In-person tutoring, at a table with you.

How in-person tutoring works.

Your tutor comes to you. There is no centre to drive to and no fixed classroom, which means a session can fit around dinner, practice, or a shift at work. Everything written during the session stays with the student.

Seven communities across Greater Victoria.

We tutor in person in these communities. Each page lists the schools we work with locally and the spots our tutors tend to meet students.

Outside those seven, or on the Island somewhere we do not reach, online tutoring covers anywhere in British Columbia.

In-person tutoring for high school students.

We tutor BC high school students in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and science, following the British Columbia curriculum. Sitting next to a student tends to suit those who get stuck partway through a problem and go quiet rather than asking.

In-person tutoring for post-secondary students.

Our tutors studied at Camosun College and the University of Victoria, so they have taken many of these courses themselves. We meet students on or near both campuses as well as at home.

In person or online?

Both work. The honest answer is that the choice depends more on the student than on the subject.

In person tends to suit younger students, students who lose focus without someone beside them, and anyone who goes quiet instead of asking when they get stuck. A tutor sitting next to a student notices the pause before the student says anything.

Online tends to suit older and more independent students, families juggling tight schedules, and anyone outside our in-person area. It also costs less per session and produces a PDF of the notes every time.

If you are not sure, say so on the form. We will suggest one based on the student rather than guessing, and switching later is easy.

Questions about in-person tutoring.

What students say.

"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"

"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."
