Most Common Questions Alberta Parents Ask about In-Home and Online Tutoring

How does tutoring with Teachers on Call work in Alberta?

Tutoring with Teachers on Call begins with a complimentary intake process led by experienced school principals, ensuring your child is matched with the right certified teacher for their needs. Families can choose between online tutoring, which is the most popular option thanks to its flexibility and ability to serve students in remote, rural, and Northern Alberta communities, or in-home tutoring, which is available in select areas subject to availability. No matter the format, students receive personalized, one-on-one support that aligns with the Alberta Curriculum and builds confidence over time.

Does Teachers on Call offer French Immersion tutoring in Alberta, including Calgary and Fort McMurray?

Yes. French Immersion is a popular language program in Alberta, and many families search for specialized tutoring to support their child’s success. Teachers on Call provides tutoring in French Immersion and Core French with certified bilingual teachers. Students can receive help not only with language learning but also when subjects are taught in French, such as math, science, and social studies. Families in Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, and smaller communities benefit from having access to qualified teachers who understand both the subject matter and the unique challenges of learning in a second language. This support helps students build stronger skills, improve fluency, and succeed in Alberta’s Core and French Immersion programs.

Parents in Alberta often ask which tutoring service best supports the provincial curriculum. Teachers on Call is a trusted award-winning choice because our team is made up of professional certified teachers who know the Alberta Curriculum inside and out. We help students from kindergarten through grade 12 with one-on-one tutoring that is fully aligned with classroom expectations.

Yes. Teachers on Call proudly works with students across a wide range of schools in Alberta — from public and Catholic boards to independent and private schools. Our certified teachers are experienced with the Alberta Curriculum and tailor support to meet each student’s needs, regardless of where they attend school.

Our certified teachers personalize tutoring to complement classroom learning and help students thrive, no matter the type or size of school they attend.

Where can I find math and science tutors in Alberta?

Math and science are two of the most requested subjects for in-home and online tutoring. Teachers on Call connects families with provincially certified teachers who specialize in these subjects. Whether your child needs help with elementary school basics like early math and numeracy support, or high school courses like Chemistry 30 or Math 30-1, our in-home and online tutors provide tailored lessons aligned with Alberta Curriculum. Parents across Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and beyond turn to Teachers on Call for expert math and science tutoring support, delivered through a one-on-one relationship that makes a lasting difference in student confidence and performance.

Is online tutoring available for families in rural and Northern Alberta, like Grande Prairie or Medicine Hat?

Yes. Online tutoring is one of the best ways Teachers on Call supports families outside Alberta’s major cities. Parents in communities like Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and Northern Alberta often face limited access to local tutors. Our award-winning online tutoring bridges that gap by connecting students with professional certified teachers across the province. Families receive the same high-quality, personalized one-on-one tutoring experience as in-person tutoring, without having to leave their home. This makes online tutoring an ideal solution for rural and Northern Alberta families seeking curriculum-based academic support.

How much does tutoring cost in Alberta for elementary and high school students?

The cost of tutoring in Alberta varies depending on whether support is delivered online or in-home. Teachers on Call offers competitive rates for professional certified teachers, ensuring families receive value for high-quality, one-on-one instruction. Unlike drop-in centres or group programs, our tutoring is personalized and relationship-based, with the same teacher working consistently with your child. There are no expensive packages required, and you only pay for the tutoring you need. Online tutoring starts with flexible 30-minute minimums. With options available online across Alberta and in-home tutoring in select communities, Teachers on Call provides flexible and cost-effective solutions for both elementary and high school students throughout the province.

How can tutoring support students who miss school or are away from the classroom?

When students in Alberta miss school due to illness, travel, or extended absences, it can be challenging to keep up with lessons and assignments. Tutoring provides a bridge, so students don’t fall behind. At Teachers on Call, our certified teachers tailor sessions to cover missed curriculum content, review class materials, and ensure students stay on track. This one-on-one support helps students catch up efficiently, rebuild confidence, and return to the classroom prepared. Whether it’s a short-term absence or a longer break from school, tutoring is a valuable resource for keeping learning consistent and aligned with the Alberta Curriculum.

When is tutoring available to students in Alberta?

Tutoring schedules are designed to fit the busy lives of Alberta families. While most students book sessions after school or on weekends, Teachers on Call understands that some students require daytime support. For example, children who are homeschooled, on modified schedules, recovering from illness or training as elite athletes may require tutoring during the school day. Subject to availability, our intake team works with parents to arrange the best times for each family. With flexible online options across Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Red Deer, and rural Alberta communities, tutoring is available when students need it most — from weekdays to evenings and weekends.
