What our organization offers: 
Seasons / holidays: 
Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
English Tutoring for Grades 4-12 in our West Toronto Studio, and virtually for students all over the world. We have a unique small-class structure, with an emphasis on core reading and writing skills for younger children, and on reading comprehension, literature appreciation and essay writing for older grades. While some students come to us because they struggle in school, others are looking for enrichment - hoping to move beyond the opportunities available in the school curriculum. Some of our students are also home schooled. Our instructors have MFAs in Creative Writing and use their talents to encourage a love of books, creative writing, and all reading and writing skills.

Sophisticated writing, reading and critical thinking skills are essential in today’s world. When a student learns to think deeply, read thoughtfully, write well and express themselves effectively, their confidence increases and their grades improve.

Our English Tutoring Program is designed to benefit students from grade 4 up to university level, whatever their needs. We work with young people who want to develop their writing and reading proficiency in order to improve grades in school. With these students, we spend time on grammar and language conventions, introduce a wide range of reading material, encourage creative writing to enhance a love of words, and focus on essay structure. Equally, our English Tutoring Program is intended for keen and gifted students who want to work at a more advanced level than may be possible in class. With these students, we delve into classical and contemporary literature, experiment with different types of essays, explore a variety of writing styles and reach for excellence, in the English classroom and beyond.

Our small-group English tutoring program is offered virtually and in our Toronto studios at the following levels:
Junior (ages 9-12)
Intermediate (ages 12-15)
Senior (ages 14-17)
In addition, we offer a specialist Literature and Creative Writing Program for advanced writers and readers aged 16-20. This enrichment program is designed to introduce older high school and university students to advanced creative writing skills and a range of classical writers. We explore Shakespeare, classical poetry, contemporary world literature and more, using these texts to inspire creative writing in a wide range of styles.
