Ajax is young and growing fast. New subdivisions keep filling in around Audley and north of Taunton Road, while older pockets like Pickering Village, Applecroft, Nottingham and Westney Heights hold families who have been here a while. A lot of households have kids in Grade 3 and Grade 8 at the same time, and a lot of parents are still learning which schools and which programs suit which child. What helps most in that stage is a math tutor who stays. Online tutoring makes that possible, because the right tutor is never the one who happens to be nearby.
Math tutoring for Ajax students
We tutor Ajax students across Grades 1 to 12, plus AP, IB and first-year university, online and by appointment. Every plan opens with a short diagnostic, because a wobble in Grade 7 fractions or Grade 10 quadratics usually has one specific cause, and we fix that first. Custom practice between sessions keeps the progress from leaking away. Our tutors are university students who recently took these same Ontario courses, so they explain things the way a slightly older student would, which lands well with kids who are tired of being lectured. For a young family in Audley or Nottingham, it is help that fits the house, not the other way around.
Keeping pace with what Ajax schools teach
Ajax students mostly attend schools in the Durham District School Board or the Durham Catholic District School Board, and both teach the Ontario math curriculum. We align our lessons with that curriculum, so the work your child does with us matches the unit their class is on, from counting and place value in the early grades through to the Grade 12 courses that university programs ask for. Our high school math tutoring guide lays out the course codes, and our elementary math tutoring guide covers the early years where good habits start. Grade 9 students in both boards also write the provincial EQAO Grade 9 math assessment, and our EQAO Grade 9 math guide explains what is on it and how to prepare.
Why online suits a growing Ajax family
When a town grows this quickly, the tutoring options tend to lag behind the subdivisions. A new street off Audley Road may be a long way from any centre, and a tutor met in Grade 4 can vanish by Grade 6. Online tutoring fixes both. Your child works one-on-one on a shared whiteboard where every step stays visible, from your own kitchen or the room upstairs, and the same tutor can stay with them from elementary school through MTH1W and on to the Grade 12 courses. Lessons fit around soccer at the fields, a walk on the waterfront trail, and the GO train schedule, with no driving on either end.

Do you tutor students in Ajax?
Yes. We work with Ajax students online, by appointment, in Pickering Village, Applecroft, Nottingham, Westney Heights, Audley and the newer streets still being built. Lessons run over video on a shared whiteboard, so your child is matched to a tutor for fit, and that tutor can stay with them as they move up through the grades.
Which Ajax school boards do you cover?
Both of the main Durham boards. We tutor students in the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board, and we follow the Ontario math curriculum their schools use, so our lessons keep step with what is being taught in the classroom.
Is online tutoring as effective as in person?
For most students, yes, and for a young Ajax family it is often the only way to keep one tutor for years. A shared whiteboard keeps every step visible, sessions fit around siblings and sports, and there is no drive to a centre that may not even exist near a new subdivision yet. The free 30-minute trial lets you see how it works.
What grades and courses do you cover?
Grades 1 to 12, plus AP, IB and first-year university. That takes an Ajax student from early number sense through the Grade 9 course (MTH1W) and on to the Grade 12 courses universities look for, including MHF4U, MCV4U and MDM4U.
How much does it cost?
Solo lessons are $40 per hour and small-group classes are $25 per student per hour, with custom practice material included. You start with a free 30-minute trial.
