In-person tutoring services
Our mission is to provide personalized in-person tutoring tailored to each student’s unique needs and learning styles. The lessons are one-on-one at the student’s home or a library. Our lessons focus on homework support, test preparation or targeting specific skills. We offer in-person tutoring in several cities across Canada and for all academic subjects from kindergarten to second year university.
In-person tutoring by professionals
Our tutors are Canadians with high qualifications and extensive tutoring experience. Many of our tutors hold university degrees, and some even have a PhD, master’s or teacher’s certification. They have several years of Canadian tutoring experience so they know how to teach our curriculum, are familiar with our textbooks and understand the expectations in our classroom.
Each student has a dedicated tutor
We understand the importance of building a strong tutor-student relationship. That’s why each student works one-on-one with the same tutor for all of their sessions. This continuity allows our tutors to track the student’s progress, adapt their teaching style, build momentum, and hold the student accountable. Often, our tutors become mentors, boosting confidence and making it easier for the student to seek help when needed.
We go beyond expectations
Tutors on Call provides exceptional customer service throughout the entire tutoring program. We follow up with you throughout the program to make sure that you are 100% happy with the student’s progress and to determine if any changes need to be made.
We track the student’s progress
At the beginning of each month you are emailed a monthly progress report. It lists all of the lessons that have been taught, provides a summary of the student’s progress and indicates the material that is covered each lesson.
