The language program is based on the Ontario Language Arts Curriculum (2023) and can be broken down into three categories:

1. Foundations of Language: Students will acquire knowledge based on the foundations of language. The focus is on oral and non-verbal communication, word reading and spelling, vocabulary, fluency, and language conventions. 

2. Comprehension: Understanding and Responding to Texts: Students will draw on their prior knowledge and acquire strategies to critically think about the meaning of a text and respond accordingly.

3. Composition: Expressing Ideas and Creating Texts: Students learn to express their ideas and create texts in various forms to plan, research, draft, revise, edit, proofread, publish, and share their texts.

The mathematics program is based on the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum (2020) and works to help students in applying mathematical processes to solve problems. The mathematical processes are as follows:

• Problem-solving

• Reasoning and proving

• Reflecting

• Connecting

• Communicating

• Representing

• Selecting tools and strategies

These processes will be highlighted to support students with any subject concerns they may have. We support the notion that there are multiple pathways to achieving a solution and work with the student to uncover the strategies that work for them. When students can reflect on their work to see multiple forms of representation and/or communication to solve a problem, they feel empowered in their learning. 

Stuck at the table doing homework for hours each night? This program offers support for students' academic attainment to understand what they are doing, and why they are doing it. It has been proven that when students are provided with meaning as to why they are learning something, they are more likely to make connections and apply this learning to the world around them. 

This program is designed to... 

• Review concepts from the most recent year.

• Provide fun and dynamic challenges to keep the brain active during the summer months. 

• Prepare for the upcoming academic school year. 

• Boost cognitive, time-management, organizational, and study skills.

Summer tutoring provides the opportunity to review academic content from the previous year and address any difficult concepts. In doing so, students will build a strong foundation for the upcoming academic year. This helps to bridge the gap between school years and ensure that the student retains the knowledge they acquired during the previous year to advance them in the years to come.

Summer tutoring offers support not only on specific curriculum concepts, but also on developing essential organizational, time-management, and study skills. Through an individualized approach, the tutor and student work together to set and achieve attainable goals in a safe and encouraging environment. This will prepare them with skills and knowledge for the upcoming school year feeling confident in their abilities and progress.

Summer tutoring helps boost a student's confidence and motivation. By addressing areas of concern and having the opportunity to practice at a speed suitable for you, students can experience self-fulfilment as they work toward achieving their academic goals. 

Without the constraints of a regular school day, we can establish a time for sessions that works for you while accommodating summer activities or vacations.
