PROFESSIONAL TUTOR AND ACADEMIC COACH

Creative, professional, caring, enthusiastic, understanding, and motivating.
Regular communication with parents, school, and support professionals included.
Custom programs based on your teenager's needs, not an "out of the box" program.

DEEP & LASTING UNDERSTANDING FOR ALL SUBJECTS

Hands-on Montessori materials and real world primary sources are used for all ages. Concepts are taught from concrete to abstract concepts--instead of just memorizing the "right answer". Arts based learning is used where appropriate. Most students complete an "exemplar" book of well done, neat and complete, colour coded examples--effectively creating their own custom "text book".

PAYMENT METHODS
Payment via Money Order, and online banking. Cash (with a written receipt) is also accepted if a family prefers.
Upper Canada College students will have their student accounts billed directly.
