Whitby is a town where families put down roots. Kids grow up in Pringle Creek, Williamsburg, Rolling Acres, Lynde Creek or Port Whitby, start at the local elementary school and expect to graduate from the same high school their older siblings did. Math is the one subject that can quietly knock a steady student off that path. One shaky unit in Grade 7 turns into a rough Grade 9, and the gap keeps widening. Online tutoring lets you catch it early, from your own kitchen table, with a tutor who knows exactly what comes next.
Math tutoring for Whitby students
We tutor Whitby students across Grades 1 to 12, plus AP, IB and first-year university, all online and by appointment. The first session is a short diagnostic to find where the understanding actually stopped, which is often a grade or two earlier than the current unit. Then we rebuild from that point, with custom practice between lessons so the progress sticks. Our tutors are university students who recently took these same Ontario courses, so they know which Grade 10 ideas come back in Grade 12 and how to explain them without the jargon. For a Whitby family that wants a calm, predictable year, that steady weekly rhythm is the whole point.
Lined up with what Whitby schools teach
Whitby 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 build our lessons around that curriculum so the work your child does with us matches the unit on their teacher's board that week, from number sense in the early grades through MTH1W and on to the Grade 12 courses universities ask for. Our high school math tutoring guide explains each course code in plain language, and our elementary math tutoring guide covers the foundation years. 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 fits a Whitby week
Whitby is Durham's commuter heart. Plenty of parents spend their weekdays on the 401 or the 407 and get home with just enough evening left for dinner and homework. Adding a drive to a tutoring centre on top of that is usually the part that breaks. Online sessions happen on a shared whiteboard where every step stays visible, and they slot into a weeknight or a Saturday morning whether you live in Brooklin, up past Taunton Road, or down by the lake in Port Whitby. Your child gets the same one-on-one attention, and the evening stays in one piece.

Do you tutor students in Whitby?
Yes. We work with Whitby students online, by appointment, from Brooklin in the north down to Port Whitby by the lake. Because lessons happen over video, your child is matched to the tutor who suits them best, and nobody loses an evening to driving across town after a long day.
Which Whitby 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 the help lines up with what is being taught in class that week rather than a generic workbook.
Is online tutoring as effective as in person?
For most students, yes. A shared whiteboard keeps every step visible, sessions fit around a Whitby commuter's evening, and there is no travel on either end. We start with a free 30-minute trial so you can see how your child responds before committing to anything.
What grades and courses do you cover?
Grades 1 to 12, plus AP, IB and first-year university. That covers early number sense, the Grade 9 course (MTH1W), and the Grade 12 courses Whitby students need for university applications, including MHF4U, MCV4U and MDM4U, along with everything in between.
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.
