Top Rated English Tutoring in Calgary

We align every plan to Alberta Education outcomes for English Language Arts. For elementary and middle grades, we follow class novels, teacher rubrics, and the current scope and sequence. For high school, we support ELA 10-1 or 10-2, 20-1 or 20-2, and 30-1 or 30-2 outcomes, including reading comprehension, critical and personal response writing, and visual and textual analysis. When parents approve, we coordinate with the classroom teacher to keep tutoring in sync with class expectations.

We help with reading comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, phonics and decoding for early readers, grammar and sentence structure, paragraph and essay writing, thesis development, literary analysis, research and citation, note-taking, study skills, and oral presentations. We also coach planning, time management, and organization so students can manage assignments with less stress.

Yes. We prepare students for Grade 6 and 9 ELA Provincial Achievement Tests and for English 30-1 and 30-2 Diploma Exams. Support includes unpacking rubrics, practicing written responses, building reading strategies for long passages, managing time during exams, and completing targeted practice with feedback to improve clarity, structure, and evidence use.

We start with a free consultation to learn your goals, learning style, school requirements, and schedule. We match based on subject expertise, teaching approach, personality fit, and availability. If the fit is not right, we adjust quickly so your child works with someone they connect with.

After each session, you receive a brief update with what was covered, strengths, and next steps. We use reading benchmarks like words correct per minute and accuracy for early readers, writing samples and rubric-based feedback for older students, and regular goal check-ins. You will see clear targets and how we are moving toward them.

It depends on the starting point, goals, and session frequency. Many families notice better confidence and organization within a few sessions, and measurable skill gains within four to eight weeks. One Calgary student improved from reading 41 words in 4 minutes to 135 words with 85 percent accuracy after targeted sessions. With only thirty-six percent of fourth-grade students reaching proficiency in national studies, timely, personalized support makes a real difference.

Tutors have strong subject knowledge, many have teaching experience or advanced education, and all pass a thorough screening and background check. We look for clear communicators who can adapt to a student’s learning style and provide constructive feedback that builds confidence.
