Calculus III - power series, Taylor’s theorem, vector geometry, vector functions and curves, partial differentiation, differential calculus for vector valued functions, extremal problems, multiple integrals, surface area, change of variables
Advanced Calculus - Differential and integral calculus of vector fields, Green's theorem, Gauss's theorem, Stokes' theorem
Differential Equations - ODEs, PDEs, separation of variables, Sturm-Liouville problems, Fourier series
Physics (Mechanics) - forces, Newtonian mechanics, oscillations, harmonic oscillators, circular motion, fluids, momentum
Physics (Electromagnetism) - laws of electricity and magnetism, circuits, equivalent circuits, electrical energy
Physics (Waves) - travelling waves, standing waves, sound, interference of light waves, diffraction, optics
Fluid Mechanics - incompressible and compressible flow, supersonic nozzle design
Thermodynamics - thermodynamic systems and laws, energy, work, heat
Relevant for high school students as well as university undergraduates taking any type of math or physics course. This includes all 100, 200 and some 300 level MATH, PHYS and MECH university courses. Tutoring offered by Myles can include help on assignments, re-explaining lecture concepts and test/exam preparation. Brief details on concepts to be covered or assignments are to be sent to tutor ahead of time for preparation. All Zoom sessions are recorded and uploaded to a private, shared folder to allow for future reference and to enable students to review concepts from past sessions.
One hour sessions available in a very flexible schedule, contact info@mylesaheadtutoring.com to book a time. Trial session is $30/hour, subsequent sessions are $60/hour.
Myles studied engineering at McGill University earning his B.Eng in Honours Mechanical and M.Eng in Mechanical Engineering with an explosive engineering speciality. He was employed as a Teaching Assistant at McGill University for four years: two years instructing Advanced Calculus and two years instructing Supersonic Fluid Mechanics. He also has five years experience as a private tutor, providing assistance with math and physics concepts ranging in level from junior high to university undergraduate. He has a passion for instructing and also regularly led independent “crash course” exam preparation sessions that were attended by 30-40 people. He is currently employed as an engineering physicist at a nuclear fusion research company, specializing in plasma physics data analysis and neutron measurement and identification using machine learning.

"Myles is an exceptional tutor who has helped our son understand the concepts of the material in his pre-calculus course. Myles explains everything thoroughly, has a wonderful sense of humor, and has made a great connection with our son. What's great too is that he records their sessions and my son can always go back and review them when needed. Thank you, Myles, for helping our son. You go above and beyond and we are so happy we found you!" -Alana, Burnaby
★★★★★
"I had Myles tutor me on Calculus 3 and some material from another Engineering Math course. He was very well prepared for our lessons--I appreciated him always going through problems & textbook content I had highlighted before our sessions--and used an online whiteboard which made notes and diagrams clear to read. He's excellent at explaining difficult concepts, responsive over email and genuinely cares about his students. Overall, a very positive experience and I would recommend Myles without hesitation. Thank you, Myles!" -Joel, Toronto

"Myles has been tutoring me in physics and calculus courses for the last few months via zoom throughout Covid. I really appreciate how prepared he is for every lesson. Some weeks I needed a few extra lessons and he has always been very accommodating with scheduling. I really enjoy his teaching style and I can come to him with any questions or concerns, he has a great positive attitude and I would recommended Myles to anyone!" -April, Vancouver
★★★★★
"I had Myles tutor me for first year Physics. He helped me get a solid understanding of concepts instead of just memorizing solutions. He was always prepared for our Zoom sessions and I found the recorded videos very useful for follow-up study. Would definitely recommend him!" -Taylor, Montreal
