Tutoring Services
Students who are struggling in math will usually also have a hard time remembering to bring home their work, understand what they need, or identify what they don’t understand.
Organizing their own tutoring session is a lot to ask any child, but especially one who is already feeling behind, overwhelmed and lost.
Most tutoring is a band-aid solution and doesn’t fix the real problem.
Helping a child with tonight’s homework isn’t the same as teaching them mathematics.
I have, and continue to teach middle and high school students for nearly 20 years. In that time I have developed something most educators don’t have — a complete understanding of exactly how middle school mathematics builds on itself from elementary through high school, where students get lost, and what it takes to bring them back.
The Toxero program is designed to highlight common student errors and fix them before they even start. It’s more than going through the questions your child’s teacher assigned. I pulled problems from hundreds of resources, and wrote my own when they didn’t exist. Practice and exposure to the right problems that help your student learn.
Traditional tutoring gets a kid through the week.
Toxero changes a child’s entire school experience.
How We Are Different
Every student starts at the Toxero beginning – regardless of what they are doing in class. The gaps causing problems today were created years earlier. We find them, we fill them, and we build from there.
Once your student has all the foundational knowledge, they explain what they are doing in class, and the correct work is pulled – already on pre-prepared slides and questions from the workbook.
Sample Worksheet Slides
No need to upload homework, buy extra cameras or argue with your child about what they are doing in class. Each session is informed by what the child is doing in school, but driven entirely by what they actually need. The learning moves quickly. In one hour a week, students typically cover the equivalent of a full month of Grade 6 classroom instruction, two weeks of Grade 7, and one week of Grade 8.

The Effect on Confidence and School
A huge number of the students that have learned from the program have gone on to pursue degrees and careers in science and mathematics. They fall in love with doing well — and then carry that confidence into all their classes.
When a student who has struggled for years works with someone who deeply understands what they are teaching, they begin to recognize the difference. They learn that they are capable of learning – just under the right circumstances. With newfound confidence, they start asking more questions when they don’t understand, they probe deeper, they help their friends in class. They begin to believe they are smart and doing well in all aspects of school is easily within their reach.
