Top-Rated Tutoring in Oshawa, Ontario | Expert Ontario Tutors

Master math and science with expert tutors who follow the Ontario curriculum.

Child learning online with a laptop

Oshawa families balance packed schedules, from swim practice at the Civic Recreation Complex to weekend outings at Lakeview Park. Whether your child attends a Durham District School Board (DDSB) school like O’Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute or Eastdale Collegiate and Vocational Institute, or a Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) school like Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School, our tutors understand the pace and expectations of Durham Region classrooms.

We work with students across Oshawa, from McLaughlin and Vanier to Eastdale, Samac, and Northglen. Many of our sessions are scheduled around evening events at the Tribute Communities Centre and weekend trips to the Oshawa Centre, 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?

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 Oshawa students are up against, from EQAO prep to first-year readiness for Ontario Tech and Durham College.

Local Parent Testimonials

My son was struggling with Grade 11 functions at O’Neill. His tutor broke it down in a way his classroom teacher never had time to.

Oshawa Parent, McLaughlin

Our daughter attends Monsignor Paul Dwyer and needed steady support in chemistry. The consistency made all the difference.

Oshawa Parent, Vanier

We live in Samac and were nervous about finding a tutor who actually understood the DDSB curriculum. This was exactly that.
