What we teach

Math, Science and English Tutoring in Surrey, Grades 1–12

Math tutoring in Surrey is our largest programme, and every subject is taught by a specialist who knows the BC curriculum and the exam.

Grades 1–12. Number sense, algebra and the foundations that senior mathematics is built on.

Pre-Calculus 11 and 12. Functions, trigonometry and the foundation university programs assume.

Calculus 12 and first-year university. Limits, derivatives and integrals taught from first principles.

Physics 11 and 12. Forces, motion, energy and circuits, taught so the reasoning is always clear.

Chemistry 11 and 12. Stoichiometry, equilibrium and organic chemistry with real problem practice.

Biology 11 and 12. Systems, genetics and terminology, structured so the material stays with the student.

Grades 8–10 Science. The bridge into senior Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

Grades 1–12. Reading comprehension, essay structure and clear written argument.

Our approach

We Teach Students to Understand What They Are Learning

Strong Fundamentals

We confirm which foundations are already secure and build the ones that are not, so every new topic rests on something solid.

Clear Explanations

Concepts are explained from first principles, in plain language, until the student can explain it back.

Structured Practice

Deliberate practice on the question types that appear in class tests and provincial exams.

Individual Support

Small groups mean the tutor sees every student work, every session — and every student is heard.

Subject Specialists

A team organised by subject and grade, so senior Physics is taught by someone who knows Physics.

Confidence Through Understanding

Confidence follows competence. Once a student genuinely understands, the marks follow.

“This year, Jagjit tutored me for Physics 12 and Pre-Calculus 12 and I can confidently say he is the best tutor I’ve ever had. He is super friendly and passionate about what he teaches… I started off Physics 12 with 69% and ending with 91% and I started Pre Calculus 12 with 68% and ended with 86%. Would highly recommend to everyone!”

“Jag is the BEST tutor ever. His way of teaching is AWESOME. I have been studying with him for 2 years (since grade 10) and my results have improved tremendously. I went from low 90s to very high 90s in grade 10 and even got 100% in Chem 11 and Pre Cal 11.”

“My son joined Jag’s tutoring school with a C in Calculus. We’d tried several tutors before with minimal success. With Jag we moved from a C to an A. But most importantly my son got confidence in mathematics.”

★★★★★
“I’ve tried a few physics tutors and most of them would just give me the answer and move on, which honestly didn’t help at all. Jag is nothing like that. He actually walks you through the reasoning so you understand what’s going on… I went in way more confident than I ever had before.”
