Online Tutoring

We're thrilled to be able to offer online tutoring to parents and students all across Ontario.

Online tutoring allows students access to educational support and resources from their computer or electronic device. This essentially means that tutoring sessions can happen anywhere the student is, be it at home, at the library, or even on vacation. Collaborate virtually with your tutor from almost anywhere!

Aside from the fact that it is remote, the services that our tutors provide for students online are of the same high quality, and adhere to the same approach as those we provide to all of our students in-person.

Special Education Tutoring

Students with learning disabilities benefit from working with competent, caring and patient tutors who understand their unique learning styles. Our tutoring service is beneficial for students with special needs to provide overall strategies to help them become independent learners, while increasing their organization and time management skills.
