Online Tutoring for Burnaby Students

We teach Burnaby students online over Zoom, with the same subject specialists who teach at our Surrey centre. Burnaby families are close enough to attend in person if they prefer, and many choose online for the time it saves on weeknights.

Local context

Tutoring for Burnaby Students

Students in the Burnaby School District come to us most often for senior Math and the sciences, including Pre-Calculus 11 and 12, Physics 11 and 12 and Chemistry 11 and 12, and for Grade 8 to 10 Math, where strong foundations are built for the senior years.

Burnaby is around 30 minutes from our Surrey centre depending on traffic, so in-person is realistic for weekend sessions. We are happy either way, and plenty of families mix the two.

What they come to us for

Courses Burnaby Students Ask For

Burnaby students come to us most often for Pre-Calculus 11, where quadratics and trigonometry reward genuine fluency from Math 10, and for Physics 11 and 12. We also teach a good number of Grade 8 to 10 Math students whose families want strong foundations in place before the senior years.

Why families choose us

Why Burnaby Families Choose OOTB

Taught by subject specialists

The team is organised by subject and grade, so senior Physics is taught by someone who lives in Physics rather than by whoever is free that evening.

Small groups that stay small

Small enough that the tutor sees every student work in every session. No one sits at the back of a room of twenty and quietly falls behind.

Founded and run by an engineer

Jagjit Uppal founded OOTB in 2010. He read Engineering Physics with an Electrical specialisation at UBC and is a Professional Engineer. The senior maths and sciences are his own subjects.

How it works

How a Burnaby Student Starts

  • Start with a trial classA $50 trial class, online or at the Surrey centre. It is a real lesson, not a sales meeting.
  • We find the actual gapMost struggles in a senior course trace back to something from an earlier year. We work out which one before planning anything.
  • Then weekly sessionsSmall group at $370 a month for four hours a week, or one-on-one and exam preparation at $40 an hour. Same tutor each week.

Full pricing for every programme is on the programs page.

Areas we cover

Burnaby Neighbourhoods We Teach

We work with families right across Burnaby, including Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Deer Lake and Edmonds. Sessions are booked by course and term, so every student is taught by the same specialists wherever they live in the city.

Visiting Our Surrey Centre

Burnaby is one of the closer cities to our Surrey centre, roughly half an hour outside peak traffic, so in-person is genuinely workable, particularly for weekend small groups. A number of Burnaby families run a hybrid: online midweek, in person on Saturday.

Our centre is at 8806 141A Street, Surrey, BC V3V 7W5. See the Surrey tutoring page, programmes and pricing, or real student results.

Questions

Burnaby Tutoring FAQs

Is it worth driving from Burnaby to Surrey?
For weekend sessions, often yes. For twice-weekly weeknight sessions, most Burnaby families prefer online. We are happy with either and you can switch.
Can we mix online and in-person?
Yes. Several Burnaby families do exactly that: online midweek and in person at weekends.
Do you have weekend sessions?
Yes. Saturday and Sunday sessions run from 9:00am to 9:00pm, which is when most Burnaby families choose to come in person.
Can my child join mid-term?
Yes. Most students start mid-term. We work from their most recent assessments rather than from the start of the textbook.
