, annotate examples and ask questions in real time. Here’s a special angles trigonometry problem from a live session.
The same rate applies to all listed subjects and course levels, including university, AP and IB support. Prices are in Canadian dollars per 60-minute session. Your first 60-minute session is free.
