About

Complete this sign up form and I will get back to you shortly.

Hi! I was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. I graduated from McGill with a Bachelor of Commerce, Honours Economics, minor in Psychology, 2006. The economics program was math-based and the psychology minor sparked a fascination with how people learn.

My passion in life is teaching math, especially to those who really struggle with it or even hate it. That’s what I’ve been doing since January, 2010. Much of my work has been with students of King David High School. My success and popularity with their students led to the principal hiring me as a Special Education Assistant from September 2012 to June 2014.

In addition to tutoring, I am now on a mission to create the best damn math lessons ever made, so good that they shake up the super stagnant field of education. Read more at the Bravo Math Blog.

Diagnostic and initial planning sessions are free. This usually takes 1-3 hours, spread across 2 sessions. Then:

• 1 student at a time, $100/hour per student
• 2 students, $80/hour per student
• 3 students, $65/hour per student
• 4 students, $55/hour per student
• Discounts up to 100% for those in financial need

For more details, see below.

Counting to Calculus

This program is the only stream accepting new students. Students will:

• Take a rocket ship towards calculus.
• Graduate with confidence and readiness to thrive in any math class thereafter.
• Likely qualify for a job with Bravo Math.
• Rates:
  • For $100/hour, the student will get 1-on-1 attention from a math tutor aiming to revolutionize all of math education. Contact me or read the blog for more details.
  • Up to 100% discount for those in need. Contact me for details.

Pre-Booked 1-on-1 Schoolwork-Based Tutoring

Booked and confirmed for the month ahead.

This stream is only available to returning students. It is no longer accepting new students. The cost is $65/hour, with a $65 minimum per session. As of Sept. 2026, it will be $75/hour.

Transportation

I charge the same rate for transportation (driving) time that I charge for tutoring, with a $15 minimum per location that is not in my Oakridge neighborhood. Typically I cap the transportation charge at $50/session. If 2 or more students are clustered, they share the cost of transportation equally. Returning students will be charged at previous rates.

Bravo Math offers in-person and online lessons in and around Vancouver. In-person tutoring is only for students who are showing no symptoms of COVID. If a student or a student’s close contact has been showing symptoms, please contact andrew@bravomath.com immediately to:

• Cancel any imminent tutoring session.
• Rebook for online tutoring.
• Reschedule the tutoring session for after symptoms are gone.

Andrew Uyeno’s COVID History

• Vaccination record since May 2021
• I've had COVID twice, once in 2021 and once in 2024. I am fortunate to have no long-term symptoms.

My commitment to help students succeed in math is as strong as ever.

If you have any questions, please contact me at andrew@bravomath.com or call/text me at 604-900-1934.

Yes! Please ask me for their contact information.

Yes! As of October 2018, I passed the BC Ministry of Justice background check to volunteer at Tupper Secondary. Here are my Vancouver Police Department Information Checks from November 2018 and January 2021 (originals available).

I offer both online and in-person tutoring in homes, coffee shops, schools, libraries, etc. anywhere in or near Vancouver. In-person tutoring is available to any household without a COVID infection.

I work Sunday-Thursday, most hours of the day. That being said, my schedule is usually quite full.

As the month turns over, I get in touch with all my students and parents to confirm billing and a schedule for the month ahead. I will only show up to appointments that are confirmed by the student or parent. I am rarely available at the last minute and I do not offer flexible scheduling. If you need any adjustments in terms of time or sessions, let me know right away. Also, see cancellation policy below.

Contact me anyways as I may be able to rearrange my appointments to suit you. Even if I can’t, apply anyway so we can track your requests for times. If one of them becomes available, it will be yours.

Each student gets one cancellation or no-show, after which I charge in full for all sessions booked, except in cases of family emergency, illness, or extreme weather. Since I also offer the first session for free, this is a fairly generous policy. If you need to make adjustments to a schedule, the monthly correspondence is the time to do it. If the student is ill and you would like to cancel both the session and the charge, email andrew@bravomath.com by 9am the morning of the appointment.

Interac eTransfer to andrew@bravomath.com is the preferred method. Checks made to Bravo Math Inc and cash are also accepted. When the month turns over, you will receive billing and scheduling information by email. Each family will also have access to a tutoring log, which tracks all sessions, charges, and payments.

No. This is a good since I would probably test at a grade 2-ish level in most other subjects. I can, though, help students organize their “math lives” which can give them the experience of being truly organized. I also know a woman who runs a tutoring network in Vancouver and can refer you to her.

Reason 1: Bravo Math seeks to transform students from remedial and demoralized to math stars, from students who cry over their times tables to success in selective engineering undergraduate programs. Many say they want this, then insist on paving their way to Math Hell with their behaviour - such as insisting on rote cramming, i.e. trying to learn 3+ years of math in 20 minutes - all while denying they are doing so. I refuse to partake; I have a no cramming policy. Read more details here.

Reason 2: If a patient goes 6 months between dental visits and never brushes their teeth, they should expect bad news from the dentist. If a student consistently goes between weekly tutoring sessions and never does homework nor classwork, they should expect bad news from me. Weekly tutoring alone is *not* enough to accomplish *anything*!

Reason 3: Of course, scheduling, logistics, and teaching style can also can cause problems.

Please know that I am very much aware that my tutoring has and will always have room for improvement. Candid feedback does me a favor… And it also helps current and future students! If you’d like to speak to me directly, feel free to tell me in person during a tutoring session, email, or call. Or, you can choose your own level of anonymity here with this form.

I strongly suggest creating a Khan Academy account and signing up for my class, whose # is Q4MC2H. This site will encourage students to prepare, practice, and review outside of tutoring to guarantee we make the most of the tutoring times.

Please keep all cell phones and other electronics off and packed away during lessons.

Students should bring their class notes, a binder, textbooks, calculator, and any homework or practice tests to lessons.

I don’t have a cell phone (really), so if you need to contact me, please do so in advance. My schedule does not allow for a lot of last-minute changes or bookings.

For students who need help tracking their homework, using a calendar, organizing their binder and materials, etc. expect the student and myself to spend 5-10 minutes on that each hour.
