Getting started
Fill out the quote form with a few details about your child — subjects, grade, schedule, and any learning needs. We'll review it and email you a tutor recommendation, usually within 48 hours.
Most families get matched with a tutor within 48 hours, and the first session happens the same or following week. At busy times — exam season, back-to-school — matching can take up to a week. If your timing is urgent, let us know in the quote form.
No. There are no contracts. Pay per session, cancel or reschedule anytime with 24 hours' notice.
Subjects & levels
Math (Grades K–8 through Grade 12 university-prep, including MCR3U, MHF4U, MCV4U, and MDM4U), sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at Grade 11 and 12, plus Grade 9 science and K–8), English (K–12 including the ENG1D/1P through ENG4U/4C pathways and ESL support), Computer Science (ICS2O, ICS3U, ICS4U, plus Java and Python), and K–8 general support. We also prep students for EQAO and OSSLT, and support Canadian university and high school admissions.
Yes, on a case-by-case basis for first-year math (calculus, linear algebra) and intro computer science. Send us the course code in the quote form and we'll tell you if we have a tutor available.
Yes. For Canadian university admissions, we coach portfolios for art, design, and media programs, prep students for Ontario programs that require an entrance exam, and give guidance on program selection, prerequisite courses, and application timelines. For high school admissions, we help with entrance-test prep and application support for specialized and private programs in Ontario.
Format
In person is usually better for younger students and children who focus better with a person in the room. Online works well for high school and up, busy schedules, and students outside Toronto.
Our online lessons run on LumenBoard, a dedicated virtual classroom platform built for teaching. Your child joins through their tutor's private link — no public links, no strangers — into a room with a shared digital whiteboard and screen sharing. The tutor and student write on the same surface, work through problems together, and share files. Lessons run right in the browser, with nothing to download.
Your home, a local library, or another quiet spot nearby. In-person tutoring is available in Toronto. For families anywhere else in Ontario, we tutor online.
Pricing & scheduling
Rates depend on subject, grade level, and session frequency. Submit a quote request and you'll get a personalized rate and tutor match by email, usually within 48 hours — no obligation.
60 minutes by default. 30-minute and 90-minute sessions are available.
Most students do 1–3 sessions per week. We'll recommend a frequency based on the subject, your child's pace, and any upcoming tests.
Yes. We ask for 24 hours' notice, but as long as you tell us a session won't happen, there's no charge for it. A charge only applies to a no-show — where the student doesn't attend and gives no notice at all. Even then, the first no-show for each student is excused; any after that are billed at the full session rate. A free consult missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a $25 fee.
Tutors
Yes. Every tutor has a vulnerable-sector police check on file, or in process, before working with students unsupervised. Tutors under 18 aren't yet eligible for a vulnerable-sector check, so they teach online only in recorded sessions — never in your home — and complete theirs when they turn 18.
We match your child with a tutor based on subjects, grade level, and learning style. If it isn't the right fit after a session or two, let us know and we'll reassign — every session, including the first with a new tutor, is billable.
We require every tutor on our team to have at least four years of tutoring experience, to be a current university student or graduate, and to have deep expertise in the subjects they teach.
