Why it works
What Is Elementary ELA?
English Language Arts is the literacy strand of the elementary curriculum in every Canadian province - reading, writing, oral communication and media literacy. Ontario teaches it as Language in Grades 1 to 8, British Columbia as English Language Arts under its Big Ideas and Curricular Competencies, and Alberta as English Language Arts and Literature. The wording differs; the foundation does not. Our tutors work from your child's own grade-level expectations and the work coming home from school.
- 01 Matched to grade level and provincial curriculum
- 02 Same dedicated tutor for continuity
- 03 Homework support without the evening struggle

Which grades does Elementary ELA tutoring cover?+
Grades 1 through 6. For Grades 7 and up, our High School ELA program picks up with essay writing and literary analysis.
Does this follow my province's curriculum?+
Yes. Lessons are planned from the curriculum your child's school follows - the Ontario Language curriculum, the BC English Language Arts curriculum, or Alberta's English Language Arts and Literature programs of study.
Can you prepare my child for provincial literacy testing?+
Yes. We prepare students for the reading and writing components of EQAO in Ontario (Grades 3 and 6) and the Grade 6 Provincial Achievement Test in Alberta, using the question formats those assessments actually use.
My child can read but does not understand what they read. Can you help?+
That is one of the most common reasons families come to us. Fluent decoding and real comprehension are different skills, and we assess them separately before building a plan that targets whichever one is holding your child back.
