Skill Builders Tutoring Overview

Our programs are full of lessons that can’t be taught in a classroom. Kids learn about motivation, accomplishment and hard work during these formative years- not just their academics! They also develop skills like struggle & disappointment, but most importantly they gain an understanding on how to overcome obstacles when things don’t go as planned or expected.

We know how hard it can be for some students to keep up with the evolving content from the Ontario Curriculum. Our Skill Builders Tutoring Program helps break down these new concepts using a variety of methods and worksheets that assist your child in understanding the material, and improving memory retention skills for test or exam preparation!

Our teachers build on ways to improve comprehension and organize thoughts properly – resulting in writing paragraph & essays peppered with details transferrable to the classroom.

Our program is designed to develop critical thinking and learning skills, which will help students succeed in school. With a focus on reading comprehension; writing skills such as grammar rules and sentence structure–as well as an array of math concepts matched to the Ontario curriculum—our students are better prepared for their future endeavors!

Other FAQs

What level will my child begin in The Learning Space’s programs?
Our assessment tools will help us determine the level your child will begin in our programs.
Can my child’s day school teacher be in touch with you to align with what is being done at school and what is being done at your centre?
Absolutely!  We regularly communicate with a child’s teacher at a parent’s request to make sure everyone is on the same page and any skills learnt at our centre is being transferred to school.  There is some red tape with having a few consent forms filled out on the schools end, but nothing that is not doable.  We welcome a child’s teacher’s to call us during his or her lunch hour or email us whenever it is most convenient.
What sort of options does The Learning Space provide for special needs?
The Learning Space works with students who are on an IEP (Individual Education Plan). Other special needs would need to be evaluated on a case by case basis.
How does The Learning Space differ from traditional tutoring?
We differ from traditional tutoring because we go beyond homework help to find the root of what is holding your child back through our in depth assessments. The analysis of the assessment enables our program developers to design customized curriculums for all students. We also challenge students who are working at or beyond grade level by enriching their skills and offering traditional homework support.
How are your teachers different and what are their responsibilities?
The Learning Space’s qualified and caring teachers are trained to work specifically with our methodology of cognitive based teaching. Our teachers create independent thinkers and learners so the child may reach a level where they no longer need support.
What type of assessments do you use?
The Learning Space uses two types of assessments. One measures students’ cognitive potential and the other evaluates the academic achievement levels. Our assessments differ from other tutoring centres because we use the most professionally respected tests that accurately evaluate specific cognitive and academic abilities of individuals.
