Naji and Garbo were amazing tutors for my son. They taught him math 9 and pre calc 10 in a way that made him understand the concepts and gain confidence in his abilities. They pushed him to work hard and stay focused. I would highly recommend them!

My daughter has excelled at math since beginning tutoring at Ask Me Math. She enjoys math now and has a much deeper understanding. I would highly recommend Naji and her team for any help your child might require or even just for a fun challenge.

I would like to thank Naji for all her help during my grade 11 and 12 years.

Her engaging teaching style and her thorough explanations really helped build my confidence and improve my marks in Math, a subject which has never come naturally for me.

I’d highly recommend Ask Me Math!

Naji, along with her carefully selected staff, possess an outstanding ability to engage, teach, and motivate their students to achieve greater understanding of Math, leading to success in their studies.

The key to this is skill and enthusiasm of Naji and her staff in understanding mathematical concepts and then patiently sharing that knowledge with their students. Each member of the staff that I worked with established an understanding of the fundamentals associated with the curriculum, then ensured that it was clear how those concepts apply to the problems to be solved. They then challenge the student to successfully complete necessary work individually. If the student follows this process up with dedicated practice, success inevitably follows.

I highly recommend Ask Me Math to all students and parents wanting to recognize their capabilities in understanding and excelling in Math – they will ensure you in get there!

Our daughter is a student at Handsworth Secondary, and working with Naji has changed the game for us. Her lessons are clear and productive, and she has made a strong connection with our daughter.

Furthermore, Naji’s online video lessons have been very successful during this time. We got our daughter set up with a stylus, and now she and Naji are able to work through problems online together in real-time.

Naji has made a real difference in how our daughter prepares herself for success in math!

Naji: Thank you for all that you do. My kids (all whom have different personality traits) each like your teaching style and find the classes very helpful. I appreciate your thoughtful, professional approach and your genuine interest in their learning.

My son has had difficulties in school since Grade 1, I always knew he was bright and capable, but never understood why he was struggling so much.  When he got into grade 10, and his marks really mattered, I was desperate to get him some help in Math. I was referred to Naji by a friend of mine who is a teacher as well,  who also had great things to say about how her son had benefitted from working with Naji.

I listened in to several of my son’s sessions and found that Naji’s ability to communicate clearly and positively, to be a good listener and to adapt to my son’ learning style, while treating him with respect at the same time has really engaged him again in Math, and now he is excelling at Math and confident in his abilities.  I wish I had done this earlier as I would have avoided many years of struggle for both of us.  I would highly recommend Naji and her team as Math Tutors.

In addition to her incredible work ethics, teaching style and warm personality, I think what makes Naji number one in her field is her passion for what she does. The success of her students is very important to her and she goes above and beyond to make sure her students are going to be the best. Her office is a calm and inviting environment and she is always polite, friendly and extremely welcoming.

We found Naji and Ask me Math 3 years ago. She quickly made a connection with our son who has a number of challenges. She consistently helps Nathan be as successful as he is in high school math. She is kind and firm and sets high but attainable expectations. We are so confident in her that even though Nathan is not enrolled in a math 12 course this year Naji is keeping up on a math 12 program for him so when he graduates he can go to college and easily get through a math course. As long as Nathan is dealing with math classes he will continue with Naji. Nathan has had the opportunity to be tutored by other tutors that Naji has hired and all have been high quality and effective. I would recommend Ask Me Math in a heartbeat.

Over the last decade, my sons have attended kumon, the academy of math and sciences and had several math tutors. We discovered Naji in preperation for their recent high school final math exams and she will be our permanent math tutor for their last years. They both said she was the very best math instructor they had ever had. They were amazed at the complex math questions that she had answers to every single time and found her explanations so easy to comprehend. She also was so kind to lend one of my sons her own scientific calculator when we misplaced ours the night before his exam. Thank-you Naji.

I have known Naji for two years now, and I think it’s safe to say that she is one of the smartest person I’ve ever encountered. It doesn’t matter what subject we are discussing or learning, She is always on top of it showing a passion for knowledge that is simply unparalleled.

What more, she has an uncanny ability to make anyone else understand any subject. She is a naturally gifted teacher and I know she will make an excellent tutor. No person she speaks to ever feels like (he/she/they) is being talked down to, or that she is growing impatient with him/her./they If someone doesn’t understand, she simply begins again, or tries another approach.

Naji is thoroughly qualified for this tutoring position, and I hope you will make the right decision to hire her.

My son was tutored in Math 12 by Naji and he found her to be amazing. He found her easy to understand and her communication skills are excellent and so is her teaching methods. He enjoyed so much the time he spent with her. He received 100% on the final Math 12 exam.  I highly recommend Naji as a tutor in Math. Thank you Naji

When my daughter first had an appt with naji, her grade was just above 40% with a month of school left. Within that month, naji was able to bring that grade up to well above passing. Such a relief. Thank you so much Naji!

My daughter has always been a good math student.  She started to struggle with some of the concepts in the last term of grade 10.  I heard about Naji from my friend and thought I would see if she could help.  She was amazing and helped so much.  The way she explains seems to make so much more sense than the teacher’s lesson.  My daughter was able to go and write her tests after her sessions with Naji and get over 90% on all of them.  I’m so happy we found Naji and it’s so nice to know she’s there whenever there is a little extra help needed.  Naji you’re the best!

Samantha M. – Parent Grade 10 student

Alan is a great tutor and he helped me thoroughly prepare for my mid-term pre-calculus exam.  Besides helping me through all the questions I didn’t understand, he helped me organize a method for going through questions, and provided useful tips for minimizing foolish mistakes when test-taking.  I’m looking forward to Alan helping me continue to improve my math skills and my math marks!

I would highly recommend Naji as a math tutor. My daughter Devon worked with Naji and it really benefited Devon who passed her SSAT exam and gained admission to Mulgrave Secondary School, West Vancouver.

Our seventh grade daughter has gained academic skills, particularly in math, during her 3 months of enrichment tutoring with Naji.  Devon has enjoyed her weekly sessions and benefited from her one on one relationship with Naji.

Naji is an extraordinary educator. She forms a positive relationship with her students to help them round out their academic skills and build their determination to succeed. She is a kind instructor and students trust her.

I would recommended Naji as a tutor for Math and tutoring is a super way to round out a child’s education and assure that kids learn what they need to succeed. Naji’s the perfect match and her tutoring was great. It is customized to the child’s needs and parents’ concerns.

My son, who’s in grade 7 had a few months of tutoring near the end of the school year as his grades were low. His test scores and confidence were raised as a result. Naji and her team are supportive and encouraging. It was a very positive experience.

My daughter had been struggling with Math for a number of years when we found out about Naji and her Tutoring service.

Within a couple of months we noticed the beginning of a new comfort level and then an amazing turnaround happened…

By mid year, our daughter had increased her Math Mark from a 58 to an 88!

Part of the success came about because Naji is an outstanding teacher, but just as important, it happened because Naji has the ability to find a balance between keeping her students Motivated and Disciplined at the same time.

Brian W – VUFC Head Soccer Coach – Parent of Grade 11 student

My daughter has been tutored by Naji for grade 10 and 11 math. She enjoys her sessions with Naji and finds the tutorials really help her have a good grasp of math concepts. Naji makes math interesting and enjoyable.

My daughter Julia is in Grade 5 and has been attending Ask Me Math with Naji for the last two months. Julia’s attitude towards math has improved considerably, and we are seeing positive results in her marks at school. Julia looks forward to her sessions each week as Naji finds a way to make math fun, and Julia really enjoys it.  I highly recommend Ask Me Math for anyone who feels their child needs assistance, or even just to keep them ahead of the game

Naji eased my anxiety surrounding Math and gave me the confidence to move ahead into other concepts I thought were beyond my abilities.

Finding Naji as a tutor for my high school student has been the best thing!

Her clear and simple instructions have clarified what had seemed confusing at school.

Naji’s techniques work – she builds confidence and my child has gone from avoiding math to becoming self-reliant & motivated.

Her pleasant manner makes tutoring sessions fun, and her genuine interest in the child’s success pays off.

Thanks Naji!

JH (Handsworth Secondary Parent)

We contacted Naji over a year ago for our daughter who was constantly struggling with math at school.  Naji has been absolutely wonderful in motivating and working with my 12 year old daughter.  Math used to be the subject she dreaded the most and now it is the one subject that she feels the most confident in and is enjoying it. Naji has been positive and enthusiastic in her approach to math tutoring and she has been very accommodating with our busy lives.  We feel very fortunate to have found such a great math tutor, someone who is kind and understanding and is able to make an otherwise difficult subject for a tween, into something that makes sense and can be fun.  Thank you Naji for all your assistance in helping our daughter overcome the dread of math homework and in helping her improve upon and enjoy the subject.

Elise has one A after the other in maths now.  She just got her report card and again A in maths.  It went all uphill after she saw you.  She mostly has over 90 percent in her tests.

Carmon Kopp (Parent)

My daughter Ella is in Grade 6 and has been a student of Naji’s for over a year. We have been so PLEASED!!!. Over this time, Ella has gone from anxiety to smiles when dealing with math problems. Her grade has progressed from a very shaky C- to a solid B+ . Naji has been super encouraging, patient and supportive. I would recommend Naji strongly to anyone who wants to approach math in a fun, confident manner.

Deborah Bender (Parent)

My son Nathan, who is 15, started being tutored by Naji Shahla in October 2016. He has always struggled with Math and as he entered grade 9 we realized that he needed help. I found Naji on Craigslist and she was prompt at responding to my inquiries. We set a meeting for her and Nathan so that they could decide if they were able to work together. This was such a benefit to my son as he felt in control of who he was going to be tutored by. He instantly felt very comfortable with Naji and said he would like to start tutoring with her. He has always been a C-, C student in math and by second term report card in March 2017 he has a B. She has a way of explaining things that Nathan understands, she is patient when she needs to be a firm when she needs to be. Nathan said to me “I think Naji is working, when I am in math class I actually understand what the teacher is talking about!” We are thrilled we found her and will continue with her until Nathan graduates. An excellent tutor!
