What Parents Ask

Straight Answers

What grades and subjects do you tutor?

Elementary, middle, and high school students in math, reading and writing, science, and the other core subjects. We also tutor post-secondary students in their courses.

Do you tutor online, in Tofino, Ucluelet, or Bamfield?

Yes. Sessions are usually in person in Port Alberni. Students in Tofino, Ucluelet, and Bamfield can book online sessions. See online tutoring in Tofino and Ucluelet and online tutoring in Bamfield.

Do you tutor kids with ADHD, dyslexia, or autism?

Yes, with or without a diagnosis. One of our tutors specializes in Orton-Gillingham, a reading method built for dyslexia. Our page on tutoring for ADHD, dyslexia and autism also covers what BC schools can do.

Can Jordan's Principle pay for tutoring?

It can, for an eligible First Nations child with a specific need. Indigenous Services Canada decides each request. Our Jordan's Principle tutoring guide covers who can apply and how.

The report card says Developing. Should we worry?

Not on its own: BC says Developing isn't failing. Our guide to BC report cards explains each level, and our list of signs your child needs a tutor covers when to act.

Can you help with the Grade 10 numeracy assessment?

Yes, and with the Grade 10 and 12 literacy assessments. Our parent's guide to BC graduation assessments has the 2026-27 dates and rewrite rules.

Do you tutor adults?

Yes: post-secondary students, including Practical Nursing students, and adults upgrading high school courses for college. Adults working on reading, writing, or job skills can also get free one-on-one help through our adult literacy and skills tutoring.
