Client Testimonials
Westbrook is building a legacy, and we have countless families who have been part of that story over the last 35 years.
Many students stay with Westbrook tutors for a decade or more; parents use Westbrook for their children, and decades later, their grandchildren; former Westbrook students have grown up to become tutors themselves.
Read on to learn stories from real families like your about the impact Westbrook is making for the next generation.
“We have not hesitated to recommend her…”
Nicole was recommended to us by another parent over 10 years ago. Since that time she has tutored and taken an interest in our children’s success in all areas. My kids are now in high school and still look forward to working with Nicole and her team. She is caring, knowledgeable, and we have not hesitated to recommend her to many other families who are looking to enhance their children’s education.

“It felt like Nicole was part of our family…”
We have worked with Nicole and her team for 3 and half years and almost instantly, it felt like Nicole was a part of our family. From the beginning, Nicole has been invested in my children’s education, tailoring her teaching style to each of my children’s unique learning needs. Through her passion for teaching and positive energy, Nicole motivated my children to be engaged in what they are learning and elevating them to be their personal best. Nicole is reliable and flexible, she recognizes that our schedule is always changing and with that, she works around our busy life. I know she is genuinely committed to our family and the success of our children.

“Truly exceptional”
Mr. Rusnell has been my children’s tutor for the past 6 years and our experience with him has been truly exceptional.
His passion for teaching and simplifying challenging concepts has led to a major transformation in my children’s mathematical skills. The confidence they gained from Mr. Rusnell’s teaching method resulted in a better school performance, which further transpired to a new found passion for math and science. My children actually look forward to Mr. Rusnell’s lessons.
My son currently in grade 12 has declared that Mr. Rusnell is, not only the smartest, but is also his all time favourite teacher. We couldn’t be happier with Mr. Rusnell and would recommend him without an ounce of doubt.

“We are over the moon”
Our son achieved 94% on his last social studies test. It is so wonderful to see him achieve his potential in Social Studies. We are over the moon and I can tell he is becoming more confident and independent as well. I am hoping that he is at a stage of change where he is now ready to blossom.

“How fortunate I was to find Westbrook Tutoring!”
...As a busy mother of 4, homework was never easy. Nicole and her team helped me guide them through it with scheduled tutoring, as well as preparing properly for important exams and projects. She could always make time for my kids! I couldn’t have done it alone!

“Longevity, integrity and commitment”
Nicole and her company, Westbrook Tutoring, worked with our family for over 10 years. My husband and I hired her to work with our grandchild; she dedicated reliable, consistent service infused with a genuine passion for the work she was doing. Our grandson worked well with her, eager to attend their multiple weekly classes.
We would highly recommend Nicole and her Westbrook Team to any family seeking longevity, integrity and commitment to the academic pursuits of their children, including all ages and competencies. Her high expectations of student commitment build a trusting rapport and a structure on which they can build a healthy academic trajectory.

“You have taken the stress out of math”
Westbrook Tutoring is fantastic. Before them, we tried university students and even another company. My kids are now getting A’s in math but not only that they really enjoy their sessions. I admit I was skeptical about having them do online math tutoring but Nicole nailed picking the tutor to match our family.
Thank you Westbrook Tutoring. You have taken the stress out of math in this house!

“The kids both love you...”
The kids both love you so much and you have made such a difference in their skills and confidence, I have no doubt you could make such a difference all over Canada!

“We are forever in your debt...”
My son has successfully now completed High School and has done extremely well, not least as a result of the assistance of all at Westbrook Tutoring. He did very well in the Diploma Exams and was accepted into BSc Honours programs at international and national universities.
He, and we, are very excited and to say that we couldn’t have done this without you would truly be an understatement. Our enduring gratitude goes out to yourself, Lorne, Emmy, and all of the tutors who worked with my son over the last two years to help him get to this place. We are forever in your debt.
We are equally grateful for the work done this year with my daughter and she looks forward to continuing with your colleagues next, and in the coming years.
Thank you again to all involved in our success this year. We look forward to continuing to work with you and your staff over the coming years.

“Our child has a new approach to math”
Lorne is the absolute best math tutor we have had.
He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. Our child used to view math with a lot of stress and anxiety but she now approaches math with a lot of confidence and calmness. She has a new approach to math and her grades reflect her success. Lorne is very engaging and builds a good relationship with his students.
We are very grateful to Lorne for all he has done for our family. Thank you, Lorne.

“Guided me through countless concepts with clarity and patience”
I’ve been with Lorne Rusnell for nearly five years, and I can confidently say he is an incredibly well-rounded mathematics and physics tutor. From Grade 9 through my first year of engineering, he has guided me through countless concepts with clarity and patience, leaving me with immeasurable growth in my math and physics skills.
What sets Lorne apart is his versatility. In addition to teaching the Alberta math curriculum, he has also coached me for various math and physics competitions, equipping me with the tools and confidence to succeed. His depth of knowledge, combined with his ability to explain even the most complex ideas in a simple way, makes learning both effective and enjoyable.
Lorne truly does it all—whether it’s preparing for exams, tackling advanced material, or training for competitions, he always brings out the best in his students. I am grateful for the foundation he has helped me build, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to excel in math and physics.

Case Study:
Jillian and Gordie Seikaly
We started with Westbrook Tutoring in grade two, when we were both highly unmotivated and unsuccessful in our studies. Our parents suggested that we get a tutor, and that is when our teacher suggested we start working with Nicole and Westbrook Tutoring.
Throughout elementary, junior high, and high school, we worked with Nicole and saw significant increases in our marks and work ethic.
Now, we are both entering our third year of university at the University of Alberta with 4.0 averages in sciences and hopes of getting into medical school. Nicole not only helped us academically and made us feel supported in any venture but also became a part of the family.
Nicole is amazing; she cares so deeply for every one of her students, making sure they are happy and set up to achieve all their goals.
Both of us are incredibly proud of Nicole’s continuous hard work needed to build this fantastic company. Nicole taught us to work hard, stay disciplined and consistent, and dream big. We are forever grateful to Nicole and Westbrook Tutoring. Without Nicole’s guidance and unwavering support, as well as her amazing team, we would likely not be where we are today.
From years of experience, we can both confidently say that this is the route to take if you need help with school and want to improve your education.
