Free education platform · Montreal · McGill, Quebec and French AEFE programmes

Lost confidence in math or science, at school or at McGill? An education platform to win it back, and a tutor in Montreal if needed.

LeTuteurScientifique is a free education platform written by a single math, physics, chemistry and computer science tutor in Montreal, for the Quebec programme, the French AEFE curriculum (Lycée Marie de France, Collège Stanislas) and the first-year courses at McGill and Concordia. 735 sets of exercises a student will struggle to find anywhere else online, each with a real, detailed solution; 598 method sheets to discover a chapter, then master it; a personal space that tracks their progress and says what to tackle next. Confidence comes back through practice, and the student walks into the exam properly prepared. When that is not enough, the tutor who wrote every solution takes over, in person or online.

The platform is not enough? The tutor is there, in Montreal in person or online.

A complete education platform, with a tutor behind it

One set and one sheet per chapter, matched to the real exams of the AEFE schools, Quebec schools, CEGEP and McGill courses. Every set is checked on the page, exercise by exercise, with the trap named when the answer is wrong; every sheet gives the expected method, the exam traps and the write-up that earns the marks. The right resources for a student to walk into the exam properly prepared, all open and free. Most of the library is in French, following the French and Quebec curricula; the 110 McGill, Concordia and CEGEP sets are written entirely in English.

My account: what it adds

Self-checked exercises, with points

Students type their answer and check it question by question: the page says right or wrong and names the trap. With an account, 10 points per answer right on the first try, and their right answers stay filled in when they come back to finish.

An exam date, a plan day by day

Students note the date and the chapters of their next test or midterm. The dashboard tells them each day where to start and at what pace, and when time is short it puts first the chapters the others build on.

A notebook of their own traps

Every answer missed on the first try lands there, chapter by chapter, with the trap behind it. Before the exam, students reread their own mistakes, and a trap is beaten the day they find the right answer.

Their courses, and the next step computed

Students give their level and tick their courses: the dashboard lays them out chapter by chapter. A check of one question per chapter sorts straight away what they master and what to work on, and the site, which knows the prerequisites, says which chapter to tackle next.

Ask for what is missing

A type of exercise missing, a problem they are stuck on, a mistake in a solution? Students say so at the bottom of the page. I read every request, and when the exercise is added they hear about it by email and on their dashboard.

Done, to review, and pick up where they left off

Students tick the exercises they have done, flag the ones to redo, and bookmark a chapter. From phone to laptop, the dashboard brings them back to the last set they opened.

One email, no password

Students enter their address, receive a six-digit code, type it in. Nothing to remember and nothing else to give: no name, no school, no phone number.

One account, several profiles

A family with two children in middle school keeps a single account and one space per child. From age 14, students open their own.

Nothing is locked behind sign-up: the whole site stays open without an account.

About

Ahmed Squalli Houssaini, tutor in Montreal

A science and math tutor in Montreal for more than 10 years, I offer personalized tutoring in mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science. I work with secondary school, CEGEP and university students, and with students of the French collège and lycée, in the Quebec, French AEFE and English programmes. Regular homework help or exam preparation, every session is adapted to what the student needs right now.

My method puts understanding before memorizing. Each session is adapted to the student's level and goals, whether that means filling gaps, preparing an exam or going deeper into a topic.

I studied at McGill and Concordia myself, so first-year university students get a tutor who has sat the same courses, the same midterms and the same finals.

More by subject: math tutor in Montreal, physics tutor in Montreal, chemistry tutor in Montreal , COMP 202 tutor and PHYS 101 tutor.

Education

✓ B.Sc. Computer Science, Finance and Mathematics, McGill University
✓ M.Sc. Applied Computer Science, Concordia University
✓ French Baccalauréat, Mathematics speciality
✓ 10+ years tutoring in Montreal

How it works

From the first message to regular follow-up, here is exactly what to expect.

  1. 1

    First contact

    You message me on WhatsApp or through the form: grade or course, school or university, subjects, what is getting in the way. I reply quickly and we set up a first session, no commitment.

  2. 2

    Diagnostic session

    The first session takes stock: what is solid, what is really blocking (often upstream of the current chapter) and the goals for the term.

  3. 3

    A personal plan and the first sessions

    We consolidate the foundations, then move forward with progressive exercises up to the real level of the exams. Every session ends with a clear summary, for the student and for the parents.

  4. 4

    Support between sessions

    A problem that will not budge, a doubt the night before a test or an assignment deadline: the student messages me between classes. It is included, and it is often where confidence gets built.

  5. 5

    Exam preparation

    As deadlines approach (school tests, Ministry exams, Brevet, Bac, CEGEP finals, McGill midterms and finals), we switch to exam mode: past papers, timed conditions, careful write-ups.

What changes after a few weeks

  • ✓ The student tries again before saying "I can't do it"
  • ✓ Chapters that seemed impossible become chapters like any other
  • ✓ Homework and assignments get done without a fight, with a working method that holds
  • ✓ Exams are approached prepared, not with a knot in the stomach

The goal is not only to pass the next test: it is for the student to be able, one day, to work alone with confidence.

Ahmed s'est occupé de plusieurs de mes enfants pour des cours particuliers de maths en 1ère et Terminale, et nous avons toujours été ravis de son aide. Au-delà de ses grandes qualités pédagogiques, il connaît parfaitement le système français et ses attentes, ce qui fait toute la différence. Il sait mettre les élèves en confiance, s'adapter à leur niveau et les faire progresser efficacement, toujours dans une bonne ambiance. Une très belle rencontre que je recommande chaleureusement !

Avis Google

Je connais Ahmed depuis de nombreuses années. C'est le meilleur tuteur que mes enfants aient eu. Très pédagogue, il sait expliquer avec simplicité les mathématiques, la physique, la chimie, ainsi que les compléments québécois (2nd, 1ère et terminale). La meilleure façon d'évaluer un bon tuteur, c'est par les résultats de ses élèves. Et Ahmed ne déçoit jamais : il livre la marchandise haut la main. Mon aîné, qui étudie actuellement en ingénierie, a énormément progressé grâce à lui, et Ahmed a joué un rôle clé dans sa réussite. Il est patient, trouve plusieurs manières d'aborder un problème, et le décompose étape par étape pour mieux le résoudre. Il accompagne ses élèves, s'adapte à leur rythme, et reste exigeant, ce qui fait toute la différence. Il s'investit à 100 % dans son travail. Je ne peux que lui adresser d'excellents mots : c'est la crème de la crème en matière de tutorat.

Avis Google

Je recommande vivement Ahmed pour son expertise. Il accompagne mes enfants en mathématiques et physique-chimie, et sa connaissance parfaite du programme français (AEFE) a fait une vraie différence dans leurs résultats. C'est un tuteur très pédagogue qui sait préparer les élèves aux attentes du Brevet et du Baccalauréat avec beaucoup de sérieux et de rigueur à Montréal.
