Do you tutor ICS3U and ICS4U?
Yes — Grade 11 and Grade 12 Ontario computer science, primarily in Python, following your student's course.
ICS3U · ICS4U · First-year CS
Computer science tutoring from people who actually code.
Programming clicks when someone sits beside you and debugs your thinking, not just your syntax. We tutor ICS3U and ICS4U — Python, algorithms, and the fundamentals that U of T, Waterloo, and McMaster CS programs expect — and support first-year university students in Python, Java, and C, plus the data-structures groundwork that makes second year survivable.

Why it matters
The wall between following and writing.
For students aiming at competitive CS programs, a strong Grade 12 computer science mark matters — and the gap between “followed the lesson” and “can write it from scratch” is where many students stall.
Our tutors have completed post-secondary computer science and work the way good engineers do: read the error, reason about the logic, and build the habit of solving problems independently — which is the part that finally makes it click.
What changes
Real understanding, not a quick patch.
01
From following to writing
Students learn to build solutions from scratch, not just trace code someone handed them.
02
Debugging as a skill
We teach reading errors and reasoning about logic — the habit that makes CS click.
03
University-ready
Python, Java, C, and the data-structures groundwork first year quietly assumes.
Common questions
Computer Science tutoring, answered.
Can you help with first-year university CS?
Yes. We support first-year Python, Java, and C, plus the data-structures foundations that second year builds on.
My child can follow lessons but can't code alone — is that normal?
Very. The jump from reading code to writing it is the most common wall, and building that habit is exactly what our tutors focus on.
How much does computer science tutoring cost?
From $200/month for one weekly session to $480/month for three, or $120/month in a small group. All in CAD, billed monthly, cancel any time.
