Educational Background, Experience, and Class Types Offered

My name is David Brodsky. I have a Bachelor of Arts (4 yr program) in Psychology from York University, and I've been tutoring English classes part time under the name English Tutor Toronto since 2014. I provide private/group classes for different English levels:

Grades 1 through 12 English classes for all ESL and non-ESL students (homework support or customized curriculum)
Writing classes for post-secondary students (coursework support)
Test preparation for ESL (TOEFL, CELPIP, IELTS, etc) students
ESL classes for mature students (out of high school, 19+) looking to improve their English fluency

Availability & Scheduling

I am available every day between the hours of noon to 8pm for classes. Classes are scheduled based on mutual availability each time (when we both have time).

Homework Policy

I try and provide students with at least 3 hours of unique homework to complete in-between our classes. I ask that students complete this homework or spend at least 3 hours attempting it before scheduling the next class.

In-Person & Online Classes (Locations and Software)

For online classes, I use Google Meet, and I ask that students have a Gmail address for Google Docs note sharing, so that they can access class notes, and homework.

For in-person classes, there are two ideal options: study rooms at North York Central library (5120 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, M2N 5N9) or your home/place of business (I work all over the Greater Toronto Area). Libraries or coffee shops near your home are also an option but not an ideal one due to noise and study room scheduling difficulties that may come up.

Group and Private Classes

I have two options with regard to this. If you'd like a dedicated private class where no additional students will ever join, I bill $120/2 hr time slots. If you're open to group classes, I bill based on the number of students that show up to the class that day (see pricing scale under "online class pricing (group classes)."

Dedicated private classes (online)

Private class and there will never be other people joining it: $120/2hr

Online and Group Class Pricing

Private classes: $90 (classes are 2 hr in length)
2-person group classes: $50/2 hr depending on the student type
3-person group classes: $36/2 hr depending on the student type
4-person group classes: $30/2 hr depending on the student type

In person class pricing

for North York public library, add $7 (4-person) to $30 (private) to the above pricing scheme. For in-person at your home, contact me and let me know your major intersection, and I'll provide a price.

Payment and cancellation policy

after our first phone call, the consultation/mini class is free. Afterwards, I will be asking for the agreed upon rate after the completion of each class. You may cancel and reschedule classes at any time with no penalties (though obviously, since I build my schedule around work, and do quite a bit of preparation for each meeting, I'd prefer more notice rather than less)
