Math, science & English tutoring in New Westminster

Who this is for

New Westminster sits right next door to our Burnaby base, so it's one of the easiest cities for us to reach in person. In practice that means we can offer New West families more choice of times than we can offer someone across the region, including the after-school slots that everyone wants and nobody can ever find.

The students we see here range from elementary kids who need someone patient to sit with them through fractions, to grade 11 and 12 students staring down a senior science course, to university students commuting out to campus and trying to keep first-year calculus from unravelling.

Local context

We work with families in Uptown, Sapperton, Queen's Park, Queensborough, Glenbrooke North and the Brow of the Hill. Most of our secondary students are at New Westminster Secondary, and we also support middle school students at Fraser River and Glenbrook.

Subjects we offer in New Westminster

• Math tutoring — Elementary number sense through calculus and linear algebra.
• English tutoring — Reading, essay structure, analysis and academic writing.
• Chemistry tutoring — Stoichiometry, bonding, equilibrium and thermochemistry.
• Biology tutoring — Cells, genetics, physiology, ecology and evolution.
• Physics tutoring — Kinematics, forces, energy, circuits and modern physics.

In person or online

In-person sessions in New Westminster include the standard $10 travel fee, since the city is outside Burnaby. Online sessions carry no travel fee and run over Zoom with a shared whiteboard, and they're available regardless of where in the city you are — useful in winter, during illness, or when a student is away.

Families here often mix the two: in person for the weekly session, online for an extra push before a test.

Why families here choose us

We're one-on-one, always. That means the pace is set by the student, not by the slowest or fastest person in a group of four. Lesson plans are built specifically for your child's gaps and their upcoming assessments, and we track progress from week to week so you can see whether it's actually working rather than taking it on faith.

We're also careful about tone. Most students who need tutoring have already spent months feeling stupid about a subject, and nothing improves until that changes. We start by finding what they do understand, then build outward from there. Parents get honest updates, including the unwelcome ones, and we'll tell you when a student is ready to stop.
