Math + science tutoring that just hits different.
Personalized math + science tutoring built around one simple idea: the right tutor can change everything.
We help kids get better at math AND feel better about math both online & at our boutique midtown Toronto studio!
Whatever’s going on with math or science, we’ve got you.
Maybe your child is falling behind, struggling with homework, or working SO hard without seeing it reflected in their grades.
Maybe they totally get it at home but panic the second there’s a test, or they’ve decided they’re just “not a math person” and their confidence has taken a hit.
Maybe they need that extra boost to get the marks they need for university - or maybe they’re already crushing it and want to STAY crushing it.
Wherever they’re at, we’ll meet them there - and help them get where they want to go!
But why The Math Guru?
Tutoring isn't just about finding a tutor. It's about finding the right one!
Can we let you in on a little secret?
There’s no such thing as a “math person.” “Math people” don’t exist. But good teachers do. And we have those. See, being good at math and science is about SO much more than mastering curriculum content - it’s about tapping into each student’s needs, and finding a way to make math and science make sense - to THEM!
Here’s what make us so special!
We know how to teach
Great tutoring isn't just about knowing math or science - it's about knowing how to explain it in a way that actually clicks. Our tutors are knowledgeable, patient and seriously good at meeting students exactly where they are.
We know how to find your match
Kids learn better when they actually like the person they're learning with. That's why we thoughtfully match every student with a tutor they'll connect with - someone they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and being themselves around.
We get the emotional stuff
I started The Math Guru because I know firsthand what it's like to believe you're just "not a math person." (Spoiler: I failed Grade 11 Math TWICE before a teacher changed my life)! We don't just help students improve their skills and grades - we help them build the confidence to see what they're actually capable of.

Our Tutors
We get it. Tutoring doesn’t feel great if you're with the wrong person. That's why we make it our mission to match you with the PERFECT tutor for YOUR learning style.

Our (Super Cool) Space
We have a theory that everywhere that math is traditionally learned…smells gross. Is that weird? Think about it - it’s true! We think that one of the most important things about learning, is loving your learning environment. That’s why our tutoring studio is designed to make you comfortable, relaxed, and well, just happy to be here. Think coffee-shop-meets-yoga-studio-meets-your-best-friend’s-house. That’s our vibe!

Before you go, here’s a personal note from our founder, Vanessa Vakharia
Hi, I’m Vanessa! 👋
I am SO glad you found us. I started The Math Guru because I failed Grade 11 math twice - then somehow ended up with a Master’s in Math Education. 😂 So yes, I’m pretty convinced that being “bad at math” is not a thing and that being not a “math person” is definitely not a thing!
I’m also a math educator, high school math teacher, author, speaker, podcast host and play keytar & sing in a rock band called Goodnight Sunrise - but TMG is where it all started, and I’m SO proud of the little math-loving (or at least math-hating-a-lot-less) community we’ve built here. 💕
