“I have known Brian since I was in high school and he has been helping me with math since that time. Brian has helped me with finite math, calculus, and algebra. He has tutored me in all my math courses in my first two years of university, and I am now entering third year and I still have all of Brian's notes to help me with my future math courses. Thank you Brian for all the time you have spent with me and especially all those critical just before exam moments. Brian you really know your math.”

Salem, Civil Engineering

“Brian is highly competent at teaching mathematics. He is able to clearly explain difficult concepts and equations in calculus in a time efficient manner. After my first few tutoring sessions, I received an excellent result in my calculus exam. I highly recommend Brian’s tutoring to anyone who is seeking high academic results.”

Michael, Honours Science

“I pretty much went through my whole first term without learning a thing in calculus and ended up failing it miserably. I spent two hours a week with

Brian second term and learned all the material from my first two calculus courses in only one term thanks to his help. I never had a question that he wasn't able to answer and it was because of this that I passed calculus in my second term.”

Kyle, Electrical Engineering

“Brian is by far the best university math tutor I have had. He has tutored me in four University of Waterloo Math Faculty courses over a year and a half, and has never disappointed. Brian knows his stuff front to back. He can solve any problem on the spot, and can shift from course to course without any difficulty. If necessary, he will take a problem home to work on, and get back to you with a solution usually within twenty-four hours. Brian does not just teach math because he has to, he does it because he fully enjoys it, and will always give more of an explanation than anticipated. If you hate math, or are having some difficulty then Brian is the perfect tutor for you!”

Pooja, Honours Economics

“I found Brian's contact through a friend who had used him for calc 127. I have used Brian’s services for both Calculus 127 and 128 and I can honestly say that without him, I would never have passed. He has the ability to bring everything down to your level of learning, he explains everything clearly and goes over it again and again until you get it. Brian has always amazed me because he always knew the answer to every question and did not need to look up anything in his notes or reference other materials to find the answer, it was all in his head. I highly recommend using Brian’s tutoring services, It worked for me. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.”

Krystal, Honours Science

“When I met Brian, I was nearing the end of a difficult semester of linear algebra, during which I had neglected to learn even the basic course concepts. Brian helped me dig myself out of this hole to pass my final. Plus, because of Brian’s upbeat attitude and good sense of humor, the tutoring sessions were always fun and enjoyable – or as much as they could be, studying linear algebra…I recommend Brian to anyone whose math professor leaves them dazed and confused at the end of each class. There’s no reason to give yourself a headache trying to learn math from the textbook when a personal tutor like Brian can explain concepts to you in a way that makes sense. Thanks, Brian!”

Jenelle, Management Sciences

“Brian knows all the math material inside out. Any questions I had, he knew the answers to. His explanations are clear and thorough. He really let me understand the concepts. From knowing nothing about linear algebra, and cringing at the thought of the subject, a few lessons from him throughout the term helped me achieve a 98% final grade in my linear algebra course.”

Kyla, Civil Engineering

“I had Brian help me with my calculus courses during my second and third year of university. He is great at explaining concepts and filling in the missing parts. He really knows what he's talking about. I would recommend him to anyone who is having trouble with math!”

Elizabeth, Civil Engineering

“After struggling through a tough first year in math at UW, I was thrilled to find a tutor like Brian who could teach me the ins and outs of any math course I threw at him. Brian is a great help in explaining difficult concepts, assisting with assignments, and preparing for exams. He is extremely talented at what he does and has a passion for math that shines through in the way he tutors. I recommend him for anyone who needs help in math as I found him to be a lot more helpful than most of the math profs at UW.”

Kerri, Three Year General Math

“Brian truly knows the ins and outs of mathematics. His communication of knowledge in math is exemplary and my success in Differential Equations can be directly attributed to his assistance. His pleasant demeanor and disposition made the sessions both productive and comfortable.”

Kevin, Three Year General Math

“My first year math grades were in low and mid 60s. Now in my second year, my goal is to reach at least 70s in my math courses, and so I sought Brian for help in Math 239 and Stat 230. In the end, I did not just receive a mere 70, but 81 for Math 239 and 82 for Stat 230. I must credit Brian for this effort and big thanks to him for helping me throughout the semester. Don't feel embarrassed when seeking for help, Brian is there to help.”

Eric, Honours Computer Science

“Brian knows each course forwards and backwards, allowing you to maximize each tutorial session and achieve great results.”

Blyth, Environmental Science

“Brian allows seemingly impossible material to become not only understandable but very interesting by bringing sincere enthusiasm and extensive knowledge to each and every session!”

Mark, Mathematics/Business Administration

“Brian has helped me through the first years of university whether it was in calculus, algebra, or statistics. Being an international student, I had some difficulty with the basics in math, however Brian has helped me through it all. Every question I had, he was able to explain and give me as much examples as I needed until I understood it. After I started to take sessions with him I stopped being afraid of enrolling in tough mathematics courses. I recommend Brian to anyone who is looking for a good tutor for mathematics.”

Hussein, Honours ComputerScience

“Who would have thought that someone could actually make me like math? Especially calculus! I can’t even begin to explain how much I hated math before I met Brian, and not only that but I was really bad at it. He is a great tutor! When I didn't understand something, he would go over it and over it again to make sure I fully understood. One of the greatest things about his tutoring is that he never got frustrated with me. Brian gave me really good tricks for remembering certain math concepts. Brian's an amazing tutor, he made math fun! :) ”
