The kind
of
work your
child does in school
depends on
their teacher
and the
school?
Each state/province/territory/region has a pre-set curriculum for teachers to follow. However, the specific assignments, assessments, books read,
textbooks used and work that is done can vary.
With One on One Tutoring, you can ensure that the time spent with our teachers is
specific
and relevant to your child’s learning
needs.

We break down the writing process into multiple steps so students are guided through idea development, planning, structuring and then writing and revision.

Reading Tutoring
Challenges Your Child Has
- Cannot sound out the words – struggles to read overall.
- Does not understand what they are reading.
- Struggles to think critically about what they are reading.
How We Can Help!
We first identify your child’s reading level and then guide them through various strategies to decode their readings.
We chunk the readings into smaller parts and continually check for comprehension so we can identify the challenges and ensure we don’t lose your child as they read.
We pose various questions to your child to prompt thinking and analysis to encourage making connections, inferences, etc.
