Top-Rated Tutoring in Ajax, Ontario | Ontario Certified Teachers
Master math and science with expert tutors who follow the Ontario math curriculum.
Your child deserves a learning plan built around how they actually learn, not a one-size-fits-all worksheet. The Progressive Centre pairs Ajax students with Ontario certified teachers for math and science tutoring that builds real skills and real confidence.
Ajax families know the pressure of keeping up with a full curriculum while juggling hockey practice, swim lessons, and everything in between. Whether your child attends a Durham District School Board (DDSB) school like Ajax High School or J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, or a Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) school like Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School or Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School, our tutors understand the pace and expectations of Durham Region classrooms.
We work with students across Ajax, from Pickering Village and Audley to South Ajax and the neighbourhoods near the Audley Recreation Complex. Many of our sessions are scheduled around evening activities at the Ajax Community Centre and weekend commitments near the waterfront trail, so tutoring fits into your family’s week instead of taking it over.
What core academic programs do you offer?
From basic number sense in the early grades to functions, calculus, and vectors in senior high school, we build math skills step by step. Every lesson is mapped to the Ontario Curriculum, so your child is practicing exactly what their teacher expects them to know.
We help students strengthen their understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics concepts, connect classroom theory to lab work, and prepare for tests and exams with confidence

Why Choose The Progressive Centre for Math or Science Tutoring?
Ontario Certified Teachers
Every tutor at The Progressive Centre holds Ontario teaching certification. Your child is learning from someone trained in the same curriculum their school follows, not a generalist tutor working off a script.
Personalized Learning Plans
We start with a real assessment of where your child stands, then build a plan around their specific gaps and goals. No generic packages. No wasted sessions.
1-on-1 and Small Group Options
Some students thrive with focused one-on-one attention. Others do better learning alongside peers. We offer both formats so you can choose what fits your child and your budget.
Local to Durham Region
We are not a national call centre matching your child with a random tutor. We know the DDSB and DCDSB curriculum, the local school calendar, and what Ajax students are up against.
