The Best Tutoring Centres in Vancouver

Here are our top picks of Vancouver-based tutoring centres. We only listed centres with professional tutors and flexible scheduling.

1. OOTB Tutoring

CLASSES	Math, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Science, and English
WEBSITE	https://ootbtutoring.com/
ADDRESS	8806, 141A St Surrey, BC V3V 7W5 Canada
CONTACT DETAILS	604 725 6845 ootbtutoring@gmail.com
OPERATING HOURS	Open 24 hours

OOTB Tutoring’s services are like a breath of fresh air. From Math to English, they’ve got a tutor for every subject.

It’s like having a personal cheerleader who helps you conquer academic challenges with a smirk on their face.

Convenience is the name of the game, and OOTB Tutoring nails it. We love that they offer online sessions, so you can wave goodbye to the days of rushing through traffic just to get to a tutoring center.

No more excuses for being fashionably late to your tutoring sessions!

OOTB Tutoring has built quite the street cred in the education world, which blew us away. They’re like the cool kids at school who always have the answers.

We know we were in good hands when even our kids’ teachers were taking notes from their tutors.

But hold up, we can’t ignore the cost factor. Don’t worry, OOTB Tutoring won’t break the bank.

They know education is a serious business, but they also know how to have a good time without emptying your wallet. It’s like getting a private tutor without having to sell your kidney on the black market.

However, their tutee slots can get filled up very quickly. So we advise booking an appointment with them ahead of time to avoid any disappointments.

2. MyGradeBooster Tutoring Vancouver

CONTACT DETAILS	(778) 773-5507
OPERATING HOURS	Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM

MyGradeBooster offers the best tutoring services in Vancouver right in the comfort of your home. Thanks to the safety of this setup and its tutors’ flexible schedules, this tutoring service can teach children as late as 9 PM. 

This tutoring centre is open for students from grade 1 up to high school taking up math, chemistry, physics, science, and english subjects. It also has skills development classes such as the public speaking program. 

It claims to have increased grades for over 80%-90% of its students. As a satisfaction guarantee, MyGradeBooster promises to refund payment should customers be dissatisfied with their tutoring session. 

MyGradeBooster follows a formative assessment tutoring approach, which we like because it means its staff can adjust according to the students’ reactions and reception to lessons. This way, its tutors can also match their student’s learning styles, available schedules, and academic levels. 

Aside from teaching lessons, MyGradeBooster helps students with exam anxiety as part of the preparation for higher education.

MyGradeBooster also features an online member portal where students and parents alike can access materials and other tools. This tutoring service even accepts numerous online payment options for convenience.

Customer Reviews

Breaks down content to understandable pieces

“As a prerequisite for a university course, I recently upgraded my high school sciences. I found Chemistry 11 to be extremely intimidating as it seemed like another language to me. Mehrnaz was able to break down the content into understandable pieces through teaching me simple techniques that I could use; the following week, I got 90% on my midterm! From this experience, I would highly recommend her tutoring services because of her patience and skill in knowing how to teach.”—Nicole Parente

Helped achieve high marks, dedicated and knowledgeable tutors

“I am very pleased with MyGradeBooster tutoring services. They helped my daughter to achieve high marks in math and science.  The tutors are very knowledgeable and dedicated to their job. I highly recommend MyGradeBooster to the parents who are looking for an exemplary tutoring service.”—Souzan B.

3. Sealy Tutoring

CLASSES	Math, pre-calculus, calculus, science, biology, chemistry, physics
WEBSITE	http://sealytutoring.com/
ADDRESS	1836 W 5th Ave #203, Vancouver, BC V6J 1P3
CONTACT DETAILS	(604) 900-9808
OPERATING HOURS	Monday – Thursday: 8:30 AM – 7:00 PM Friday: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM Sunday: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Sealy Tutoring brands itself as the best tutoring in Vancouver for math and science classes. Its tutors help students understand underlying concepts and theories, solve problems, and even prepare for final exams. 

To make its services as effective as possible, Sealy Tutoring makes sure its tutors are knowledgeable as well as fun and engaging. It even offers summer classes as early preparation. 

We also find it really helpful that Sealy Tutoring has a drop-in tutoring service. Here, students can work on problems and ask as many questions as they want within the 3 hours per session. 

This may be a better option for students who need more than the standard 1-hour of tutoring sessions and who can’t necessarily make routine visits. Besides, the drop-in session even has a free trial!

Additionally, we like that this tutoring centre offers various venue options such that students can either be tutored in their own homes or in the centre. Another thing that we find makes Sealy Tutoring accessible is that it offers online tutoring services, too.

While it’s available on Sunday afternoons and early evenings to prepare students for the first day of weekly classes, it isn’t available on Saturdays. 

Customer Reviews

Excellent and immediate results, excellent knowledge and resources

“My daughter is an excellent student in school but needed to bring her Science mark in line with her other grades.  From the week Christian showed up to enhance her knowledge of Science her grades began to climb.  We have had excellent immediate results! He is very personable, speaks her teenage language, and makes the topics fun and easy to learn.  He has an excellent knowledge base of the material and is a skilled teacher.  I would recommend Sealy Tutoring to anyone wanting a quality tutoring service for their child.”—Marty Pospischil

Super helpful, flexible scheduling, reasonable costs

“If I can give them more than 5 stars I would .  My son is currently taking physics and he was being overwhelmed by the amount of material .  Our regular tutor was not available and I came across Sealy. Right away Christian was super helpful as I told him it was urgent As we needed a tutor for the next day. He arranged for my son to meet Brayden. I remembered how stressed he was and when I picked him up after the session he was smiling.  The prices are good for the quality of instruction and they have a drop in session from 4-7 everyday that is really convenient. Thanks Christian and Brayden.”—Jake Tsui

Unfortunately, CMC Tutoring also has limitations as it only accommodates students during weekday afternoons. Luckily, it still has whole day operations on weekends. 

And what it lacks in availability, it makes up for the affordability of its tutoring sessions offered. CMC Tutoring even offers online tutoring sessions as a way to minimize the exposure of its students. 

Additionally, we find CMC Tutoring extra accessible as it offers its services in two other languages, so that native speakers of Vietnamese and Chinese can still enroll at CMC Tutoring.

The K Method is a tutorial center that helps individuals to speak English effectively, professionally, and with confidence as well. Founded and operated by Andy Krieger, he has developed a 5-step approach that he applies to each student he handles and produces consistent results.

He has gone through a wide range of multidisciplinary training and has even experience in the film industry to reinforce the accent-centered approach that he capitalizes in.

Understanding the need to immerse students who have strong accents such as Cantonese, Japanese, and European, each session with him lasts for 2 ½ hours to efficiently teach the student a language delivery system that is consistent and effective.

Past students have commended his methodology and teaching to be motivating and reflective in a way that each one takes an initiative to practice the skills taught for each session and evaluate one’s communication skills.

Other than the usual session with Andy himself, students also receive other resources to better make each session immersive, such as a DVD and follow-up sessions on any platforms they wish all free of charge.

Customer Reviews

Here are some reviews from their clients:

“Andy’s sessions were really great. They gave me a chance to reflect on my communication skills, specifically my accent. I know I have to practice to make what we have learned in the sessions stick, therefore I’ll try to allocate some time for it.”

“The Accent Reduction Class of Mr. Krieger, though, conducted only four times, is an excellent refresher session for speakers of English as a second language.  It satisfies the 3 modes of learning: Cognitive-theoretical inputs on speech development; psychomotor-actual practical learning on uttering appropriately various words in a way that is comprehensive on the part of the receiver of the message; and affective-appreciating the art of mingling and learning from the class trainer and classmates. The utilization of audio-visual technology makes the teaching-learning very effective.”

We think well of their classes because they’re one-on-one and this can help build confidence. Plus, you can get immediate feedback. 

What’s more is that their program allows you to learn at your own pace and get your money’s worth! 

Although, a downside for others may be that they only offer English classes. So, if you’re looking for a centre that offers tutorials for different subjects, it would be best to look at the others in the list. 

Customer Reviews

Here are some reviews from their students:

“I came to Canada without any knowledge of English. It was a challenge for me to make progress without lots of help. I was really lucky that I found an advertisement for Fluency Tutors in a library that changed my life forever. I studied every week for two years and I spoke English better every month. To be honest, it has been a long run because nobody learns English overnight. It is a long process that requires a lot of attention. I am happy that I decided to learn English quickly. Now I can get a better job and make more money. Basically everything is easier for me than before. I would highly recommend learning English online with Fluency Tutors.“

“Fluency Tutors is the best experience I’ve ever had. They connect people around the world and help students to speak and improve their English language skills. The tutors are friendly and very helpful. I totally recommend them!”
