Covering All Subjects & Grades

Teachers on Call offers online tutoring for elementary and high-school students from grades K-12 in all subjects, including Math, Science, English, French, Reading & Writing skills and more. 

In addition to subject-specific guidance, our tutors continue to provide academic coaching in the areas of executive functioning, time management, organization and study skills support based on academic needs and goals.

Learning is supported by a variety of interactive communications technologies that will be beneficial to students as they advance academically, as well as in their future career pathways.

Provided By Education Professionals

Our tutors are caring, knowledgeable and experienced education professionals, with a passion for helping students succeed academically.

The Teachers on Call team follows a curriculum-based approach. As a result, our team is comprised exclusively of teachers certified by the governing body for education in their province, retired teachers, and teacher candidates completing their degrees in education. All of our tutors have direct classroom experience and are highly specialized in their subject areas.

As with traditional home tutoring, tutors and students are paired based on a thorough assessment process to ensure they are an optimal match in terms of subject matter needs, educational goals and personality fit.

Our Online Tutoring Approach

At Teachers on Call, our many years of experience helping children of all ages has taught us that students learn best with educators they trust, and who understand their unique learning needs, style and interests. For this reason, a tailored approach to tutoring is fundamental to the Teachers on Call customer service philosophy, whether that tutoring happens in person or virtually.

This means that our online tutoring service is based on our signature relationship-based focus, ensuring your child will work with the same tutor for all sessions to ensure a strong level of comfort and familiarity.

How It Works

Online tutoring with Teachers on Call starts with the same comprehensive intake process as our conventional in-home lessons.

This initial consultation is designed to determine each student’s specific academic needs to ensure they are matched with a tutor whose skill set and personality would be most beneficial to them.

Online tutoring includes many interactive features to promote learning and engagement, such as an online whiteboard, interactive video and sound communication, and screen sharing for resources and materials. We will ensure that the student has a good handle on how these software tools work at the outset.

Effective Learning in a Digital Age

Digital literacy needs to be taught and practiced, just like any other kind of literacy. The advantage that students who do online tutoring have is that they get to learn and practice these digital skills safely and with some guidance. 

Our online tutors collaborate with students to help them solve problems, practice critical thinking, and use a variety of technological learning tools to excel in their chosen subjects. Students will master the concepts and strategies necessary to thrive in a world where education is increasingly taking place online.

Learning through online tutoring allows students to practice many of the skills they need for their current courses and for future career pathways in a cooperative learning environment with their tutor. They can practice screen sharing, using digital tools, and even evaluating online resources.

This will allow students to build confidence and independence for their classroom learning and assessments, and can improve their attitude and experiences at school.
