Hi, I'm Jimmy (Pengrui) Tao, and I am currently studying mathematics at the University of Toronto. I first discovered math contests in grade 6, which sparked my passion for problem-solving and logical thinking. Throughout high school, I actively pursued mathematics inside and outside the classroom. I served as president of the math club at AY Jackson, where I organized weekly lectures to prepare students for competitions, and I also gained extensive experience as a tutor through peer tutoring, HomeworkHub Tutoring (where I later became vice president), and employment by the TDSB.
Academically, I completed every math course offered at my high school with an overall average of 98.4%, and I earned recognition in numerous contests, including the 2025 Euclid Honor Roll, 2024 CSMC Honor Roll, 2024 AIME qualification, and CCC 2023/2024/2025 Senior Division Certificate of Distinction. Some of my earliest achievements included placing 7th in Canada on the Fryer Contest in 2022.
Now at U of T, I continue to build on this foundation, exploring advanced mathematics while also enjoying activities such as playing guitar and table tennis.

Learning math isn't just about memorizing equations and repeatedly solving questions, it should be a fun process of exploration and discovery.
As your tutor, I will first respond to any questions you have about homework or assessments. Then, I will personalize the lessons depending on what you require. I offer tutoring services for all high school math courses, as well as services for any high school math contest preparation.
For curriculum math lessons, the content I teach will be streamlined with the materials covered in the Ontario curriculum.
For contest math lessons, I will cover the big 4 branches that contest math requires(algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics). If the student wishes to focus on a specific contest (Euclid/CSMC, COMC, AMC), then I will also add in contest-specific lessons.

I've been a good friend of Jimmy's since elementary school, and he has always been exceptional in all fields of mathematics. He is hardworking and committed to his craft and shows immense passion in his work. Jimmy also has substantial leadership qualities, as he loves to take charge and work successfully with others. He works very well in group environments and is always keen on guiding others. Anyone would be very lucky to have Jimmy as a tutor due to his commendable mathematics knowledge and his amazing communication and people skills.
Jimmy is a great teacher & incredibly helpful! His explainations are nice and straightforward, and I have learned a lot from him :)
I have been a close friend of Jimmy since elementary school, specifically since grade 4 and noticed his academic brilliance from day one. He is an excellent student and person who I believe will be an amazing tutor. Anyone who gets to know Jimmy will understand and discover this throughout time.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy since high school, where we were both part of the math club. Jimmy has always stood out for his strong mathematical abilities and his exceptional leadership skills. Whether it was helping teammates solve challenging problems or organizing club activities, he consistently brought a sense of clarity, focus, and motivation to our group. I’m confident he’ll continue to excel and make a positive impact wherever he goes.
Jimmy is a W math teacher and W comp science nerd. He gets zesty but thats about it. 10/10 recommendation if you get absolutely destroyed by math.
As the president of our high school's math club, Jimmy demonstrates strong leadership and organization skills, often giving lectures on contest math which are helpful and easy to follow. In addition, Jimmy has outstanding academic ability in math, achieving multiple honor rolls in international math contests. Jimmy is a really easygoing and warmhearted friend, ready to help anyone in need. He will definitely be a good choice for a math tutor on either curriculum math or contest math!
I'm one of Jimmy's friends at AY Jackson. I first knew about him through one of his math lectures he gave at AY Jackson Secondary School. His lectures are incredibly concise and organized, while also being incredibly in-depth about the subject at hand. He is very good at explaining concepts, as well as some questions involving said concepts. I was blown away by how much I now understood of this concept! After the lecture, I approached him and asked him to help me with math homework that I could not understand. He then proceeded to diligently work with me, pointing out some mistakes I had made and helped me fix them. Math was not my strong suit and I was constantly struggling with some of the harder questions. However, after going to Jimmy, he helped me raise my average by 7%! I saw his passion for mathematics and also decided to write my first mathematics competition. Overall, Jimmy is a great tutor because of his conciseness, ability to teach, and approachability. He has been a great teacher to me, and I wholeheartedly believe that he will be to you as well.
I've known Jimmy for many years, and he has always been very helpful whenever I need help with math. He's patient, considerate, and the most capable person I know. I never feel nervous or embarrassed when I'm asking him questions, even the simplest ones, because his response is always kind. I remember I once had difficulty understanding why the square root of 4 was only positive 2 and not positive and negative 2, but he easily explained it through concepts we learned in class and simple examples.
I attended math class with Jimmy, and I remember that he would always seek to help others struggling, to understand difficult mathematical concepts, regardless of what it took. His dedication and compassion towards helping others is commendable, and lots of students have improved their math skills significantly thanks to this man
