Student story
From Toronto high school to Architectural Engineering at Waterloo
Nicole, a 2025 University of Waterloo Architectural Engineering graduate, studied mathematics and science with the Tutoring Club through elementary and high school. She credits the support with helping her reach a high-80s Grade 12 average and later understand demanding university subjects including calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, chemistry, and electrical circuits—especially during pandemic-era online learning.
