Welcome to The Math Guru!
A boutique math & science tutoring studio in Uptown Toronto that offers all programs in-studio AND online!
Our Philosophy
Can we let you in on a little secret? There’s no such thing as a “math person.” “Math people” don’t exist. But good teachers do. And we have those. See, being good at math and science is about SO much more than mastering curriculum content - it’s about tapping into each student’s needs, and finding a way to make math and science make sense - to THEM!
Our Tutors
We get it. Tutoring doesn’t feel great if you're with the wrong person. That's why we make it our mission to match you with the PERFECT tutor for YOUR learning style. All of our tutors are young, fun, patient, kind, smart, and above all, inspiring! Our goal is for you to leave every tutoring session feeling like OMG that was THE BEST HOUR OF MY LIFE! For real. That happens basically every day over here!
Our (Super Cool) Space
We have a theory that everywhere that math is traditionally learned…smells gross. Is that weird? Think about it - it’s true! We think that one of the most important things about learning, is loving your learning environment. That’s why our tutoring studio is designed to make you comfortable, relaxed, and well, just happy to be here. Think coffee-shop-meets-yoga-studio-meets-your-best-friend’s-house. That’s our vibe, and guys - we use all-natural Saje diffusers with scents proven to improve focus and energy - so it smells reallllly good here!
What We Offer
We are currently offering all of our programs both virtually and in-studio!
Private Tutoring
One on one tutoring is the most effective and intensive way to get up to speed, build confidence, and start seeing results! Most students book consistent weekly sessions for the entire year with a tutor they love. Others simply book when they need help. Whenever you need us, we're here for you!
Rate: $85/hour
Workshops
There is so much more to mastering math and science than just curriculum content. That's why we're always hosting workshops covering topics like study skills, exam strategies, and overcoming math anxiety. If you've got something you'd like us to cover - let us know!

Summer Bootcamps & Programs
We know how it is - all that sunshine, heat & humidity tends to melt away hard-earned math knowledge. How awesome would it feel to enter your new math class feeling totally prepared and confident?! Our bootcamps will cover the key concepts learned over the previous year, ensuring that the necessary pre-requisite skills are in place.
