Super Prof
Brendon is one of our best tutors. High-quality profile and excellent qualifications, organised and responsive to lesson requests, appreciated by their students!
About the lesson
I have a very gentle and patient approach about teaching Mathematics as I believe everyone is capable of understanding any math concept, easy or difficult. I try to provide different angles on a subject or concept to try to find the best and easiest way for my students to grasp the material at hand, in a way that's most comfortable for them. I also take my time and review the material that my student might be uncertain of, making sure they understand it.
When I personally study I’m very detailed in my approach and that has lent to me being able look further and help many students on their journey through the material as I’ve already travelled the path and can give tips on what to avoid and what’s the right direction.

Brendon really helped me with my study, he explained every step of the problems so well and asked me if i understood well. if i didn’t, he would redo it and reexplain it!
thank you Brendon and i’ll see you soon for sure!!I think Brendon would make a great teacher because he explains everything really well and clearly and makes sure that I understand before moving on to the next question.
He explains and breakdowns the concepts well. He is also knowledgeable about the course. Also, he explains in an organized way.
The session I had with Brendon went very well. He assisted me with deepening my understanding of advanced mathematical topics. I look forward to our next session.
Brendon is an honours student and very capable of the kind of tutoring in Superprofs.
He has been an active participant in a first course on complex variable and applications that I am giving at Concordia University, in Montreal. He has been very conscientious in submission of all assignments, with very good results, and got a perfect score on the midterm exam.
Brendon, explains the material clearly and makes sure you understand by providing different examples on that topic.
Take his time with the student and he make sure you understand what you are learning, very sweet!! I recommend him!!
Brendon was one of my students in advanced math courses, and he did a Summer research project with me.
He is really good at math! And he enjoys explaining math to other people.
Chantal David, Professor, Mathematics, Concordia UniversityBrendon has been working with me on a summer research project on using machine learning to study the Collatz conjecture.
He is a person that understands mathematics deeply, and he is very good in presenting his work. I'm sure he will be an excellent teacher for all your math courses.I had the pleasure to have Brendon as a student in one of my math courses at Concordia University and supervise him during a summer research internship. He is an excellent mathematician, able to learn very complex ideas at a fast pace and explain them in a clear and intuitive way. He also has a really cool math blog. I highly recommend him as a math tutor! Under his guidance, you'll learn things effectively.
