Subject-Based Tutoring at CT

At the baseline, CT is focused on providing individualized, engaging, and productive instructional sessions on a variety of courses. From reviewing key concepts in a finance lecture to pre-teaching an entire unit in grade 11 math, we have the tutors with an intimate knowledge of the course content as well as the ability to teach in a way that is uniquely accessible to the student. This to me is what tutors have to be able to do at the minimum at CT.

Tutoring can be so much more than content instruction if the situation calls for it. Students can use their tutoring to develop so many associated academic skills and a number of meaningful life skills. Sometimes challenges lay in the tasks surrounding school - organization, time management, study, assignments scaffolding - and our tutors are equipped to help students level up those skills so they can put any newfound understanding to better use on key assessments.

Lastly, and perhaps most everlastingly, are the life lessons that a tutor/academic coach/mentor can teach. The 1:1 dynamic is fertile ground for exploring and learning valuable life lessons such as self-advocacy with authority figures, personal accountability, goal-setting, and ensuring effort is aligned with desired outcome. We are fervid believers that school and the pursuit of academic improvement can teaches lessons that will also be relevant to their professional and personal lives.

Finance? What does it actually mean? It has to start with building out why we finance, what it means to use debt vs. equity, then building out the framework for the multitude of criteria we use to assess investments and how financing can impact the returns.

Economics

Economics class success is determined by understanding core concepts, and facts about economic institutions and history. Economics tutoring is also offered to IB students of all levels, who may need assistance with IAs or Extended Essays.

English

Content specific English tutoring can be challenging to guarantee. Instead, we focus on building the skills associated with academic success. This consists of teaching interpretive skills for advanced texts: Students need to be capable of inferring various elements of advanced texts that aren't necessarily explicitly on the page, like tone, mood, subtext, and themes for example. We also offer english tutoring for younger students, focusing on basic grammar, writing skills, and reading comprehension.

French

Grammar, conjugation, pronunciation and reading comprehension - We know that it may seem daunting. But with the right help, students can learn effective strategies and practice habits that make learning french a much more simple process!
