Tutoring at the Elementary Level (K-8)

Early childhood development is crucial in developing a solid foundation upon which higher education is built. After working with one of our tutors, our students emerge with a clear grasp of reading, writing, and math fundamentals. Our tutors have years of experience working with students of all ages and create a fun, exciting learning environment, fostering an enthusiasm for learning which later evolves into excellent study habits and academic skills. These skills also come in handy when preparing for standardized testing such as the EQAO and OSSLT.  Contact us regarding tutoring for students at the elementary level.
