“I began working with Frazer during the summer of grade 10 through 11, and during this time, I got to know one of the most intelligent and charismatic individuals. Frazer’s unique style of teaching is personalized to each student, and he introduces real-world scenarios to his questions, which helped me gain a better understanding of the concepts. Frazer also genuinely cares about his students, frequently checking in with me and always prioritizing my well-being. By adding humour, puns, and personal anecdotes, Frazer provided me with a sense of comfort and created a learning environment where I wasn’t afraid to take risks and push myself. Over time, Frazer has also become a valuable friend and mentor who always has my best interests in mind, but also provides me with advice from all perspectives so that I can make an informed decision. What I appreciated the most about Frazer was that he always supported me through the highs and lows, and never once doubted my abilities. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Frazer, as outside of the phenomenal standardized test preparation lessons, students will also leave with a lifelong mentor to help them achieve their dreams. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything, Frazer!”

“I can not talk about my high school experience without mentioning one of the most influential people I met along the way. When I first started looking for an SAT tutor, I was not expecting much more than another teacher and a source of stress. However, from the get-go, I could tell that Frazer was different. The way he interweaved humour with his world-class knowledge made learning the SAT a breeze. His tips and tricks made the test seem like child’s play, while his planned and personalized lessons taught me lessons for life. I have used Frazer’s knowledge for much more than the SAT; the skills I have learned with him have helped me with internship applications and even my own in school work. Most importantly, Frazer’s belief in my strengths pushed me to reach my limits beyond what I thought possible. Beyond a tutor, I consider Frazer a great friend and mentor who allowed me to achieve my dreams.”

“Where do I even begin with Frazer? When I first met Frazer, he told me that I might initially feel intimidated by the style of his lessons but that I’d swiftly click and actually end up having a lot of fun. He couldn’t have been more correct. Frazer’s lessons are fast-paced and witty but ultimately extremely effective. Right off the bat, Frazer asked me what my goals were and since then he has never stopped believing in me. While so many teachers and other individuals told me to reevaluate my goals, Frazer always taught me to take myself seriously and to have no fear of dreaming big. Choosing to work with Frazer was one of the best decisions I made in high school and his enthusiasm for teaching far surpasses that of the many teachers I’ve encountered. A key thing that made working with Frazer so special is all the anecdotes he would share about his former students from my school who ended up going to top universities. Sharing these stories made me feel confident that I was walking on the path, the right path, of other students whom I look up to. Helping me maximize my ACT score was just a fraction of what Frazer was able to bring to our time together. With Frazer’s pieces of advice constantly running through my mind and motivating me to go further in every facet of life, I have no hesitation in recommending Frazer; you’ll end up finding a friend and mentor for life—I definitely did.”

“Words cannot explain the impact Frazer has had on me. With his highly effective and engaging teaching style, my ACT score improved by 8 points from taking my first practice test prior to starting with him to taking the actual test! His lessons are packed with strategies and techniques that not only make the information memorable but are also applicable beyond just the scope of the SAT/ACT. Many of the skills he taught me while preparing for the ACT were easily applicable to preparing for and taking the BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test) for UK Medical Schools, which led to my offer to study Medicine at the University of Oxford as an international applicant. That just scratches the surface of Frazer’s impact on me. Beyond test prep, Frazer takes the time to connect with each of his students through personal anecdotes, advice, and life lessons which make classes more engaging, and also stick with students. I strongly recommend Frazer to anyone looking for an excellent ACT/SAT tutor. Thank you for everything, Frazer!”

“I cannot express enough gratitude towards Frazer for the invaluable assistance he provided me throughout my high school journey. He is an exceptional teacher who genuinely prioritizes the success and growth of his students. Frazer’s tutorials were amazing, and I can confidently say that he could teach any concept more effectively in five minutes than most tutors could in an hour. Every session with Frazer during my test preparation became something I eagerly anticipated, as he effortlessly made each class enjoyable and captivating. Upon completing my test prep, I attained a score that I never believed I could achieve when I first commenced my studies with Frazer. His unwavering support instilled in me a newfound sense of confidence and readiness on the day of the test. Additionally, Frazer consistently exceeded expectations by extending his assistance beyond SAT test preparation. He willingly provided me with additional guidance and advice concerning my academics and extracurricular activities. Frazer’s dedication transformed him from a mere tutor into a mentor who played a pivotal role in my high school success and university admissions. He enabled me to recognize strengths within myself and helped me uncover my true potential as a student. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Frazer to any student who aspires to attain an exceptional score on the ACT/SAT. His expertise, guidance, and genuine care for his students make him an invaluable resource for test preparation.”

However, from the start, I was thoroughly impressed by his profound knowledge and infectious enthusiasm which he conveyed in every teaching session. Each interaction was utilized to the maximum extent, with Frazer ensuring my comprehension of all topics and strategies pertaining to my college entrance exams. He further enhanced my understanding by relating the material to real-world scenarios and anecdotes. As the testing date approached, I found myself equipped with newfound confidence unlike any I had experienced during previous tests. I firmly maintain that given your commitment, Frazer can significantly augment your testing capabilities and resilience. I unequivocally recommend his ACT program to any student!”

“I began scheduling sessions with Frazer at the onset of my junior year and ever since, his influence on my academic growth and overall development has been considerably positive. His tutorial sessions were not only interesting but also highly effective. Frazer excelled at breaking down concepts for thorough understanding, always ensuring my full comprehension of the subject matter. The SAT knowledge, tactics, and shortcuts that he imparted are invaluable and go beyond what one can glean from textbooks alone. My time spent with Frazer has led to more than just rote learning; it has expanded my intellectual horizons. Frazer himself is an intriguing individual and a steadfast supporter. He has proven to be both a guide and role model during my high school years, especially throughout the university application process. I am deeply thankful for stumbling upon Frazer during a period of academic stress. I would emphatically recommend him to anyone gearing up for the SAT or ACT exams.”

On the day of the actual exam, I found myself considerably more relaxed than during the practice tests I had taken prior to partnering with Frazer. His distinctive mix of wit and engagement not only enhances test strategy development but also ignites a genuine interest in the subject matter. Frazer is more than a mere tutor; he’s a devoted mentor dedicated to his students’ success. My deepest gratitude to you, Frazer!”

Having Frazer not only as a tutor but as a coach to guide me through this time was undeniably essential to my success. Frazer takes the time to teach material that will appear on the SAT while also preparing you for more advanced and challenging questions beyond the textbooks. He teaches you about the tricks to ace any standardized test, a unique skill that I and many of his students will use in our future careers. His unwavering support and guidance is what motivated me through the daunting admissions process. Thank you, Frazer!”

“Beyond simply being my ACT tutor, Frazer’s unique philosophy on life compelled me to explore my passions further. I remember the first time I walked into Frazer’s office, seeing the five different skulls, instantly signaling that this man is no ordinary tutor. Aside from the ACT lessons, Frazer always found ways to connect the content of our lessons to real-world applications. He would tell me stories about how he discovered Pythagoras’s theorem from his childhood kitchen tiles pattern. In another instance, following a practice ACT Reading section, Frazer dived into the historical and political significance of the term “bourgeois” — detailing its origins in France and its 20th-century political implications. I can confidently say that I learned a lot more per hour with Frazer than at my school. Beyond instilling the necessary knowledge to take the ACT, Frazer prepared me for life in college as well. As a rising Junior, I can say in hindsight, my time with Frazer had the most significant impact on my high school to college academic journey.”

“Frazer isn’t just someone who’ll enable you to get a 35 on your ACT; I could’ve achieved that with any other provider or on my own. However, what I’ve gotten out of my lessons was far more valuable than just getting a high mark on some meaningless standardized test. Throughout the months that I’ve worked with him, Frazer has challenged me to think beyond the course material and develop a genuine appreciation and interest for physics, which in my opinion is something money will never buy. He has also instilled in me the confidence and ambition to reach for whatever I want to be, and it has paid off. Maybe I’m delusional. But I sure will not be satisfied with anything less.”

“Frazer tutored me in ACT, SAT, and SAT Math II, which included seminar-style classes, small online group classes, and online private lessons. Every class was a mix between laughing at Frazer’s humour, being astonished by his heroic stories of students conquering the tests, crying of happiness for finally getting 20 additional points on the mock SAT, or occasionally screaming of frustration thinking we would never be able to attain that golden acceptance letter. Yet, he would quickly reassure us to keep our heads high and our vision wide. In class, we not only learned about the ultimate strategies to conquer the mighty standardized tests but he also showed us how to view the world through a different lens, teaching us that there is no such thing as the impossible. Frazer cheered me on from the beginning of the race in grade 10 until the finish line in grade 12, believing in me and coaching me every step of the way. He was not only an amazing teacher but he has now become a lifelong mentor. There are no words to describe how thankful I am for everything he has done for me. Frazer is one-of-a-kind!”

“Walking into my first SAT class in the summer before tenth grade, the sense of dread that I initially felt at spending part of my summer indoors quickly vanished when I met our instructor, Frazer. With his high energy, humor, enthusiasm, and crazy stories, he motivated us to give it our all. Math has never been my personal strong suit and it was my biggest fear when approaching standardized tests. Yet, Frazer made math seem easy, enabling me to do complex problems in a matter of seconds using the plethora of tips and tricks he offered. While I also enjoyed many private lessons with Frazer, my personal favorites were the group SAT and ACT sessions I enrolled in. By bringing out my competitive side in these classes and encouraging the “tiger” within me to show itself, Frazer allowed me to reach levels I never thought possible within all SAT/ACT subject areas. He taught me to never give up, to always persevere, to not doubt my abilities, and it is in part because of him and the ACT score he led me to achieve, that I will be attending my dream school, Claremont McKenna next fall.”

He taught me how to get results by going through the most effective and short method possible – and that is the secret ingredient to achieving a high score on standardized tests. He grabbed my attention in the first minute of the first lesson. He has a special talent for engaging each student, speaks with a remarkable vocabulary, and gives intuitive tips which, with practice, become subconsciously ingrained in the student’s mind. Reminding myself of his advice during the test is what made me succeed. It is clear that Frazer is passionate about the work he does and nothing matters more to him than seeing his students succeed.

It was indubitably the best investment I have ever made. SAT lessons with Frazer were fun as he has an innovative way of going through the traditional SAT. His multimedia slideshows are both entertaining and effective. As well, he uses language and anecdotes that make the content easier to absorb. As a matter of fact, in the first six lessons we had, I improved my SAT score by 180 points. Working with Frazer went way beyond test prep. He stayed with me after our tutorials were over, debating varied topics, and also served as my mentor. I would call him at odd hours, yet he was always very attentive to my concerns.

His work is single-handedly responsible for their admittance to their top choice universities, in the early decision – first round. It was such a relief to hear, on December 15, that both boys were all set and had no worries for the remainder of their senior year. Our boys are so different and Frazer showed incredible skill at connecting with them, drawing the best out of each one, and keeping them interested in the subject matter, no matter what. He nurtured and encouraged their interests, motivated them to do well and to step out of their comfort zone, and boosted their self-confidence. Frazer, we can’t thank you enough and will think of you forever with a great deal of gratitude. See you at the boys’ graduation.”

Our acquaintance with Frazer began as happenstance: His Can-Am Test Prep Academy sessions were conveniently being held at our school and it was the first and only place we looked. Frazer proved to be a particularly intuitive and engaging educator and after each session, Matthew would speak of his admiration for Frazer and his teaching style, and that was good for us. Later on, I had the opportunity to observe his teaching in a private “wrap-up” session and I was very impressed with Frazer’s enthusiastic and entertaining style of teaching, which really is a gift to an educator. It commands your full attention and engagement. Frazer is particularly interested in the student’s reception of the material, and he is very supportive of parents. Without any hesitation, we highly recommend Frazer Roland and Can-Am Test Prep Academy.”

“With great assistance from Mr. Roland, our son, David, was skillfully prepped, motivated, and encouraged through to a successful conclusion, involving admission into Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Yale Singapore, and the University of Chicago. Mr. Roland was instrumental in preparing our son for the key admissions tests, ensuring that David was able to achieve the high entrance standards required by leading U.S. institutions.” …. Read more

“Frazer’s guidance was essential to helping me gain admission into the post-secondary institution of my choice. His relentless enthusiasm, good humour, and constant dedication provided me with the encouragement to pursue my dreams and overcome the obstacles in my way. His insights also provided me with a deeper understanding of the American standardized testing process as well as university environments in Canada and the United States. Through his lessons, I was able to achieve a nearly perfect score of 35/36 on the ACT Test and a perfect score of 800/800 on the SAT Subject Test in Math Level 2. Not only did Frazer teach me the methods and techniques required to excel on these tests, but he also provided me with valuable personal advice that proved to be pivotal in making my final decision. For all his help and support, both as mentor and friend, I am deeply grateful to Frazer and wish him all the best in the future.”

“Dear Frazer, I don’t have the words to express to you my gratitude for your time, knowledge, enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment to our son, Carlos. Before registering him for the ACT course, I had heard very positive comments about you but, at that time, I couldn’t imagine the impact you were going to have on Carlos. After only one session, we noticed a big and positive change in our son. He had become infected with your contagious enthusiasm; he was determined to put all the effort he could into his test preparation and the whole university application process. He was admitted to Columbia Engineering’s Egleston Scholars Program with very high standardized test scores after only one attempt at the ACT and SAT Subject Tests. Thank you with all my heart.”

“Frazer has been a great friend and mentor to me. Not only did I enjoy his company and humour, but he did a tremendous job of coaching me on how to prepare for the ACT. Going through the ACT material, his quick pace paired with consistent patience is truly one of a kind. He pointed out tips and tricks that I would have never seen on my own. Prior to periodical meetings with Frazer four weeks before my ACT test date, I did not realize how much assistance I truly needed to obtain a good score. With a mere few weeks of preparation, Frazer helped me achieve a score of 30. Looking back, it’s truly a shame that I didn’t know about him six months earlier, as my score could have improved even more.”

“Frazer always brought two invaluable qualities to his teaching: unreserved enthusiasm and perpetual dedication. He is someone who pushed me hard to get the best out of every minute of time we had. His enthusiasm was infectious, and I found myself relishing the challenges he was placing in front of me, no easy feat when it comes to standardized testing! Frazer compelled me to work hard, and I got the sense that he was putting in just as much effort as I was, to help push me to that next level. For someone who had no prior experience with American standardized testing, I had a mountain to climb starting SAT prep in Grade 11. Frazer helped push me over that mountain and then some, allowing me to get the scores I needed to be competitive and ultimately successful in my US applications process, gaining admission to Harvard University in the early admission round.”

“Frazer has helped me with SAT and ACT preparation, teaching me various methods to tackle both standardized tests. With his tutoring, my SAT score went up by about 600 points within a short period of time. Right before applying, I panicked as I thought my SAT score was not high enough for the universities I wanted to attend. I decided to prep for the ACT. Even though there wasn’t much time left before submitting applications, Frazer helped me achieve a score of 34/36 on the ACT within three weeks. I was admitted early to a highly selective U.S. university but chose a direct-entry medical program overseas. In addition, to test prep tutoring, Frazer gave me personal advice with regards to post-secondary education, study mentality, and career options. Frazer was more than just an SAT/ACT tutor; he was and continues to be a friend and mentor. I am very thankful to have known him.”

“We would like to thank Frazer for helping our son, Conrad, in preparing for the SAT. Immediately following the first session, Conrad told us he loved Frazer’s teaching style and found him extremely enthusiastic. Although Conrad only had 4 months to prepare with Frazer, his SAT score went up by 200 points. We really appreciate Frazer’s efforts as he provided Conrad with many practical tools for writing a good essay. Conrad’s writing score jumped over 100 points and he now has confidence in his writing. Besides being extremely sincere and supportive, Frazer has a big heart when it comes to his students. Last but not least, we want to thank Sandy for her patience for the many times we needed to change our schedule. They are both warm and full of humor. Conrad still recalls the desserts and drinks provided to him during his breaks which made the learning environment very relaxing! Although Conrad was admitted to Boston University, he decided to take up the University of Toronto on their generous scholarship offer. We highly recommend Frazer to all those in need of test prep.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Can-Am Test Prep Academy and specifically with Frazer to improve my SAT skills. Frazer’s passion for the material radiates through his teaching and translates into a superb learning environment. I continue to use many of the methods and techniques that Frazer was able to teach me during the time I spent being tutored by him. He was kind and always happy to help me out with my questions; we continue to stay in touch! It is obvious that Frazer truly cares about the learning outcome for the students he works with. I was able to boost my SAT score and gain entrance to Seton Hall University in New Jersey. I will be graduating soon, and I know I couldn’t have done it without Frazer. Thanks again, Frazer!”

“Our daughter, Hailey, used the services of Can-Am Test Prep Academy for her US university SAT preparation. We found her instructor, Frazer Roland, to be a very effective teacher, using a different style and approach to the study of the SAT. We believe that his teaching methods were instrumental in our daughter’s very high SAT score. She did one-on-one tutoring as well as classroom sessions. We are happy to report that she has been accepted early admission into Princeton University.”

“Frazer has helped me immensely to achieve a great score on the ACT. Although at times, it may seem that his methods are repetitive, his strategies stick with you when it counts. On test day, you are shell-shocked and numb and your actions need to be second nature in order to be effective. Thanks to Frazer’s teaching style, you remember what is needed to succeed. With the help of Frazer, I was able to achieve a 34 on the ACT and would definitely recommend him as an ACT tutor..”

“Our daughter attended four SAT prep sessions with Frazer in 2011. Subsequently, she scored 2,250 and secured offers from Williams College and Duke University, among other universities. At our initial visit, Frazer said I could either stay and listen, sit in his comfortable living room, or leave and come back for pick up. I decided to listen for a while. Three hours later, I was still there and mesmerized by his unique style. I could not believe the time had gone by so quickly; he moves at a rapid clip, aided by advanced technology and an amazing graphic display; he doesn’t waste a second. I found that our daughter built an instant bond with Frazer; he clearly understands his audience and this is obviously important especially due to the pace and intensity of the sessions. Frazer is a pleasant, thoughtful, understanding and kind person. He knows he can make a difference and he does so with passion and enthusiasm. All students will come away better for the experience, and undoubtedly with improved SAT or ACT test scores. There are times when you don’t have to comparison shop to appreciate what you need. Frazer is the best – look no further.”

“I want to thank Frazer for helping my son, Mathew Guidi, realize his full potential. Frazier worked with my son on the SAT and math for close to a year. During this time, I observed my son gaining both knowledge and confidence. Although Mathew didn’t go to the States to play volleyball, he did get a sports scholarship to UBC. In order to gain admission into his program of choice at UBC, he had to maintain a very high GPA. This could not have happened without the guidance and tutoring provided by Frazer. I would highly recommend Frazer to anyone in need of test prep.”

“Dear Frazer- Our educational consultant from Select College Admissions said you are the best in the standardized test prep business and that we were in great hands. Well, she was correct! You have to know how thrilled we are with (our son’s) results. Our gratitude to you for preparing him for the SAT is tremendous. His admission to a selective college, where he will undoubtedly have a wonderful four years, would have not been possible without all your efforts. (Our younger son) has developed a very special bond with you and looks forward to when you come to our home for SAT and math tutoring. We all feel you are a part of our family. Your generosity and humanity are very much appreciated. You give of yourself without bounds, you never compare your students, treating them each as a valuable individual and having their well-being at heart. You bring with you an aura of energy and much humor. You are a superb human being and we will recommend you to others without hesitation.”

“Frazer Roland has been an invaluable resource for my sons as they have prepared for the SAT exams and their applications to university. Without Mr. Roland’s expert tutorial skills, warmth and humour, I do not know how we would have gotten through the difficult university preparation process. Our sons took advantage both of the private tutorial sessions and the classes that Can-Am Academy offers. Our older son was accepted to his first-choice school in New York, Vassar College, a highly selective, small liberal arts college that has turned out to be the perfect place for him and his many interests. Our younger son has been accepted at his first-choice college as well, Sarah Lawrence College. They both had to choose between multiple offers from various schools. We could not have been happier with the instruction offered by the whole team at Can-Am Academy and Mr. Roland in particular. You will not regret the investment. Please feel free to contact us at: hollyann@shaw.ca if you have any questions.”

“Signing up to take Can-Am Learning Academy’s one-week SAT boot camp this past summer was one of the best choices I have ever made! It really gave me that extra push with my score, and I went from 1960 to 2210, 250 points! The week was intense, but Frazer taught in such an engaging, memorable, and entertaining way that it was fun! I learned so many tips and tricks that I know will stay with me for a very long time. I had taken other SAT prep classes before, but nothing can compare to this one. Sign up now, it’s definitely worth it!”

“I am extremely happy to recommend Frazer to ANYONE who is planning on taking their SAT! My experience was more than wonderful, and not only did my score increase from 2020 to 2110, but I had a lot of fun too and became much more confident about taking the exam. I was feeling really frustrated with my SAT going into the CAN-AM Test Prep Academy course, as I wasn’t seeing much progress and was dealing with lots of inconsistency. I wasn’t sure if any course would help with this. In short, YES, Can-Am DEFINITELY does!! Honestly, after I spent a week with Frazer, I felt so much more prepared and saw great results with the practice tests I took and on the SAT I did in October. Seriously, I couldn’t say enough good things about my experience!”

I owe a big thank you to Frazer for my success on the SAT. His tutoring went above and beyond my expectations and the techniques and tips he provided in the lessons were invaluable. He was encouraging and focused and he provided a very comfortable working environment. Without Frazer’s help, I would not be attending UC Davis next year to play division 1 lacrosse.

I really encourage any athlete going to a USA university to take his course. Don’t leave anything to chance – Take the Course Frazer offers and you will succeed – it’s worth every penny ! “

After working one-on-one with Frazer on the math section of the SAT and attending a Can-Am workshop, my SAT scores rose dramatically – from 1750 on my first write to 2010 on my last. The skills taught to me by Frazer allowed me to improve my ACT score and refine my mental approach to mathematics in general. Thanks to my score improvement, I was accepted via early admissions to the University of Pennsylvania – Cam-Am learning services are invaluable!

I have recently become acquainted with Mr. Frazer Roland while my son was participating in a course on SAT Program & Tutorial. During this period, I have been very impressed by his commitment & the dedicated manner with which Mr. Roland carried out his duties as an instructor. He displayed maturity, motivational level, and seriousness of purpose throughout the entire course duration. He is very well organized, approaches issues in a systematic way, and manages his time effectively. Mr. Roland has excellent communication and interpersonal skill. He Interacts well with his students. He is well composed and always is in control of his class. I Highly recommend Mr. Frazer Roland to be an asset in any educational environment.

I found that the techniques used by Frazer were very helpful in eliminating and finding a quick solution. He focuses more on the simpler ones which do not affect your mark because each question is worth the same. As you understand more of the techniques he teaches you can answer more questions quickly and efficiently. SAT is a timed thing so speed and accuracy count. Frazer helped me with simple things that made the SAT that much easier.

It was our pleasure to have met you. The time, passion, and consideration you gave to our son is something that is rarely found in an educational world. Our son was always enjoyed his time with you and seemed to rather enjoy subjects that he was not fond of in school. We were also very impressed with the time management and organization of our program, it helped us work around our busy schedules with ease. We are now waiting for Luka’s SAT results, but we are convinced that through your comprehensive tutoring he obtained the grade he was looking for. We would be pleased to recommend you to any of our friends or colleges.

Frazer Roland is energetic, positive & very knowledgeable. We were amazed at the amount of information my daughter gained within the first 2 hours of seeing Frazer. As a matter of fact, my daughter saw Frazer 2hrs on a Thursday, another 2hrs on the next day, Friday & wrote an ACT test on the following day, Saturday. Not only did Frazer give her confidence in her own abilities, but he also pumped her up to take the test and she scored a 33 (an improvement of 2 points from her previous attempt!) My daughter felt that her one on one time with Frazer was invaluable.

Our daughter Katie is an elite runner in Canada and was under consideration for scholarships from schools all over the US. As she trains every day, it was impossible to study for the Says by herself. We were referred to Fraser by another athlete’s family and impressed by his program. He was flexible with his time, very organized, student-friendly, and extremely professional. Most important my daughter liked him and was able to learn strategies to write the SATs successfully. Katie is now in her freshman year at the school she chose UCLA on a full academic and athletic scholarship. She is doing very well in both school and sports. We thank Fraser very sincerely for his ongoing help and advice.
Thank you,

I remember many times when I was feeling down or when something unfortunate happened in my life, you were always there to help me pick myself up on my own two feet and lead me back on the pathway towards success.
