Patrick was very patient, effective and flexible. He constantly worked with a complex every changing schedule to meet everyone’s need. He was able to roll with whatever our daughter asked of him that day.he knows the curriculum extensively . He likes it when you offer him food and he is not a picky eater!

I have a history with anxiety and self-confidence issues when it comes to Math. Patrick teaches in a very efficient manner yet has a laissez-faire teaching style that leaves no room for stress or insecurities in the subject. My mark has increased SIGNIFICANTLY since his help came along. Amazing teacher... would 10/10 recommend!

Patrick is an outstanding math tutor. He worked with my son to help him get through what my son calls, "the last math class he'll ever have to take." Patrick does a highly effective job of breaking down the subject to reluctant students. He is friendly and relates well to teens. He may be finished with one of my children, but Patrick is so versatile in his ability to reach students that this September, he will start working with my other son who excels in math!

Patrick has been a god-send! Had a bad experience with another tutor but found Patrick and am very grateful! Patrick is easy-going but knowledgeable and a great tutor! I can't say enough good things. Patrick understands how his student is feeling and adapts easily to make the work environment comfortable. If you are able to get Patrick as a tutor, thank your lucky stars!

Patrick Carey has been tutoring my son’s for almost two years. He immediately hit it off with both of my boyss. Patrick’s approach is easy going, and works really well at the different levels my sons are at in math. He has a great way of explaining and reviewing concepts. Both of my son’s are happy to work with Patrick. We have a regular tutoring time however, Patrick is very flexible with changing session dates if the boys have upcoming tests in order to ensure a good review and preparation. Patrick has been a huge help to our boys and we would highly recommend him as a tutor ( not to mention he's a pretty nice guy:).

Excellent experience - Grade 11 math tutoring

Patrick has been incredibly constructive with our son, who dislikes math and lacks the discipline to practice. Patrick has been patient and entirely flexible around scheduling and has put enough time and energy into our son's math for both of them! I think he's made a huge difference and look forward to having him next year.

Patrick has worked with our daughter for over a year now. He started tutoring Gabrielle in grade 12 Advanced Functions. He provided wonderful engaging sessions in a visual format which conveyed the concepts in an accessible format tailored to her. Our daughter who has not appreciated math at all in the past, has flourished. We wish we knew of him sooner and I would highly recommend Patrick who is affable and accessible to everyone. He continues to tutor Gabrielle currently in science.
Math tutor - Gr 10/11

Patrick is an excellent tutor. He was very patient and persistent in finding different ways to explain a concept until my daughter understood. Her marks improved significantly after he started working with her in grade 10 and we especially appreciated his willingness to re-arrange his schedule to accommodate tests and exams as well as tutoring through July to accommodate Gr. 11 summer school. He'll be my first call when she starts Gr.12 math next year!

It is unfortunate that the highest rating availible is "excellent" for that does not do Patrick justice. Patrick started with me in grade 11 where I knew almost nothing, and worked with me to improve my knowledge greatly up until the end of grafe 12. I could not have suceeded without him. His ability to explain comcepts is remarkable and I always felt comfortable around him. He's now not only my mentor but also my freind. Thank you Mr.Carey.

I have been working with Patrick for 2 years. He is an amazing person and tutor!! He always goes your pace and makes learning fun, as cheesy as that sounds, if you are looking for someone who is completly awesome and an amazing teacher then you've found him.
I was very reluctant on getting a tutor but after I met him I became more open to the idea, when we first met he immediately broke the ice and made it as un-awkward as possible.

I would say he's the best math teacher that I've had!!!!!!! And I do mean teacher, he made learning math bareble and fun!

I started this year off with a 70% in the grade 12 calculus and vectors course. I started weekly tutoring sessions with Patrick and I managed to raise my mark into the 90s. Patrick differs from many other tutors because he genuinely cares if his students understand the material covered during the sessions. There were a few sessions where Patrick went home and did extra work to help reinforce a concept to me. Patrick is definitely the best tutor I had during my high school years. Highly recommended!

We have had Patrick tutor our kids for two years, Our son who has just finished grade 7 has a learning disability that makes math a challenge. Patrick has worked with him to bring him from a point of struggling with basic addition to obtaining the 3rd highest math mark on his school entrance exam. He no longer fears math and indeed really looks forward to his tutoring sessions. Patrick makes learning fun. He treats the kids with respect and knows how to tap into each child's particular learning pattern. We look forward to him tutoring our oldest son as he enters grade 11 and then 12 on the road to preparing for university.

Thanks to Patrick I had a great final year of high school. Math has always been a subject I have found some difficulty with but thanks to Patrick I managed to not only do well but also find math class a little less daunting. Patrick was always just a text away if urgent help was needed and was very understanding of my changing schedule and wanting to move days either because I was away or because I wanted to have a study session the day before my test instead of our regular day that week. I suggest Patrick needing that extra help in math as he is a fantastic teacher as well as a welcoming person to be around. Thank you for all the help this year Patrick!

Patrick tutored math to my daughter last year . She was a grade 9 student in a private gifted school, studying the grade 10 curriculum . Previously , math was a sore point for my daughter . In fact I had reconciled and told her that math was not her thing and she can give it up at the first opportunity available . However once she started working with Patrick something changed and took me by surprise . She scored a 93% in math and counted on all math tests to bring up her average. She now wants to pursue math all the way! She is not afraid of it anymore .
Patrick is a very responsible , knowledgeable and friendly tutor. He reaches the kids in a very non threatening manner. He is very organized tries to be flexible to adjust to exams n rests. He is punctual n professional.
If you are looking for a math tutor for your child look no further ! You will not be disappointed .

Throughout my first few years of high school, I was able to obtain a mid 70 average in math without too much difficulty. However, when grade 12 rolled around, I knew I was in trouble. I had a teacher who didn't speak much English and made his tests significantly harder than they needed to be. We also received several assignments, which were university concepts and were not directed on how to attack the problems whatsoever. My marks in grade 12 calc and functions began to drop which is when I realized that I needed a tutor. Well, after a bit of research, I found Patrick. Patrick has been the most knowledgable and comprehendible math teacher I've ever had. He broke down my issues, step by step and also worked at my pace. His notes were always clear which helped me when I needed to review what we had discussed earlier. We also shared a few laughs which made the math much more enjoyable. I finished with an 80 in both courses, meeting my program's requirement. Thank you Patrick.

At the beginning of Grade 12, I found myself slowly falling behind in the concepts and homework of Advanced Functions and Calculus and Vectors. I was also struggling with finding an accommodating tutor that I worked well with. After doing some research, I finally came across Pat, and luckily for me he had a spot available. Pat made every concept clear and helped me make a drastic improvement in my grades. Pat was always reachable via email or text. Next year I plan on taking a calculus course at the University of Toronto and I will most definitely be enlisting Pat's help! Pat is the best tutor I've worked with - and believe me ... I've worked with many!

Patrick tutored our son this past year in grade 10 math. He seemed to have a great rapport with our son and besides actually enjoying his tutor sessions his marks went up significantly. What really impressed me about Patrick was his reliability and willingness to be flexible so that he could be here in crucial times like right before tests and exams. I would highly recommend Patrick Carey as a math tutor.

Our son has always found math accessible, but as his high school years progressed though advanced calculus and vectors, his understanding started to wane. He tried many different tutors, but didn't really find any of them useful until a school friend recommended Patrick Carey. We were lucky that Patrick had a spot available because he's been absolutely wonderful. His attention and focus during the two hour sessions are unwavering, and our son loves the way Patrick is teaching him to work through each problem methodically. Patrick has an easy demeanour and approach to learning that really resonates with our son. In just a few months his grades have made a drastic improvement, as has his confidence level. We've been so impressed and like Patrick so much, that we intend to continue the sessions through the summer to prepare for calculus 101 next year at Dalhousie University. We'd recommend Patrick without hesitation - he's excellent!

I am in grade seven gifted, and in the beginning of the year I found math to be difficult, so my family and I decided to find a tutor and Patrick was a great help. My confidence in math went up within a few weeks and I started to enjoy math more. Patrick helps to make things more clear and can make learning fun while staying professional. Patrick is very intelligent, patient and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a tutor! :)

Patrick is a fantastic tutor! Because of him I got a clear concept and grasp of grade 11 university math.
I could not ask for a better tutor to help me; not only does he teach in a way that is easy to understand but also makes it interesting and fun at points because of his great personality.
If you are looking for a tutor for math, or physics I'd get Patrick ASAP!

Patrick is a fabulous teacher and I consider myself extremely lucky that he agreed to teach my son, who has struggled with math for years and as a consequence also suffered from low self-esteem. Since working with Patrick for two hours a week over the last year, my son's confidence level in the subject has improved dramatically and he no longer feels as though he can't do it. It's a joy to see and all thanks to Patrick. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I have two boys in highschool that have struggled with math for the past couple of years. With their busy hockey schedules they always clamied that they didn't have time for a tutor. Finally, this September they agreed that a tutor may be the answer to their struggles in the subject. I searched for a very long time to find one that was patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. Well, we found Patrick and we have never looked back since. Not only has Patrick helped to raise their averages significantly but he has actually been able to give them confidence in the subject that they have never experienced before. They both feel that the way that Patrick explains the concepts gives them a much deeper understanding of math. My favourite saying since September has been "we struck gold when we found Patrick!"
Optimized The Volume of Calculus Word Problems.
By: Kathleen Bradley
Review Date: Sep 2, 2010
Tutor Rating:
I, without question, could not have found a better tutor (and person, at that), than Patrick Carey. If after reading this review, you STILL don't have his digits programmed into your phone, either I'm not very convincing or you are whack.

I've never been bad at math, but once grade 12 calculus hit and the pressure to reach high goals was realized, I needed help. Just the routine of Patrick sitting with me, doing the work, was enough to get my mind into the world of derivatives and optimization. Within a few weeks I had gone from a 68 to 81, finishing with an 84 final (96 on the exam, thanks to 2 Three-hour sessions with Patrick).

Patrick is a wonderful teacher. Never forceful or intimidating, he works with you on what YOU need help with and doesn't stop until you could do it in you're sleep. If you get lucky and finish your work early, he'll talk to you for hours about his travels across the world, the many languages he's familiar with (who knew this white guy could write in Arabic?), and all of the other wonderful things that made him so much more of a friend than a tutor to me.

I now go to McGill University as an Arts Legacy student. I plan on majoring in Philosophy and minoring in French next year. My calculus mark was part of my top 6 course selection, and a 68 would not have cut it. With an 84, my average was 90, good enough to be accepted into one of the best schools in the country. Patrick was without a doubt, a major contributor to my school goal, and I couldn't be happier. I love my school, I love my program, and I love that I can say I conquered calculus.

Hire this man. You will have no regrets. Go! Do it now!

Patrick was my tutor in my last year of high school, after struggling with math in grade 11. I was in the highly academic and challenging International Baccalaureate program and really found math to cause lots of anxiety and worry which I did not need! Patrick helped to simplify ideas, make the work fun and give me a set time to do my math work and stay on top of the intense workload, also giving me time to focus on my stronger subjects. Thank you!

I have a 15 year old daughter and 17 year old son, who both struggle with math. I asked at school, and parents of other students if they could recommend a tutor - none could, so I started to search the internet. I feel lucky to have found Patrick. He is an amazing teacher, who easily relates to teenagers. He has a unique way of explaining complex math principals- making them both fun and stress free. My children look forward to their time with him - and they have recommended him to their friends who are also struggling.

Patrick Carey tutured our son Matt in Grade 12 Physics, Functions and Calculus over a six month period. He was extremely professional and knowledgable while also being very engaging and approachable. Because our son has some organizational issues, we really appreciated the concise notes that Patrick made at every session - they really made a difference for Matt's studying. Patrick is a very busy and popular tutor and a real find - we would recommend him without reservation and would use his services again.

Mr Carey visited our house several times in August 2007 to tutor our 16-year-old son in physics. He was prompt, reliable, intelligent, and creative. Thanks to him our son understands much better the fundamentals of his high-school physics courses. I would recommend Patrick Carey to any concerned parent. His manner is easy but intense, and his qualifications are impeccable.
