Tutoring FAQs

Do you follow the specific Ontario Curriculum?

Absolutely. Whether it is the new 2023/2026 Language Curriculum (focused on phonics and vocabulary) or the de-streamed Grade 9 Math (MTH1W), our sessions are 100% aligned with what your child is learning in YRDSB and YCDSB schools.

How do I know if my child needs Math or English help—or both?

We offer a comprehensive diagnostic assessment for both subjects. Often, a struggle in Math is actually a struggle with Reading Comprehension (word problems), or a struggle in English is linked to Logical Sequencing. We’ll provide a clear roadmap showing exactly where the gaps are.

Can we split our weekly sessions between Math and English?

Yes! Many parents choose 2 sessions per week, dedicating one hour to Math Foundations and the second to Literacy and Writing. This "Dual-Subject" approach is highly effective for building well-rounded academic confidence.

What is the difference between your In-Person and Online Tutoring?

In-Person: Best for younger students (JK-Grade 5) who benefit from tactile tools, physical math manipulatives, and face-to-face social engagement.

Online: Ideal for Grades 6-12. We use high-tech interactive whiteboards where both the student and tutor can write, solve equations, and annotate essays in real-time. It feels like sitting side-by-side.

Do you provide homework, or do you just help with school work?

We do both. We ensure your child’s school assignments are completed accurately, but we also provide reinforcement tasks—short, targeted exercises designed to master the specific skills they find difficult.

How quickly will I see results in their grades?

Most parents notice a boost in confidence and attitude within 4 weeks. Significant grade improvements typically appear after a full reporting cycle (8–12 weeks), as we close foundational gaps that have been holding them back for years.
