About Brian
I've been a classroom teacher for 25 years, and have designed highly successful courses in French, Spanish, and other languages; ESL; mathematics; teaching methodologies; and research methods (for university and graduate level students). My style as a teacher is about uncovering how each student learns and working with them to develop tricks, strategies, routines that support them in being successful at school in a way that is uniquely theirs. I teach students how to communicate well in a new language and be skilled at maths, but the way we do that together is not so much about ME telling THEM to do it THIS WAY. It's more about THEM telling ME what they need so that we figure out AN EFFECTIVE WAY to approach learning. Studying in this way will get you good grades, but it will also lead to something you'll remember for the rest of your life—how to learn anything you want well.

Did you know that research has shown that some 80% of students in schools do not learn effectively the same way their teachers do? For them, being successful can be a real challenge. Writing is hard. Rules don't make sense. Figuring out how to decode text doesn't stick. If you're reading this, do you feel like this is true? I teach real-world skills with creative, engaging lessons designed with my students' learning styles in mind. I work regularly with divergent learners, many of whom find writing intimidating because the way these are taught in school doesn't work for them. There are lots of ways to learn these, though, and I take the time to find what works for YOU. My goal is to see my students empowered to take things on because they realise that, with the right tools, they can be effective learners. My lessons are designed for students from about year 7 (6th grade) through university and last up to one hour.

Brian has been my teacher for many years now. He is deeply present during lessons and is able to adapt information to my learning style. He excels at putting things in context so the information is pertinent. He has a great sense of humor which makes learning fun and engaging.
Brian is an incredible tutor. He knows how to take a different approach when you’re having a difficult time understanding. He’s very diligent with his teaching, and has really helped me have the best experience with learning!
Brian is a great tutor! He really takes the time to make sure you understand the subject matter. If you’re not understanding it he finds a way to individualize the teaching to work best for you.
He was my Spanish teacher during high school.
His style is highly engaging, pulling in props and storytelling to help concepts stick. Laying out the rules of the language clearly and memorably was also a strong point of his lessons. He goes above and beyond to connect with and make learning accessible and fun. His lessons are planned in ways that are well-rounded and enjoyable to attend. He also cares for his students deeply and tries to make sure they are getting what they need to succeed.See more recommendations
