Oshawa is Durham's biggest city, and with Ontario Tech University and Durham College right in town, post-secondary is not an abstract idea here. Families in Lakeview, Eastdale, Donevan, Northglen, Windfields and the newer streets off Taunton Road can see the campus on the drive home. Math is usually the course that decides which programs stay open. Online tutoring gives your child steady, affordable help from a tutor who sat in these same Ontario classes not long ago, without a trip across the city to get it.
Math tutoring for Oshawa students
We tutor Oshawa students across Grades 1 to 12, plus AP, IB and first-year university, all online and by appointment. Every plan begins with a short diagnostic, because a Grade 11 student struggling with functions is often really struggling with Grade 9 algebra, and we fix the real problem rather than the symptom. Our tutors are university students who recently took these same Ontario courses, so they know what engineering, nursing and business programs actually require and how to move a mark from the mid 60s to something that opens doors. Custom practice between sessions is included, so there is nothing extra to buy.
Built around the Oshawa classroom
Oshawa students mostly attend schools in the Durham District School Board or the Durham Catholic District School Board, both of which teach the Ontario math curriculum. We match our lessons to that curriculum so what your child practises with us is the same unit their teacher is covering, from early number sense in elementary school through the Grade 9 course and the Grade 12 courses colleges and universities look at. Our high school math tutoring guide walks through each course code, and our elementary math tutoring guide covers the early grades. 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 makes sense in Oshawa
Oshawa is spread out, from the lakefront in Lakeview up to Kedron and Windfields near the 407. A tutoring centre on one side of the city is a long haul from the other, and the drive adds cost and time that a family budget does not need. Online sessions run on a shared whiteboard where every step stays visible, and they fit into the evening or weekend that works for you. You also get a far wider pool of tutors, so your child is matched to the one who explains things in a way that lands, not simply whoever is nearest to Simcoe Street.

Do you tutor students in Oshawa?
Yes. We work with Oshawa students online, by appointment, anywhere from Lakeview in the south to Kedron in the north. Everything happens over video, so your child is matched to a tutor by fit rather than by neighbourhood, and nobody has to drive across the city for a one-hour session.
Which Oshawa school boards do you cover?
Both. We tutor students in the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board, and we follow the same Ontario math curriculum their teachers use, so what your child works on with us lines up with the unit happening in class.
Is online tutoring as effective as in person?
For most students, yes, and it costs a family far less in time. A shared whiteboard keeps every step visible, sessions fit around work and school schedules, and there is no travel to pay for. We begin with a free 30-minute trial so you can judge the fit before spending anything.
What grades and courses do you cover?
Grades 1 to 12, plus AP, IB and first-year university. That runs from early number sense through the Grade 9 course (MTH1W) and the Grade 12 courses Oshawa students need for university and college admission, 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.
