Canadian families have hired tutors in India for a decade, and most of what they find is a marketplace where the tutor changes, the method is Indian and the time is wrong. This is the other kind: a small team of master's-qualified women teachers in Chandigarh, the same tutor every week, teaching your child's own provincial curriculum in the order the school uses, at a time that suits a Canadian school day.
Every class is one tutor with one child on a shared whiteboard: a five-minute recap, the new topic explained with diagrams, guided practice where the tutor watches every step, then notes, an assignment and the recording. Before EQAO, the PATs or a Diploma exam we switch to the real formats, and in Grades 11 and 12 the class works a unit ahead of the course, because the Grade 11 and 12 marks are the ones universities read.
| Your time (Eastern) | Chandigarh | Who books it |
|---|---|---|
| 7:00 – 8:30 am, before school | 4:30 – 6:00 pm | Elementary and middle school; the most popular slot |
| 4:00 – 8:00 pm, after school | 1:30 – 5:30 am | High school; our tutors teach these hours in shifts |
| Saturday and Sunday, 8 am – 1 pm | 5:30 – 10:30 pm | Everyone; exam-preparation blocks |
Central, Mountain and Pacific families: the same three windows, shifted; a 7 am class in Vancouver is 7:30 pm in Chandigarh, the easiest slot of all. Each Canadian city page has a planner.

The reason an Indian maths tutor fails a Canadian child is not the maths; it is the order and the province. Ontario teaches a de-streamed Grade 9 and then splits into course codes; Alberta runs the 10C, 20-1, 30-1 sequence with a Diploma exam worth 30 per cent; BC assesses numeracy and literacy rather than content; Quebec has its own secondary ladder and CEGEP. Our tutors hold master's degrees in their subject and have taught the Canadian sequences since 2018, so your child is taught the province's method first, in the course's vocabulary, and stretched only after the class work is secure.
| Grade | What the school teaches | What the class does |
|---|---|---|
| K – 2 | Counting, place value, addition and subtraction facts | Number sense with objects on the whiteboard, fact fluency in five-minute rounds |
| 3 – 6 | Multiplication, fractions, decimals; EQAO in Grades 3 and 6 (Ontario), the Grade 6 PAT (Alberta), the FSA in Grades 4 and 7 (BC) | Fractions with diagrams, multi-step word problems, the test format the province uses |
| 7 – 9 | Ratios, integers, linear relations; de-streamed Grade 9 maths (MTH1W) in Ontario, the Grade 9 PAT in Alberta, Secondary 1 to 3 in Quebec | The bridge to algebra done slowly, then Grade 9 a unit ahead of the class; EQAO Grade 9 preparation |
| 10 | Ontario MPM2D, Alberta Math 10C, BC Foundations and Pre-calculus 10, Quebec Secondary 4 (CST, TS, SN) | Quadratics and trigonometry written out in full, the Quebec ministerial exam, the Alberta 10C foundations for 20-1 |
| 11 – 12 | Ontario MCR3U, MHF4U, MCV4U, SCH4U, SPH4U; Alberta 20-1, 30-1, 31, Chemistry and Physics 30 with Diplomas; BC Pre-calculus 11 and 12, Calculus 12 | Functions, Advanced Functions and Calculus a unit ahead of the course; Diploma past papers marked to the Alberta key; the marks universities read |
Chemistry, physics and biology in Grades 11 and 12, English, and the French vocabulary Quebec and immersion schools use follow the same rule: the province's order, the real test format, one child at a time. All 100+ subjects →
| Where you live | Per hour, 1-on-1 |
|---|---|
| Canada | about C$14 to C$18 |
| United States | US$10 to $13 |
A Canadian agency charges C$40 to C$90 an hour for the same hour; a marketplace tutor from India at C$7 to C$10 is usually a student with no recording and no continuity. Full price table →
Families who want the depth of an Indian maths education without the child being taught methods the school does not use. We teach the school's method first, then the stretch, and Hindi or Punjabi if you want the language kept.
Most Canadian families who come to us are not Indian; they want a qualified 1-on-1 teacher for maths, chemistry or physics, weekly, without the agency's price. The class is in English; the tutor's accent is the only thing that is Indian about it.
Every class is recorded and the recording is yours. Parents can sit in on any class. The tutor never contacts the child outside the class. Nothing is paid up front; the first class is free and you decide afterwards.
Indo-Canadian families ask us a version of the same question: the child is doing well at school, but the cousins in Chandigarh are two years ahead in maths, so is the school too easy, or is the comparison wrong? Both, usually. The Canadian curricula go slower in arithmetic and faster in reasoning, data and written explanation, and a child who is top of a Grade 5 class is being measured on exactly the thing an Indian class barely tests. So we do not teach a Canadian child the CBSE syllabus. We teach the province's work to a very high standard, then add the Indian stretch where it helps: harder problems on the same topic, the Waterloo Gauss, Pascal and Cayley contests, mental arithmetic, and the habit of showing every step.
The rest is practical. Classes are in English, with Hindi or Punjabi conversation if the family wants the language kept alive, ten minutes at the end of a class; many of our Canadian families are Punjabi-speaking and the tutor is too. Grandparents in India can sit in, because the tutor is in India too. And when the family spends the summer in India, nothing stops: the same tutor, the same whiteboard, Indian times for six weeks, then back to the Canadian schedule.
