Grade Grinders is an online university tutoring and exam-prep platform built around specific university courses.

Depending on the course, students can use weekly tutorials, crash courses, practice questions, mock quizzes and mock exams to understand difficult material and prepare for assessments.

Instead of teaching a subject in general, Grade Grinders focuses on the material, problem types and skills relevant to the university course you're actually taking.

Grade Grinders provides course-specific university tutoring and exam prep for supported courses at universities including Concordia University and McGill University.

Subjects include accounting, commerce, finance, economics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics and other university courses.

Course availability changes by semester, so check your university page to see what's currently available.

Grade Grinders offers several types of university course and exam support.

Weekly tutorials help you keep up with course material throughout the semester.

Crash courses provide focused review before a quiz, midterm or final exam.

Mock quizzes and mock exams give you the opportunity to practise applying what you've learned under exam-style conditions.

The exact combination available depends on your course.

Grade Grinders is designed around structured, course-specific learning rather than one-on-one tutoring appointments.

You can work through recorded tutorials, examples and exam-prep materials on your own schedule without arranging individual sessions.

Depending on your course and product, additional instructor support may also be available.

YouTube and other free resources are useful for learning general concepts. Grade Grinders is different because our materials are built around specific university courses.

That means you spend less time searching through generic explanations and more time working on topics, examples and exam-style problems that are relevant to your course.

Yes. Midterm and final exam preparation is a major part of Grade Grinders.

Depending on your course, you can use crash courses to review key material, practise with exam-style questions and complete mock quizzes or mock exams before your assessment.

Weekly tutorials can also help you build your understanding throughout the semester so you're not starting from scratch at exam time.

Where mock exams are offered, they are based on past exams and designed to give you realistic exam-style practice.

They're designed to help you test your understanding, identify weak areas and practise applying course concepts before your real midterm or final.

Mock exam availability varies by course.

You can start using Grade Grinders at any point in the semester.

If you've fallen behind, you can focus first on the topics you're struggling with and work through available recorded tutorials and practice materials on your own schedule.

If an exam is approaching, a crash course can provide a more concentrated review of the material you need to revisit.

Grade Grinders courses are created and taught by experienced instructors who know the subjects and courses they teach.

Many of our Concordia courses are taught by Concordia or JMSB graduates with firsthand experience with the material.

Instructor experience varies by course, and you can learn more about your instructor on the individual course page.

Many Grade Grinders courses include free tutorials or preview content so you can see the teaching style and course material before purchasing.
