UVic tutoring in math, physics & engineering.

UVic courses we tutor.

First and second year, across four subject areas. These are the courses we work on regularly.

If your course is not listed, tell us the code and we will let you know whether we cover it. We add courses as we take them on.

What we have written about UVic.

Free guides on the courses UVic students ask us about most.

Try the free help on campus first.

UVic runs drop-in help that costs nothing, and for a lot of students it is enough. The Math and Stats Assistance Centre, office hours, and peer tutoring all exist for exactly this. We have written up what is available and when to use it.

Tutoring is worth paying for when you need someone who knows your specific course, when the free help is too crowded to get to your question, or when you have a midterm in two weeks and cannot afford to stay stuck. If you have already failed a midterm, that is usually the moment.

What students say.

"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."

"Been looking for a tutor and this just feels right. Not only tutors but resources that keep you going, too! As an engineering student, they are very helpful. Totally worth it!!"

"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."

"Super easy to communicate and schedule with, and the tutoring really helped with the final push through Physics 11."

★★★★★

"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."

Where we meet, and what it costs.

In-person sessions happen wherever suits you: on campus, at the McPherson Library, at a coffee shop nearby, or at home. Most UVic students we work with live in Saanich, Oak Bay, or Victoria, all of which we cover in person.

Rates

• $70 per 50-minute session online
• $95 per 50-minute session in person
• Prepaid 8 sessions: $520 online or $720 in person, a $40 saving

Prepaid hours never expire and are refundable, less a $35 administration fee.

There is also provincial funding some students qualify for. We covered it in this guide to StudentAid BC and tutoring.
