Hands down best tutor around. Jag has made pre-calculus 12 into a not so daunting course. His notes and methods of teaching are extremely efficient and easy to understand, and it has helped me from being a 70% student to an 86%. He motivates all his students to get the best mark they can get and encourages them to keep trying their best.

Jag is an excellent tutor and has his own way of teaching certain concepts that helps you remember them. He covers every chapter that everyone is on and for the people who are on different chapters, it puts them ahead. The class has a comfortable atmosphere and doesn’t make you feel left out. I would 100% recommend this place.

Jag is the best tutor I have gone to. He teaches the subjects really well and repeats lessons to make sure we have a very good understanding of the concept. I was able to tackle harder questions because Jag boosted my confidence from his teaching since he covers all types of questions and helps us learn the key concepts very well. The atmosphere in the class is relaxing and fun so there’s no pressure in learning key concepts. I really recommend going to OOTB Tutoring if your tackling grade 12 courses such as Pre Calculus 12, Chemistry 12 and Physics 12.

I had a great time here! Ootb has tremendously helped me for Pre calculus 12, math being one of my weakest subjects. I couldn't ask for a better tutor. The results were remarkable. In November 2016 I started getting tutored at ootb. My mark was 52%. The semester has now ended. In just 3 months, I went to 80%. Definitely worth it. In reality, I enjoy math now. I recommend ootb!

I'm a year ahead In math and I wasnt doing very well in pre-calc 11. As soon as I started going to ootb my grades picked up and I began understanding the concepts so much better and quicker and I ended up completing the class with a grade higher than I expected. Jag was really helpful and his notes were clear and easy to understand. If I ever had any questions about anything I could always ask jag and he would have the answer. Totally recommend going to ootb.

ONLINE TUTORING IN VANCOUVER

Like all learning institutions, we’ve adapted our approach to an online medium. We have successfully converted our existing resources to online lectures and tutorials, which are now available for Grades K-12. This includes materials for Math, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science and English. In addition to pre-recorded material, we also offer live tutoring sessions, using Zoom / Skype in combination with virtual whiteboards and other virtual aids. This means that students can enjoy a seamless experience from wherever they are. In a live session, we will focus on a specific problem or topic, and address it comprehensively, with questions of progressive difficulty. In addition, we allocate time for assisting students with homework and exam preparation. Though remote, our tutoring staff remain fully engaged with their students, monitoring progress, and reviewing past work so as to make sure that knowledge is retained.

Our Courses

Math Tutoring in Vancouver

Math is loved by few and dreaded by many, and it is also needed by all. It is a key part of any high school or elementary curriculum, and is vital for success. We believe that Math does not need to be a source of panic or despair. The reason it often is regarded as such, is because of less-than-adequate support in earlier learning years. This has a cascading effect that makes it harder to progress in later years. Our approach? Start from the fundamentals, and help students to develop problem-solving skills, rather than just memorizing formulae and methods. When you teach in this way, we've found that students not only progress faster, but actually learn to love Math instead of fear it! Our tutors make the complex simple, bringing questions back down to earth and breaking them into solvable pieces. They also keep students interested by making the questions relatable, using real-life situations and using real-life objects. Last but not least, this process is fast, compressing 3-4 years of study into just 12 months! Using this approach, we had a Grade 7 student successfully complete Pre-Calculus 12!

Physics, as the name suggests, is about understanding physical reality - the world around us and the forces that shape it.

We design our elementary and high school physics lectures to be in line with the up-to-date BC Math curriculum, and ensure that our tutors are fully-versed in the required materials and concepts, spanning all grades. We strive to add a dash of fun to every class, by using live apparatus to demonstrate what we are teaching, increasing engagement.

It is possible to unlock much of the insights from Biology by understanding the underlying logic that applies to the field. Our teachers are uniquely able to deliver this mode of teaching, thanks to this perspective. Our materials are wide-ranging, and our presentation methods are sophisticated while being easy to comprehend. In addition to providing opportunities for regular learning, we offer assistance with homework and also provide a 'crash course' option ahead of exams.

Professional and Affordable Tutoring in Surrey, BC

The OOTB philosophy sees every pupil as an individual. This means that no single approach to teaching is the ‘right’ approach, although we do adhere to some basic principles that make our approach successful. What we aim to do is to build on the strengths of a child and encourage them to develop an intrinsic passion for learning. ‘Personalization’ is one of our watchwords. This means keeping an eye out for the learning style that best meets an individuals student’s needs. Another important element is the learning environment, where no one is afraid to put a hand up and ask for more information or a deeper explanation. The fundamental goal of OOTB is to give you, as a parent, peace of mind that your child will succeed in their exams, that learn rather than ‘memorize’, and that develop a positive attitude that will stay with them as they continue to learn in their life and career. Whether in Math, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science, or English, our goal is to give the peace of mind that your child can achieve their potential. We make lessons fun and engaging, and tailor them to the needs of the individual student, because this is the approach that works.
