(Last Update: June 10, 2026)
Hello! I’m George Bobotsis, a well-established, local tutor and runner of GeorgeTutors, armed with a MSc in Astrophysics and ready to help! Over my now 10 years in teaching I’ve been a part of the success of more than 1000 students (no exaggeration) in university and high school like you! I am working full-time in education, with a vision to create something that I would’ve wanted to exist when I was an undergrad myself! I’ve sectioned my ad below so you can quickly find any information you desire with a quick CTRL+F search! :)

1.1: MY EXPERIENCE
======================================
I began my teaching endeavours in 2016 as a humble TA at University of Waterloo. I quickly grew to enjoy sharing ideas and information with others and challenged myself to better my communication, acquire more knowledge in the courses I instructed, and expand my reach into new ones! From a fully certified and multiple award-winning TA to a respected college professor and everything in-between, you can rest assured you are not hiring a beginner to assist you here!
I don’t want this to be about me though, rather about what you can get out of me as your tutor. If however you are curious about the details of my past work you can visit:

1.2: A TYPICAL TUTORIAL
===============================================
Picture this. You just covered topic “x” in class but you have no clue what it’s about and how it connects to the previous topics “y” and “z” you covered last week. You are stressed, so you decide book a session with me. I provide a holistic approach, explaining exactly how the previous topics work and how they connect to the one you’re on now. I create problems on-the-spot, fully adjusted to the topics you inquired about. I make quick descriptive notes of equations/methods while explaining. You are able to jump-in and write/talk/comment at any moment in time, or simply observe and be asked questions at key points by me if you so desire. Your topics get explained, the sample problems solved. What was it that was stressing you again?....
Now let’s picture this. You are instead assigned a seemingly impossible problem by your teacher. You’re stressed again, so you decide to book a session. You come in, the question is already in-view and we begin working through it. You’re missing necessary concepts? I fill the gaps. You asked a trivial question about the problem? I answer with ZERO criticism. You see terminology you’ve never heard before? I define it in simple layman’s terms for you in multiple different ways. You want to go over another similar problem to the one you showed me? I pull one out of the HUNDREDS I have in my own problem repository and edit it to your needs. You want a pattern about how to handle similar problems? I try to develop one for you. Your problem is solved and you learned how to handle similar ones too…
And for the finale, picture this now. A challenging course is coming up next term, so you reach out in order to prepare for it beforehand. I design a tailored plan that brings you in on the weekly and attacks each of the course’s topics to your personally desired depth. Each of your tutorials is filled with notes on approach tactics and problems of high educational value demonstrating every approach in depth. I assign you homework that trails the work you did in-session with me. Nearing the end of the prep we solve mock exam questions as if you were writing that course’s final exam. Your course begins now, and suddenly you are in a better shape tackling it than 95% of your classmates…
I think you get the point. Joining my tutorials is the gateway to thorough training, clear guidance and straightforward answers. In university, your time is MARKS. Don’t waste your time pulling all-nighters, searching ancient forums from 2010, or trying to develop the perfect prompt for an AI tool to painstakingly explain each step of a process to you when your tutor can do that in a timely and effective manner.
1.3: CAN I TRUST IN YOU?
====================================================
You can rest assured by the countless previous students that have left me their own testimonies about their experience on my:
1) Google Reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/HEg7f7z
2) Facebook Reviews:
https://www.facebook.com/gbobotsi/reviews
3) LinkedIn Recommendations:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/gbobo94
4) Old emails before I had online presence:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AmVMbJT1ynfXJpILnaLU748fYKF5dJFw?usp=sharing
These are real students, from real classes just like yours that have received exactly what they sought, that is, top-caliper assistance with upmost respect of the student and their time.
2.1: HOW DOES YOUR SERVICE OPERATE?
=================================================
I host students every day from about 2pm to 10pm Monday-Friday. Bookings are done through my personal calendly system (link provided upon inquiry). In-person, I host students from my residence at East Waterloo, where I’ve established a mini classroom setting with a large whiteboard at my basement level. My home is a 10 min ride with the 202 + a 2 min walk from Seagram drive. Much less frequently I host larger groups on campus at a booked library room or empty classroom. Virtually I host students on Discord using OneNote and a touchscreen PC + Smart-Pen combo which makes the experience feel very much like one in-person!
Time is charged only for instruction and if going over the booked time it is rounded to the nearest 5 minutes to maintain fairness. Time charged starts when instruction begins and finishes when instruction ends. No charging for chit chats! :) Payments can be provided either via cash or e-transfer.
There is a referral bonus system and a cancellation policy in place. Members of group tutorials have some extra rules in place about absences and material sharing. If you’d like to read about these in more detail please visit https://georgetutors.com/info-rules/. A promissory note must be signed between tutor and tutee to confirm the student is aware and conformant to these rules but also to prevent fraudulent activity. This “Promissory Note” can easily be found on the aforementioned webpage.
I take pride in running an honest and upfront service. No hidden costs, no pre-deposits, no asterisks and no small-writing on agreements, nothing! It’s as simple as coming in, learning and paying for the time instructed!
2.2: WHAT TYPES OF TUTORIALS DO YOU HOST?
=======================================
1. 1-on-1s
• Private setting if fully-maintained, you have full-attention, you can direct the entirety of the tutorial toward everything you desire and you can participate from answering my questions all the way to solving a problem under my corrective supervision. The cost of 1on1 is its only downfall, however it is the best option for quickly catching up to a course you have fallen behind and regaining a sense of control!
2. Small Groups, 2-3 students
• Private setting is fully maintained, you still have considerable attention, you need to cooperate however with your group members in choosing the topic or question to investigate next. I may bring you up to the board or direct a question specifically to you! In general groups of this size tend to agree in unison on what to do so there’s no worry of not getting what you want in this setting! Plus you can make some great study buddies for working outside the tutorial too! Best value in my opinion! This option is best for caught-up students trying to stay caught-up in their courses and is the best value-for-service ratio! :)
3. Large Groups, 4+ students
• This setting is now more similar to a class tutorial, you have less attention, and less ability to control where to move on next as more members have to agree with you. Questions are asked by me to the group as a whole, so you are only participating by electing to answer those. This setting is best for reviewing midterms and finals, as members generally are caught up in the course and in consensus with what review problems they want to cover! I would not recommend this setting to newcomers or people that are far behind on their course!
2.3: RATES
========================
I believe in an honest and detailed description of my charging rates. Hence, I’ve simplified everything by creating a scheme that is ALL-INCLUSIVE, so you don’t have to think much. This means:
--> TAX IS INCLUDED
--> NO FEES for registration, lesson planning, material accessing, blah blah blah…
--> NO CHARGES for simple check-in phonecalls, updates, and communication
--> NO SURPRISE PRICE HIKES, rates are signed and honored throughout an academic term a
