Tutorial Program

Our tutorial programs are targeted for students from Grades 1 to 12.  Classes are taught by experienced instructors in small groups (one to four students per class).  Our intimate class size allows our instructors to customize each lesson to focus on the needs of each student and to help each student reach his/her full potential.

At Buttonville Education Centre, we believe students learn best in a relaxed environment with instructors who are strong communicators as well as experts in their respective subject areas.  Our small classes provide the perfect setting for students to learn at their own pace with close guidance from an observant and patient instructor.

Our Methodology

 1.    Identify – When a new student joins our program, he/she completes an initial assessment.  This assessment is designed to help the instructor understand the student’s academic strengths and areas of development so that we can create a customized study program to meet the student’s specific academic needs.

2.    Develop – During each lesson, the instructor introduces new concepts and examples.  Students have an opportunity to practice the concepts in class with guidance and encouragement from the instructor to ensure the student grasps the concepts taught.  Our small class size ensures each student gets the individual attention he/she needs to succeed. 

3.    Reinforce – Practice makes perfect.  Homework exercises are assigned to keep the concepts fresh in the student’s mind between lessons.  The practice exercises are carefully selected from a wide variety of sources to suit each student’s needs.

4.    Monitor – Quizzes and unit tests are administered periodically to ensure students understand what they have learned.  Each quiz/test is marked and corrected to maximize learning results.

5.    Partner in Education – At the parent’s request, our centre will be more than happy to discuss the student’s progress with his/her day school teacher.  Students are welcomed to approach our instructors for support (i.e. concepts review and/or additional practice problems) on topics covered in regular day school.
