Students in grades 1-12, whose first language is English find themselves seeking out tutoring for a few reasons:

​

• Poor grades (lack of knowledge of certain topics, homework isn't being handed in or is only partially completed)

• Good grades, but desire to improve existing ones in order to be ready for post-secondary school 

• Good grades, but desire to improve existing ones and better their English skills in general 

• Difficulties with some aspect of the curriculum (essays, essay analysis, etc)

• Preparation for the next grade (i.e. students taking tutoring during the summer in preparation for fall classes)

• Lack of English curriculum in current school (generally, French immersion)

• A student may come in with several of the above issues at the same time

​

Approaches to addressing student problems (I may choose 1 or more of the approaches below, depending on the issue the student comes in with).

​

• I provide online readings and videos based on weaknesses in a student's academic performance (i.e. if you don't know how to write a thesis statement, here's a video that explains how). 

• I provide proofreading and analysis of essays and assignments in class. (I point out issues with a paper based on the teacher's rubric or a separate rubric, and I leave them to the student to correct independently, or we do it together if the project is time-sensitive). 

• I provide a curriculum (set of activities) taking into account the student's input, the parent/guardian's input, and my own capabilities.

Prices​

​

• Online classes (Zoom software)

  • $39/hr for grades 1-6

  • $42/hr for grades 7-8

  • $46/hr for grades 9-10

  • $49/hr for grades 11-12​​

  • Should a second hour of classes be required (or a third hour, etc) I charge $13/hr during the same class to continue working with the student on whatever projects they're doing. 

  • The rates above factor in preparation time between 1 hr and 1 hr 45 min for the class (older ages require more preparation time)

  • Additional costs: If the student has to read literature in order to submit an assignment (i.e. a book, a play, a short story, a report) and reading this literature will require more than the typical preparation time, I will ask parents to pay additional money to prepare. I charge $13/hr for prep time. 

• In person classes (at your home, library, coffee-shop, basically wherever you prefer)

  • Location - at your home, library, or coffee-shop; I don't tutor from home or have a center location 

  • In-person classes are priced based on the regular online classes with commute time and parking added. If the client agrees to meet at a library local to them (30 minutes driving time to me for example) with free parking, I would charge the following 

    • Grades 1-6: $39/hr + $13 (commute) + $7 (time to set up and meet at library) = $59/hr​

    • Grades 7-8: $42/hr + ..... etc = $62/hr 

    • and so on

Terms and Conditions 

​​​

• I'm available Mon-Thurs for classes. Contact to book a slot. If my schedule is full, I will refer the student to an employee 

• Cancelation policy - you can cancel and reschedule classes at any time. I will only ever charge a cancelation fee on one occasion --> if you have booked a class with me, I've completed prep work for it, and you've decided to end classes either permanently or until an unspecified time in the future. If that is the case, I will request a cancelation fee between $13 and $23 to compensate for the time spent doing prep work for that class. 

• Payment is expected after each class is completed (or upfront for a series of classes, if preferred). Scheduling is flexible according to a student's availability (you can book classes whenever the student is available).
