"I'm returning to studying after many years and I needed some guidance in developing practical and effective study habits. This proved to be a bit overwhelming for me so I decided to consult a tutor, and I'm glad I did! I had a great experience with Matt at Heywood Academies. He is kind and patient, and took his time to thoughtfully answer all of my questions and provided me with an actionable approach to engaging with my study material. I highly recommend getting in touch if you're looking for a tutor! Thanks again Matt"

How tutoring works.
We find the gaps
We find where a student's understanding breaks down, then build the tools to study effectively on their own. Every session ends with a copy of the notes.
You book, we bill automatically
Online booking and automatic billing make it simple to schedule and pay, in person in Victoria or online anywhere in BC.
You settle into a rhythm
2 hours a week if you're feeling behind, 1 hour a week if you just want extra reps. Tutoring works best done regularly.
Math, physics, chemistry, biology.
Our science, math, and engineering tutors have extensive backgrounds in these courses. A strong foundation in math is essential for post-secondary STEM programs.
Camosun College & UVic, covered.
Multiple mechanical engineering tutors, educated at Camosun College and UVic, cover 1st-year general engineering and 2nd-year mechanical courses: Heat Transfer, Statics, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Dynamics, and Thermodynamics.

What students say.
"Loved how easy it was to book my tutor whenever I needed a session. There were always sessions available I could just book when I needed them which worked well with my busy schedule."
"It was pleasant working with Matt. We worked on specific problems I was struggling with. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend it to any student who needs help."
"My daughter is in first year engineering and was struggling with matrix algebra. On her behalf, I contacted Heywood Academies. Matt got back to me right away and set my daughter up with an excellent, friendly tutor and her marks have improved significantly. Thanks to Heywood Academies, both my and my daughter’s stress levels have come down."
"I started tutoring with Matt because I was struggling with my first year Physics and Calculus courses at UVic. I had tried a couple of other tutors before Matt, but Matt was by far the most patient and intelligent. He ended up getting me through all of my Calculus levels and Matrix Algebra. I cannot recommend him enough."
