Efficiency + Good System + Care + Mutual Trust

= Excellent tutoring



123 Math and Chess Learning Centre (formerly called Vancouver Math and Chess Learning Centre) is delicated to helping students in their math studies to:

 

  • Catch up and be ease with their school work

  • Get ahead to get into the program you desire and to enable a wider choice in the future 

  • Improve their problem solving abilities 

 

Vancouver Math and Chess Learning Centre was established in 1995. In August 1996, the second year after Vancouver Math and Chess was established, Maria Ho joined as a teacher and eventually became the co-owner in 1997. All these years, Vancouver Math and Chess provided excellent guidance and assistance to elementary and secondary school students and paved the road for them to get into BC's most prestigious private secondary schools and major universities.

In March 2006, the Vancouver Math and Chess Learning Centre Inc. was dissolved and 123 Math and Chess was formed, headed by Maria, in the hopes of continuing the excellent tutoring service provided to our students.
