Testimonials
I am not joking when I say my experience tutoring with Samer changed my life. When I first began tutoring with him, math was a subject I dreaded. It was never something I excelled in, was able to wrap my head around, or particularly enjoyed.
When he started taking the time to explain mathematical concepts to me, in such detail and with such passion, I began to learn at a capacity I never thought I’d be able to. Due to this newfound understanding, I started to enjoy the process of mathematical problem-solving using the skills he helped me develop. Math quickly became my favourite subject; I preferred doing math homework over other courses, was able to help my friends out with problems in class (and referred them to Samer for out-of-class help!), and for the first time I actually understood what I was learning.
Thanks to Samer, I graduated high school with 100% in both my grade 12 math courses, as well as a Level 7 on the IB SL Math Exam. I am now enrolled in Honours Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, so– evidently– I’m not exaggerating when I say Samer’s tutoring changed my life! Highly, highly recommend.

Seraj helped me immensely in grade 11 and 12 math. He has an ability to help you understand complex problems and help you understand complex concepts. Seraj also gives you very good studying and test taking tips to help you get the highest grade possible. He helps to implement good habits while solving problems which helps you understand and solve complex math problems quicker and more efficiently. Within a year and a half of work with Seraj, my math average increased 20%, allowing for me to be admitted into university. I would recommend Seraj to anyone who is underperforming in math or needs help with working through certain math problems. Seraj was a fantastic math tutor and I was very lucky to work with him.

Samer was a huge support for me through my years of high school. From grade 9 onwards he helped me develop and improve my math skills, with useful tips, and lessons which helped me understand new concepts well Though math was a subject I never particularly favoured, Samer made it a lot easier by constantly working with me to understand the subject, rather than memorize it. I really appreciate all the help he gave me throughout the last few years to build a strong foundation.

Samer has been an excellent tutor and supported my daughter in High school math. He was very patient and clarified concepts over and again when required. He provided weekly homework to check for understanding and followed up with feedback on the solutions. He communicated frequently with us parents and kept us in the loop of things. He also provided suggestions for extra resources to help improve learning and was genuinely involved in the learning goals of our daughter. We are thankful to him to have provided our daughter with a solid foundation of math concepts.

Samer has been a huge help to me. He has a way of making complicated concepts easy to understand. Instead of feeling lost in math, I find myself grasping and enjoying it.
What really stands out about Samer is his detailed notes. They’re easy to follow and have been an excellent resource when I need to revisit concepts after our sessions.
Samer also makes a point to check in regularly, making sure I’m not only keeping up but truly understanding.
The thing I appreciate most about Samer is that he’s tailored a math program just for me. It feels like he’s taken the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and that personal touch makes a big difference.
As a masters student, I have worked with several tutors in the past. However, Samer truly stands out and I have found my experience with him to be incredibly valuable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their math skills.
In short, Samer is a great tutor. He’s knowledgeable, clear, and genuinely invested in my learning. I’ve seen a lot of improvement in my understanding of math thanks to him.

It’s lucky to have a teacher like Seraj. Time is precious for students it will be a pity if you miss the best study time. A right teacher is the most important thing when I want to choose the teacher for my son.
In Seraj’s introduction, he mentioned that he would take the time to correct students’ homework, and I realized that he might be the teacher I was looking for.
The facts did not disappoint me. Seraj is a very responsible teacher, and he always takes time to grade and give specific advice. I never worry about his professional level; he has enough ability and knowledge to do his job.
I respect him for his teaching attitude, punctuality, seriousness, clarity, his own teaching philosophy and experience. He made a study plan according to my son’s situation, and I trust him.
Maybe I could find someone who was good at math, but I don’t think there are many teachers like Seraj who are both responsible and good at teaching.

I would to thank Samer and Existsforall Academy. Samer helped my son with Calculus and Advanced Functions for G12 and his teaching methods helped my son improve and progressed well in the subject. Samer is very organized and committed and you can rely on him to teach your kids and I recommend Samer and his Academy.

Parent of a grade 12 Ontario high school student
Without a doubt Seraj is one of if not the best tutor for proofs. His explanations are exceptional and easy to understand. If you are confused or don’t understand a topic he is willing to re-explain it in a way that you do. When completing homework and asking for feedback on it he will always tell you what you did correct and incorrect as well as give you a really detailed explanation on it. Overall, I would recommend Seraj to anyone who is looking for a tutor that is willing to go above and beyond for their students.
Vincent
First-year computer science student
Samer Seraj was the first person I contacted for help with my mathematical proofs course and I’m glad I did so. He’s been able to help me understand the course so much more than I could have on my own. Even when something was straightforward but I was confused he would politely explain it to me and didn’t hesitate to ask me and make sure that I understood everything he’s taught me so far.
Amjad
First-year computer science student
When I first started having tutoring sessions with Seraj over the summer I had great difficulty in understanding the course’s material and was very stressed about getting high enough marks to be accepted into the only program I cared about. By the time school started I still didn’t have a good grasp on the material, although the introduction of the concepts helped greatly in my understanding through the first half of the semester. During my time with Seraj he was very professional but at the same time his lessons were fun and enjoyable. He would always give out homework that he would grade and send feedback. If I ever felt like I didn’t understand a specific concept or problem it was very quick to contact him by email and he would provide explanations or plenty of extra practice material when asked. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects he teaches, by far the most helpful tutor I have ever had. I started as Seraj’s worst student yet ended up Getting the highest mark in the subject out of all his other students. I wouldn’t have made it without him and am very grateful for his support.
Stephan
First-year computer science student
The lessons were very clear, direct, and enhanced my logical and mathematical skills and knowledge. The instructor was knowledgeable, friendly and patient, which are great qualities to look for in tutors. The overall experience was very optimized for maximum results, in both productivity and clarity. The general process and structure to tackle each kind of problem were understandable and allowed me to properly outline all of my solutions. In a week’s time, we were able to cover new content, tackle problem set questions, and practice rigorously through textbook questions. The efforts go beyond the class, especially when receiving detailed feedback for my homework submissions, which helped me correct some of my mistakes. Without this experience, I would have lacked a lot of techniques, practice, and logical thinking to take on this course. This is a great supplement to the university instruction, and will only help you get further.
Sanjana
First-year computer science student
I contacted several tutors to find the right fit for my daughter (for proofs) when she got an admission offer from the University of Toronto. During my research, I determined Samer to be our best option and it worked out well. Samer not only taught but followed up during quizzes, exams and other times as necessary. He demonstrated flexibility when we had an ask (or two). Samer’s knowledge and ability to communicate is outstanding and I highly recommend him to others seeking help.
Hirani
Parent of a first-year computer science student
Samer is a dedicated man who ensures that his students fully understand every nook and cranny of the concepts he covers. Whenever he is contacted outside of tutoring hours he responds quickly and gives in-depth explanations to ensure that any misconceptions are correctly explained. This is very helpful when studying before tests and exams. Overall, Samer was a delightful person to work with and someone who truly inspires his students to do their best and try hard to succeed.

Seraj is the third tutor we’ve hired to help our son with middle school maths. We feel we’ve finally found in Seraj the professional, patient, supportive, and dedicated tutor that we’ve been hoping for. My son is starting to find the confidence in his maths skills that has always eluded him and Seraj’s patient teaching and positive reinforcement is a large part of that. Many thanks, Seraj.
