Cassels Tutoring

As I go through my 37th year on this planet, this is a lesson that I always have to remind myself of…

There’re no guarantees and you have to take the risk to invest yourself to even create a probability of the desired outcome…

Get clear on what you want out of this school year, write it down, then ask yourself what you need to do to get there, and start doing it WITHOUT the entitlement to the result. If you’re not sure what will help you get there, hit us up - we’ve seen it all and done it all!

We’re not there yet but we’re getting close and for those of you thinking about summer…a great time to post up, have a few Diet Colas, and soak in some rays from the Sun. That being said, let’s also mix in a few reps to make the fall less of a grind.

💪 Flex those academic muscles this summer to keep the pump fresh. Whether that’s with another credit, some review, or a preview of that tough course you got in the fall.

👑 Show up in the fall knowing what’s hot and be the king/queen of the classroom.

🏒 Stickhandle your way through the transition to university with a program developed by Cassels Tutoring to get you ready for that oh so sweet move from high school to university.

Hit us up if you have any questions!

Coach Prime…Part II - I guessed that all of the bicycle riding and Diet Pepsi would’ve rendered this impossible…but here we are!!

Who would’ve thought something so little could be so terrifying and exciting at the same time…Well Ernie…6 weeks until D-Day…get ready to storm the sands of midtown Toronto with a loving, intelligent mother and a father who should be institutionalized for all intents and purposes…

Comment with hysterical and / or real name suggestions. Right now, the leader is “Kiosk” so that he’s likely to grow up to be helpful and informative.

📰 This headline says it all. It simply and unequivocally shows the power of a teacher who’s willing to go beyond teaching content and willing to engage in the bigger picture of who students are and who they can be.

🙋‍♂️ This headline also captures so much of my drive to do what I do. 1-1 tutoring is a precious opportunity to create the space for empowerment to show up for students. A chance to discover how much possibility truly exists for them. And often, they need someone they trust, someone they want to spend time with, someone who has been there and done that, to let them know that the destination is reachable, the goal is attainable, and the journey is just as valuable as reaching the finish line.

🙏 Thank you for giving us a chance to teach you the math/science/economics/etc. that might be stumping you; however, just as importantly, thank you making us a part of a bigger journey. A journey that can show you that the spectrum of possibilities is merely a function of being willing to to take that first step. And sometimes, we all need a little bit of support to take that first step.

What’s goin’ on Primetimes! To kick off the end of the summer and give all of us an opportunity to explore the city while the heat is still kickin’, we have arranged a ‘Toronto Landmark Scavenger Hunt Series’ to get the brains back to buzzin’ and provide everyone with a chance to get their summer steps in. Every so often, we’ll be posting photos of historic Toronto landmarks together with a few ‘fun facts’, that get you out-and-about - soaking up the rest of the summer sun while simultaneously absorbing some of Toronto’s history.

🚞This landmark was originally part of the Canadian Pacific Railway, serving to transport people to communities across the city and the suburbs. However, due to the opening of Union Station in 1926, combined with the hard times of the Great Depression, the building was closed down in 1930.

👑In 1939, the building opened back up (briefly) to accommodate King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth.

🎟The original ticket wicket drawers are still intact! When renovations of this building were underway, years after its original closing date as part of the CPR, the builders found “cheat notes” for the ticket takers stuck on the frames; “Adults 25 cents, kids 10 cents, priests 10 cents and politicians – free”.

Some of you may be well accustomed to this institution, but if not, no worries primes. Just bust out those getaway sticks and take a stroll down Yonge Street, you’ll be sure to stumble across something interesting either way.

Comment below if you know the name of this iconic Toronto landmark, bonus points if you can convert the height of the tower in feet to metres! Let us know what you find!
