The Best Tutoring in Ajax, ON

Tutor Doctor Durham pairs one student with one tutor and builds a plan around how your child learns. We align with the Ontario curriculum and the expectations of Durham District School Board and Durham Catholic District School Board classrooms. We can also support families with students in nearby boards when needed. Sessions happen in your home or online and focus on both subject knowledge and executive functioning skills through our X-Skills program. You receive a brief report after every session so you can see progress and next steps.
