Founder’s Story
Hi, my name is Matt Heywood!
I was born and raised on Vancouver Island and studied mechanical engineering before starting a tutoring company.
After moving to Victoria, I completed the Mechanical Engineering Technologist Program at Camosun College in 2017 followed by the Bachelor of Engineering Program at the University of Victoria in 2020.
I graduated at the top of my class and won multiple awards for my academic achievements.
After working as an application engineer, I founded Heywood Academies in 2021 with the goal of passing on everything I learned from my mechanical engineering background to new students.
I also work as an Instructional Assistant in the Science Help Center at Camosun College where I help college students with their physics assignments, lab reports, and with studying for their tests.
The years of tutoring individually and in group settings have given me the expertise to quickly identify gaps in student’s knowledge and the means to address those gaps, tailoring my approach to each student’s unique learning style.
