About Gavin
I am a recent Master of Quantitative Finance graduate from the University of Waterloo and have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematical Finance. I am a CRLA-certified tutor and I have four years of experience teaching math concepts as a math drop-in tutor, an online course instructor and as a freelance math tutor. Outside of tutoring and school I enjoy drawing cartoons and playing the guitar.

After reviewing the tutoring guidelines and making a list of objectives for the tutoring session, I start by checking for understanding. I fill in any gaps or misunderstandings with the material, and ask probing questions to lead students to understand the material themselves. Then I work through two examples (one where I work with them, then I get them to do the work and make sure they understand). I end off with a quick review, and may give them additional problems to try to assess if they are having trouble with the concept. I can work with both high school and college students. I really want to see everyone I help succeed and love seeing students finally reach understanding at the end of a session!

His ability to explain concepts clearly and build her confidence has made a significant difference.

Gavin is super reliable, available and knowledgeable. Helped me triple my test score. 10/10 would recommend.
Gavin has been a great help with my son's grade 9 mathematics. He is very good at explaining concepts, is very methodical and provides good practice problems. He is patient in his approach. Also he's provided detailed assessments outside the tutoring which has been helpful to us. Highly recommend.
My grade 11 daughter has been tutoring with Gavin for 2 years now. Gavin is a great tutor, very knowledgeable and reliable. My daughter's GPA is much higher than it would've been without his help.
Gavin asks for feedback from students and adjusts his teaching method to accommodate the student's needs.
I would highly recommend Gavin as a tutor with his proven track record with my high school daughter over the past 2 years.
Best Regards,
John OgilvieGavin is capable of explaining complex mathematical concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He consistently provides easy to follow instruction and assists in learning the necessary material in an efficient way.
Gavin is super knowledgeable on a variety of math topics and is extremely kind and understanding when tutoring. He makes sure that every minute of your time is being used to grasp the material and helped me to feel much more confident for my upcoming exam.
Gavin was an integral piece of my recent statistics course. He provided easy to grasp explanations in unique and new ways. There was never a question he didn’t know how to answer.
Gavin tutored me with my first year math courses. He managed to pinpoint that I was struggling with abstract concepts so he used concrete examples to solidify my understanding. He also went through the course notes with me 3 to 4 times a week. He made sure I did not have any gaps in my learning by quizzing me at the end of each tutoring session. He was quite accommodating to my schedule and my disabilities. As he was also a math undergrad student before, he was able to point out helpful resources that I did know existed at my university. Overall, he is an excellent tutor who is able to fine-tune his teaching to best fit the student and their needs. I highly recommend him and will most likely have more lessons with him for future courses.
Gavin is a certified mathematics and statistics tutor by both the University of Waterloo and CRLA. He is extensive knowledgeable about statistics and can adapt to your ability and understanding of course material on the fly. I was able to get a 15% mark increase from my intro to stats course (62%-STAT 231) to an upper year stats course (77%-STAT 331) because of Gavin’s tutoring.
Gavin was very patient with all my questions and was able to explain the hard concepts in Quantitative Risk topics thoroughly, he was also quick to adapt his teaching styles to meet the level I was at.
I worked with Gavin on a statistics course. He was a great help in explaining concepts and working through practice assignments. He was patient and explained multiple times if necessary. I achieved success in the course and can't recommend him enough.
I connected with Gavin through UW tutoring services. He was extremely helpful with aiding me in my weekly math assignments as well as answering any questions I had while I prepped for the midterm and final. Gavin made sure to not just provide me with the answer but instead to walk through a similar problem together or offer hints to trigger a specific way of thinking to solve the problem at hand. Even through technical difficulties Gavin found a way to provide feedback and hints so I could continue to work on the assignment. Gavin was critical in me understanding the course content and passing the class.
