Who We Help
Tutoring isn't only for
students who are behind.
Some students arrive needing to close a gap. Others arrive already doing well and wanting more — a harder problem set, a head start on next term, a subject the classroom moves through too quickly. All of it is the same work: find where the student actually is, then teach from there.
Filling the gaps that quietly make everything afterwards harder, without embarrassment.
Steady weekly support through a demanding course, so nothing accumulates unseen.
Working forward into next term's material at a pace the classroom can't offer.
Provincial exams, unit tests and finals — practised under real conditions.
For students who finish early and are ready to be genuinely challenged.
Subject teaching and academic support during school hours. See homeschooling
Subjects
Three subjects, taught properly.
Grades 8–12
Mathematics
From number sense and fractions through the Workplace, Foundations and Pre-Calculus pathways — with the earlier gaps repaired rather than worked around.
Grades 8–12
Science
Science 9 and 10 — the vocabulary, the problem-solving and the lab reasoning that exams actually test.
Grades 9–10
Physics 11
BC Physics 11 specifically — kinematics, forces, energy and waves. The reasoning behind the formula sheet, practised until the problems stop looking unfamiliar.
Grade 11 only
Looking for a subject not listed? Ask during the consultation — if it isn't a fit, I'll say so.
How It Works
Three steps, and the first one costs nothing.
Book a Free Consultation
Tell me about your student and what they need. You can send homework or assignments ahead of time so I arrive already informed.
Build a Plan
We identify goals, strengths and gaps, then agree on the approach, the pace and the format that fits your family's week.

Credentials
A certified teacher,
not a tutoring service.
You are hiring one person, and these are that person's qualifications. There is no roster, no assignment process, and no substitute tutor on the weeks I'm busy.
More than two decades teaching math and science, with deep familiarity with the courses BC students are taking today.
A valid British Columbia teaching certificate — not a tutoring-company credential.
A current criminal record check, as required for working with children in BC.
Online Tutoring
Not a video call with homework held up to the camera.
Sessions run on a shared digital workspace, so we write on the same page, work through the same problem, and both see the reasoning as it happens. Available to families anywhere in British Columbia.
- Chosen around your student's device — a Chromebook, a school laptop, or a home computer.
- Written work we can both see — shared drawing tools, so the working is visible, not described.
- The same tutor every week — I keep the notes and the context.
- Flexible scheduling — evenings, weekends, or school hours.
- Anywhere in BC — Kelowna to the Kootenays to the coast.
The exact setup depends on the student's device and what they already use at school. We'll choose the simplest thing that works well for them, and sort it out before the first session.
Homeschooling
A teaching partner for
homeschool families
across British Columbia.
Our own family homeschools, so this isn't a category I accommodate — it's one I live in. I know how much a parent can carry, and where an outside teacher genuinely helps: the subject you'd rather not teach, the one that's moved past you, the enrichment you don't have hours left for.
Sessions can run during school hours and fit around the rhythm your family already has — online for homeschool families anywhere in British Columbia, or in person here in Kelowna.
Take one subject off your plate entirely — taught, tracked and assessed.
Daytime sessions, so evenings stay yours.
Extension work for a student who's ready to go further than the plan.
In Person · Kelowna
Across the table, in Kelowna.
Some students simply work better in the same room, and in-person tutoring in Kelowna is a service I actively offer — not a fallback for when online won't do. I come to the student's home, or we meet at a public library, whichever suits your family.
For in-person sessions you can pay cash when I arrive, or online by card — whichever is easier.
At the student's own kitchen table, where the space works.
A neutral, quiet table — often the best option for teens.
After school, evenings, or during the homeschool day.
Twenty-plus years inside BC schools and their courses.
Pricing
Talk to me. Let's figure out
what your student actually needs.
No packages to buy up front, no subscription to cancel, no pressure to commit to a term before we've met. Pay for the sessions you book. If tutoring stops being the right thing, we stop.
One price, one session length, online or in person in Kelowna. Same tutor every week. Online sessions are paid by card; in-person sessions can be paid in cash when I arrive.
A free 15-minute consultation about your student — not a sales call, and not a tutoring session.

Pick a time that works and tell me what your student is working on. If you can, attach a photo of recent homework, a test, or an assignment — it lets me understand where they are before we even speak.
