Why Surrey Families Choose OOTB Tutoring
Parents looking for the best tutor in Surrey usually want proof rather than claims. Here is more than a decade of recognition in Surrey, and genuine Google reviews from the families who have actually sat in our classrooms.
“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.”
“OOTB has significantly amplified the quality of my learning this year. Jagjit does an excellent job explaining concepts and provides students with lectures and practice questions in addition to weekly interactive live sessions.”
Expert Tutoring Built Around Your Child
Jagjit Uppal founded OOTB Tutoring in Surrey in 2010 with a simple goal: help students understand what they are learning, build strong fundamentals, and achieve better results. He holds a degree in Engineering Physics with an Electrical specialisation from UBC, is a Professional Engineer, and brings more than 20 years of combined STEM, teaching and practical engineering experience.
OOTB is built around a team of carefully selected subject specialists, with students matched to tutors based on their grade level, subject and individual learning needs. Senior-level Math, Physics, Chemistry, English and Calculus are taught by tutors with strong subject expertise and a clear understanding of the BC curriculum.
Every tutor is selected and trained to follow the OOTB approach: strong fundamentals, logical problem-solving, clear explanations, and genuine understanding that lasts. Our goal is to give students the knowledge, confidence and problem-solving skills to succeed independently.
Over the years, more than 5,000 students have learned with OOTB Tutoring, with many continuing on to leading Canadian universities including UBC, SFU, the University of Toronto, Waterloo, McGill, the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary.

Subjects We Tutor in Surrey
Math tutoring in Surrey is our largest programme and it is where most families begin with us. Every subject is taught by a specialist who knows the BC curriculum and the exam, so a Grade 11 Pre-Calculus student and a Grade 4 student working on times tables are each taught by someone who teaches that level every week.
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.
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.
Getting Started Takes One Phone Call
Tell Us What Your Child Needs
A short conversation about the subject, the grade and the results you would like to see.
Choose the Right Program
Small group, one-on-one or online, whichever genuinely fits the student.
Start Learning
A $50 trial group class, so you can see how we teach before committing.
Build Understanding and Results
Structured sessions, steady progress, and marks that reflect real understanding.
Three Ways to Work With Us
Every new student starts with a $50 trial group class, so you can see how we teach before committing to anything.
Small-Group Tutoring
Two sessions a week, two hours each: four hours weekly, about $21 an hour.
Best for students who need consistent structure through the school year. Small enough that the tutor sees every student work.
One-on-One Tutoring
Fully individual sessions, in person in Surrey or online over Zoom.
Fully individual sessions, in person at our Surrey centre or online over Zoom. Ideal for focused progress on a specific topic, preparation before an exam, or a student who benefits from undivided attention.
Exam & University Prep
Provincial exams, school finals and first-year university Calculus and Physics.
Focused preparation on the exact question types the paper will test, worked under timed conditions so the format is not a surprise on the day.

More Than Tutoring: The OOTB Story
At OOTB Tutoring we believe the best learning happens when a student truly understands what they are doing, not when they memorize the steps for the next test. That belief is what OOTB was built on.
For more than ten years we have helped Surrey students build stronger foundations, gain confidence and get better results in Math, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science and English. Some students come to us because they are struggling and need a concept explained a different way. Others are already doing well and want the extra support to reach the next level.
Whether a family is looking for a math tutor in Surrey, a physics tutor in Surrey, a chemistry tutor in Surrey, a calculus tutor in Surrey, an English tutor in Surrey or broader academic support, our approach stays the same: understand the student first, find where the gaps actually are, and teach the material in a way that finally makes sense.
Our tutors are experienced subject specialists who take the time to explain the why behind every concept. We focus on strong fundamentals, clear explanations, guided practice, and the confidence a student needs to eventually solve problems on their own.
Today OOTB Tutoring has taught more than 5,000 students, and we still work to make every one of them feel like they are getting personal attention. Parents know their child is being supported, and students know they have someone to turn to when school starts to feel overwhelming.
That is what we want OOTB Tutoring to be for Surrey families. It is the place you can trust when your child needs academic support, more confidence, or a stronger challenge.
What to Look For in a Math Tutor in Surrey
Surrey has plenty of tutoring available, and the parents who are happiest a year later are usually the ones who asked a few specific questions at the start. These are the ones worth asking of any math tutor in Surrey, including us.
Who will actually teach the session? At larger centres the person who answers the phone is rarely the person in the room. Ask for the tutor’s subject and the grades they teach every week. At OOTB the tutors are subject specialists and students are matched by grade and subject.
How will the earlier gaps be found? A Grade 11 student working through Pre-Calculus often needs a few hours on fractions, negative numbers and factoring before the new material settles. A good first session diagnoses that. We begin by confirming which foundations are already secure and rebuild only what genuinely needs rebuilding.
Is it aligned to the BC curriculum? Math 8 through Pre-Calculus 12 follows a defined provincial sequence, and tutoring that follows a different textbook adds work rather than removing it. Every session we teach is aligned to the BC curriculum, including Provincial exam preparation.
Can you see the teaching before committing? A term is a long commitment to make on a phone call. Every new student starts with a $50 trial group class, so the teaching is something you judge rather than something you take on trust.
