Why choose one-on-one tutoring?

Personalized tutoring offers your child an individualized learning experience at their own pace, helping them improve in subjects where they are struggling and solidifying their knowledge in areas where they are already doing well.

Not only does this help encourage higher-level thinking, but it also improves self-esteem both in and out of the classroom and puts them in charge of the learning process.

Why it makes a difference when you are connected with the right tutor for your child 👇

Three signs you need to step away from your school work and take a break:

🔹You’ve read the same thing two or three times and it still doesn’t make sense.
🔹Your back and neck are sore.
🔹You’ve lost motivation.

If you’re feeling any of these things, it’s time to take a break to re-charge.

Learning a second language is good for the brain! Bilingual or multilingual students tend to score higher on standardized tests. In addition, learning a second language can improve:

✅Creativity
✅Focus and attention span
✅Memory
✅Problem-solving skills
✅Executive function (e.g. shifting, planning, and updating)
✅Critical thinking
✅Language sensitivity (the ability to distinguish languages you’ve never heard before)
✅Brain growth
✅Flexibility (the ability to shift between different mental states)
✅Ability to multitask
✅Listening skills

Tutoring isn’t just for when your child needs help with tests or is falling behind. Tutoring can:

1️⃣ Help your child master key skills in reading, writing, and math that they will rely on for years to come.
2️⃣Build your child’s confidence. The more confident students are, the more likely they are to try again.
3️⃣Build skills and study habits that will set them up for life-long learning.

Our this week is Dexter C.! 🎉

Being able to speak English, French, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, language has played a significant role in Dexter’s personal and professional life.

Dexter received his bilingual diploma from the Toronto French School. He then graduated from York University with a BFA in Visual Arts and a minor in East Asian Studies. After spending two years in Beijing, China, to continue learning Mandarin, he returned to York University to pursue his Ontario teaching certification.

Since 2015, he has been working in the York Region District School Board, primarily as a Core French teacher for grades 4-8.

Dexter understands language learning is a process that requires frequent practice and that each person learns at their own pace. 🏫

His goal is to help students develop transferable language learning skills and strategies and help foster overall language and cultural appreciation.

We love what we do! 👇

I just wanted to give you a good news update on my daughter's university acceptances and thank you for the ongoing amazing support from Danielle and all the other tutors. I have taken to calling it "performance coaching" as the word tutoring doesn't really do it justice – the connection they have with her as a person and the time they take to know her personal strengths and areas of need go well beyond subject specific tutoring.

She was accepted into every top program on her list!

Thank you again so very much for the support and personal engagement over the last 5 years.

School is over for the year but we know the incredible teachers who motivate and inspire our children are still working hard behind the scenes. We want to take a moment to thank you for your hard work and dedication! We hope you have a 😊 summer! ☀️
