Why Choose MATHCUBED?

calculator closeup photoSINCE 1992, MATHCUBED has grown on the strength of countless word-of-mouth referrals from parents, math teachers, guidance counselors, and educational psychologists.

 

 


Why are we so successful?

  • We specialize in math exclusively
    • In fact, we’re the only Ottawa tutoring centre that does so.
  • We know the math curriculum and KCAT (Knowledge, Communication, Application, Tips) inside out
  • We emphasize understanding the math not memorizing it
  • We run a well-organized, goal-oriented program
  • We do an 85 minute assessment with each student before they start tutoring
  • We regularly provide detailed Progress Reports with timely, constructive feedback
  • We only tutor 1-on-1; students feel more comfortable working 1-on-1 than in groups and we can get much better results this way
  • We provide an atmosphere that is conducive to learning, where students can feel relaxed and respected
  • We have the experience (est. 1992) plus an excellent track record (see below)

Student Comments

My grades are double last year's. This tutoring allows me to grasp math concepts thoroughly. There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this tutoring! (Sir Wilfrid Laurier, gr. 12C)

What I like best about the tutoring is that I learn the math concepts and where they come from, not just memorization but knowing why I'm doing something. That is very helpful. (Canterbury, gr. 9 )

I like how the tutor is teaching me. I feel I'll reach my goal because my test scores are higher, I'm more efficient in math, and I'm already doing very well. (Ashbury, gr. 9)

 

Parent Comments

Our daughter's final Calculus mark will be 91%. Needless to say, she is over the moon and we are delighted for her. Please accept my very sincere thanks for all the help and guidance you and your team have given her throughout her senior high school years. She developed very special relationships with each of her tutors and happily attended all her sessions. The confidence she attained in her math has also helped her other subjects in which she had done equally well. All credit to you Edison for developing an excellent team of tutors. (Immaculata, Gr. 12 Calculus)

Our daughter's performance in math is solid now. We like MATHCUBED's attention to detail, disciplined approach and 1-on-1 attention. This is an excellent program. (Canterbury, gr. 11)

Our son's marks have gone up, his confidence has gone up, and his stress has gone down. We like the positive, friendly nature of everyone and the fact that it is student focused. (Deslaurier, Gr. 9 IB)

What I like about the tutoring at MATHCUBED is that my son is very comfortable with his tutor and he has consistently brought home good test results and is much more focused. (Earl of March, gr. 9)
