Our private tutors strive to be up-to-date with every student’s curriculum. What that means is they proactively address the curriculum material before your child sees it in the classroom. This allows our students to notice the immediate connection between their tutoring and what they are learning in school. A head start on their studies gives students the confidence to take risks in the classroom— a vital part of achieving academic success! For our upper-level students, our familiarity with the Curriculum allows us to serve them with exactly the tutoring they need. Once students have learned and mastered their current material, our tutors work backwards to strengthen any gaps in their knowledge. They also work forwards, giving students a preliminary grasp of what’s coming next. In both cases, our tutors enrich our students’ understanding of their school curriculum, increasing their ability to learn with courage and self-assurance.

If your child is dealing with a challenging subject or struggling to keep up with their classmates, our remedial programs can help them get back on track. Our tutors are passionate educators who know how to teach basic areas such as writing, reading, or mathematic to students who need a little extra encouragement. Benefits of remedial education include: - Ensuring that all areas are understood, with no knowledge gaps - Giving the child the benefit of a professional, enthusiastic educator who can answer their questions - Keeping their spirits up and giving them renewed hope and excitement for learning - Avoiding being held back or required to attend special education.  Our remedial reading programs include but are not limited to Direct Instruction, Heggerty, UFLI and the Wilson Reading System. 

Tests don't have to be daunting. We help your child be prepared and confident for any upcoming test. We offer private tutoring services and test prep for students aged 4 to 24, including AP examinations and college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT. Our certified teachers can make all the difference as your child prepares for the following tests: SSAT prep SAT prep AP examinations IB examinations TOEFL ACT prep EQAO prep: including literacy tests for grades 3, 6, 9, and 10

Not all tutoring is for remediation. Some tutoring is designed simply to enrich a student’s education and to help them gain new opportunities. We offer enrichment programs for students aged to 4 to 24. Enrichment tutoring services are for students who: - Need a new challenge - Want to get ahead - Are interested in a specific course - Want to learn a new language Our tutors help students work at their own pace, never skimming over difficult areas, but always ensuring thorough comprehension. As challenges increase, the student’s confidence does, too. With every new success, the student is empowered in the process of “guided discovery.” Working independently gives students the opportunity to take charge of their education.
