Online Tutoring for Vancouver Students

We teach Vancouver students online over Zoom. Our centre is in Surrey, so online keeps the whole session about learning rather than the commute, with the same tutors, the same structure and the same BC curriculum focus.

Local context

Tutoring for Vancouver Students

Students with the Vancouver School Board come to us most often for Pre-Calculus 11 and 12, Physics 11 and 12 and Chemistry 12, the courses where a strong mark matters for UBC and SFU applications and where individual attention makes the greatest difference.

Vancouver families usually come to us for genuine subject depth. Online suits that well: a specialist tutor, a shared whiteboard over Zoom, and a small group matched to the exact course the student is taking.

What they come to us for

Courses Vancouver Students Ask For

Vancouver students most often join us in Grade 11, when Pre-Calculus 11 and Physics 11 arrive together and the pace steps up. We also teach a steady number of Chemistry 12 students in the spring, and first-year UBC calculus students who want to match the university pace with confidence.

Why families choose us

Why Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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

Vancouver Neighbourhoods We Teach

We work with families right across Vancouver, including Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Oakridge, Mount Pleasant, East Van and the West End. 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

Vancouver is roughly an hour from our Surrey centre in weekday traffic, so Vancouver students are taught online over Zoom. Groups stay small and course-matched, which means a Vancouver student sitting Pre-Calculus 11 learns alongside other students sitting Pre-Calculus 11 that term.

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

Questions

Vancouver Tutoring FAQs

Can Vancouver students join in-person small groups?
In principle yes, but we would not recommend committing to a twice-weekly drive from Vancouver to Surrey in traffic. Our online groups run the same curriculum with the same tutors.
Do you help with UBC and SFU first-year courses?
Yes. First-year calculus and physics are a common request from Vancouver students, and we ask for the course outline so we teach to the right syllabus.
Do you teach IB or AP students?
We teach the underlying mathematics and physics, which covers most of what AP students need. For IB we would want to see the syllabus first and will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.
How do we book?
Call 604-725-6845 or use the enquiry form. We will ask about the course, the grade and recent assessments before recommending anything.
