Online tutoring that is different
The online lessons are one-on-one and with a dedicated tutor. Our tutors are Canadians who have at least a university degree and more than two years of online tutoring experience. Many of these tutors are certified teachers or have a PhD or masters. They use an interactive whiteboard and a webcam to keep the student engaged and the lessons interactive.

All of our students in grades 8 to university work with a tutor who has at least a university degree and several years of tutoring experience. Some of our tutors even have a masters or PhD and have experience teaching at a university.
Each student has a dedicated tutor
The student works with the same tutor for every lesson. We understand the importance of the student building a strong working relationship with their tutor. Only when this is the case can the tutor track the student’s progress, adjust their teaching style to how they learn, build momentum and keep the student accountable. Oftentimes, our tutors become a mentor, which allows the student to increase their confidence and feel comfortable asking for help.
Our tutoring is one-on-one
Our online lessons are one-on-one and completely customized to the student. They are not group lessons, self-paced courses or the student watching instructional videos. The student has the tutor’s undivided attention at all times. This ensures that the student is engaged and learning.
We go beyond expectations
Tutors on Call provides exceptional customer service throughout the entire tutoring program. We understand the requirements of today’s classroom We follow up with you throughout the program to make sure that you are 100% happy with the student’s progress and to determine if any changes need to be made.
We track the student’s progress
At the beginning of each month you are emailed a monthly progress report. It lists all of the lessons that have been taught, provides a summary of the student’s progress and indicates the material that is covered each lesson. By having the same tutor throughout the program it allows the tutor to track the progress and determine any areas that require more attention.
The lessons are consistent and effective
We encourage consistent lessons. A regular weekly tutoring schedule has proven to be the most successful and proactive approach. This ensures that the student is on top of their assignments, fully understanding the course material and preparing for upcoming tests.
