Tutoring K-12

  • Ontario qualified elementary and secondary teachers (OCTs) provide students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 with private tutoring services
  • A wide range of tutors are available. These include tutors who are qualified as reading specialists, ESL specialists, Special Education Specialists, etc. In addition, highly experienced and qualified tutors are available to support students with senior level Math, Biology, Physics, French, and English.
  • In person services and online are available, depending on the tutor’s location and availability.
    -One on one tutoring services or group learning sessions (up to 4 students per session) are available.
  • There is no obligation to commit to a specific number of sessions. Students can opt-out of the tutoring service at any time, if necessary.
  • MECC strives to match students with a tutor who will best complement their unique personality and learning needs. If clients are not satisfied with the tutor that they are initially matched with, MECC will connect them with an alternative tutor (the initial session will be complimentary).
  • Ongoing communication between MECC’s founder/director and clients ensures that students are matched appropriately and that they are fully satisfied with their tutoring experience.
