The Best Tutoring in Amherst, NS

We tailor each plan to Nova Scotia curriculum outcomes and your childs current syllabus. For students in the Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education and those learning in French with CSAP, tutors review classroom materials, course outlines, rubrics, and upcoming assessments from schools like Amherst Regional High, E.B. Chandler Junior High, and local elementary schools. We stay current with provincial assessment expectations so lessons reinforce what teachers are assigning and how work is graded. This alignment helps students keep pace in class and feel confident going into quizzes, exams, and projects.

We offer one-to-one tutoring for all ages, from primary through adult learners, in person and online. Core areas include:
– Math: foundational numeracy, pre-algebra, algebra, functions, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, workplace math
– Sciences: general science, biology, chemistry, physics
– English: reading, writing, grammar, literary analysis
– French and French immersion support
– Social studies and history
– Study skills and executive functioning with our X-Skills program

Yes. We offer in-home tutoring across Amherst and surrounding communities, and online tutoring province-wide. Scheduling is flexible with after-school, evening, and weekend options. Online sessions are recorded so students can review before tests. During winter weather or busy activity seasons, many families switch between in-home and online to keep sessions consistent.

We start by finding the root cause. That includes a quick review of current topics, prior concepts from earlier grades, and how your child likes to learn. Then we:
– Re-teach tricky concepts with clear, step-by-step methods
– Practice with targeted problems that mirror your teachers style and rubrics
– Build study routines and test strategies through X-Skills
– Plan for upcoming assessments with review checklists and timed practice
