LEARN Tutoring resumes for the spring on April 8. Families who used our service during the winter session were sent a form to book spring appointments at the end of March. What families say about our program: My two sons had Learn Tutoring in French and Math this term. This program has helped them tremendously.  This year especially, there was continuity with their teachers, and they benefited from the same excellent teacher every week in both math and French. My child’s grades in math went from 30-40% to 90-100%! He loves his tutor and finds the tutoring lots of fun! We are very grateful to be in this program! JOIN THE WAITLIST!
