Your university classes.
Made simpler.

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

Depending on the course, students can access weekly tutorials, crash courses, practice problems, mock quizzes and mock exams designed to help them understand difficult material and prepare for assessments.

Grade Grinders gives you course-specific university support without having to book individual tutoring sessions.

You can learn on your own schedule with structured tutorials, worked examples, crash courses and exam practice created specifically for the course you're taking.

For students who want help throughout the semester, our weekly tutorials provide a structured way to keep up with the material as it's taught.

Most free study resources teach a subject broadly. Grade Grinders focuses on specific university courses.

That means the topics, examples and practice are selected around what you're actually learning in class rather than a general accounting, calculus, economics or finance curriculum.

You spend less time searching for relevant explanations and more time working on the material you actually need.

Grade Grinders provides course-specific support for university students, including courses at Concordia University and McGill University.

Our course selection includes accounting, commerce, finance, economics, mathematics, science and other subjects.

Available weekly tutorials, crash courses, mock quizzes and mock exams vary by course, so check your university and course page to see what's currently available.

Yes. Exam preparation is a major part of Grade Grinders.

Depending on your course, you can use crash courses to review key material, work through exam-style problems and take mock quizzes or mock exams to test your understanding before your midterm or final.

If you want support throughout the semester, weekly tutorials can help you stay on top of the material before exam season arrives.

Where mock exams are offered, they are based on past exams and designed to help you practise applying what you've learned through realistic, exam-style questions.

They're a chance to test your knowledge, identify areas where you need more practice and get more comfortable working through the kinds of problems you may encounter in an exam setting.

Mock exam availability varies by course.

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

Weekly tutorials can help you work through topics you've missed, while crash courses are designed for students who need a more concentrated review before an assessment.

Because the materials are available online, you can focus first on the topics giving you the most trouble and work through them on your own schedule.

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

Many of our Concordia courses are taught by Concordia or JMSB graduates who have firsthand experience with the material and understand the kinds of problems students encounter in class and on exams.

You can learn more about the instructor for each course on its course page.

What's included depends on your course and the product you choose.
