Callum is a passionate and engaging tutor who loves working with people of all ages, and he has a knack for helping others develop their understanding of various topics and bring forth a passion and love for learning. Callum has well over three years of experience with tutoring, although his passion for helping others to learn extends far beyond then. Initially, Callum began helping his friends at high school every now and then when they struggled with math. However, this quickly became a regular occurrence as he began to discover how much he loved teaching others, and seeing the results in his friends’ appreciation instilled a lifelong love of learning deep within him. Since graduating high school, Callum has consistently pursued opportunities to help others learn, including highly successful private tutoring with several students, some with learning disabilities, as well as working at tutoring centers. Callum has consistently seen great results with his students; his ability to simplify complex topics, explain them in multiple different understandable ways, and instill a sense of independence and confidence in his pupils puts his tutoring far above the rest. Callum frequently encourages his students to be introspective in their learning process; he often employs Socratic questioning to help his students become better learners in general, not just in a specific topic. Additionally, because of his extensive experience, Callum is both kind and patient with his students; unlike many teachers and tutors out there, he understands the struggles that students may face in their learning and empathizes with them. Overall, he aims to create a safe and understanding learning environment where his students feel safe to ask questions and be themselves.Â
Â
Callum was born in Fort Worth, Texas, although he has lived in Calgary since he was three years old. In high school, Callum took AP math, calculus, physics, and chemistry, and he consistently performed at the top of his class.

My name is Rimann and I am a first year engineering student at the University of British Columbia. As a high school graduate from West Island College in Calgary, I primarily specialize in tutoring math, physics, and chemistry of all levels including AP. In grade twelve, I was the president of my school’s baking club – an experience that gave me the opportunity to further develop my leadership and communication skills outside of academics. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active from weekly pickup basketball runs, playing video games, listening to music, and cars.

I specialize in Math (all levels, including Calculus AB and Math 31), Science 10-30, Physics 20-30AP, and ELA K-12. I’m passionate about helping students learn in a way that works best for them, building their confidence and academic skills.
Before tutoring professionally, I spent years helping peers and younger students, focusing on making complex concepts easier to understand. I also welcome insights from parents and guardians to ensure my teaching methods align with the student’s needs.
I offer flexible evening and weekend sessions, both online and in-home, and strive to create a supportive, engaging environment for learners of all levels. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy chess, art, badminton, volleyball, computing science, learning new languages, volunteering, and reading—bringing creativity and enthusiasm into my teaching.
