The Best Tutoring in Cornerstone, AB

We follow the Alberta Program of Studies and tailor sessions to what students see in classrooms across the Calgary Board of Education, Calgary Catholic School District, FrancoSud, and Rocky View Schools. For Grades 6 and 9 we support skills assessed on Provincial Achievement Tests. For Grade 12 we prepare students for Diploma Exams in core subjects.

We start with a free consultation to learn about your goals, schedule, school context, and your child’s learning style. We then match a tutor based on subject expertise, personality fit, and availability for in-home or online sessions. Many tutors are Alberta certified teachers or experienced subject specialists. If the fit is not right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or match a different tutor. Families receive a start plan so everyone is clear on goals and next steps.

Yes. In Calgary, 19 percent of students need special education support and 31 percent are learning English according to CBE reporting. We regularly work with students who have learning differences, IEPs, or IPPs, as well as newcomers building English skills. We tailor lessons to the student’s needs, use clear step-by-step instruction, and build confidence through X-Skills strategies like organization and time management. Tutors can also reinforce accommodations recommended by your school team.

You can choose in-home sessions or online sessions, or a mix of both. In-home tutoring helps reduce distractions and saves travel time. Online tutoring offers more time slots and every session can be recorded for review, which is helpful before tests. Many Cornerstone families pick in-home during the school year and use online during busy weeks or travel. During your consultation we help you choose the option that fits your schedule and goals.

You will get updates after each session that summarize what was covered, wins, and what is next. We set clear goals at the start, such as catching up on Math 20-1 factoring or raising reading comprehension to grade level. We track homework completion, quiz and test results, and readiness for PATs or Diplomas. We also check in with parents and, when appropriate, teachers to keep plans aligned. One Cornerstone area parent shared that their child moved from 52 percent to 82 percent after focused support over two months. Results vary by student, but steady progress and confidence gains are what we aim for.

Tutors are experienced educators and subject specialists who understand Alberta curriculum and local school expectations. Many hold education degrees or advanced subject degrees. Every tutor completes interviews and background checks. Tutor Doctor Calgary East is locally owned by Shannon Levandosky, an education consultant who brings over two decades of professional experience and a personal commitment to helping families and years serving Calgary and Airdrie. Our team is committed to delivering results for every family we serve.

Yes. We build plans that balance daily homework help with targeted test preparation. For elementary and junior high, we focus on core skills that support PAT performance. For high school, we create unit reviews and Diploma Exam study schedules and practice with real-style questions. Recent Canadian assessments show declines in math and reading in some provinces, so we place extra attention on numeracy and literacy foundations. If your family is juggling activities or faith and community events, we offer flexible scheduling after school and on weekends, in-home or online.
