Summer Tutoring FAQ
Yes, we’d love for your child to join us for both summer programs. Please apply for the camp week(s) and summer tutoring that you’d like to attend.
If you or our team have concerns about your learner attending both in one week, we will address that as it comes up and work to make an appropriate accommodation to schedules and/or fees if needed. Note that if your child is scheduled for Summer Tutoring sessions between 9am – 4pm, during the time they are in camp, your child will receive Take-Home Study Packages for those sessions.
Once you have accepted the spot, your invoice will be available on Teachworks. You must pay your invoice, or the first installment, to have the placement confirmed. You will be expected to pay the invoice within a week of accepting the spot. Your payment can be split into up to three payments, which will be spread across the next three months.
We know that you’re likely to want to get away with your family over the summer, so we recommend letting us know ahead of time once your vacation is booked. Your LDS instructor will prepare a personalized Take-home Study Package that can be completed on the learner’s own time. For full details on our Take-Home Study Package policies, please check our policies document.
If you’d like your child to attend their LDS session online during your vacation time, please let us know ahead of time, and their instructor can plan for online sessions, that can be joined over Lessonspace (via Teachworks) for the period you’ll need to join remotely. Online sessions require a stable internet connection and a laptop or PC (not a phone or iPad).
If the instructor you’ve had for the past year happens to match your availability and has space in their schedule, we will do our best to match your 2024/2025 instructor. If that is something you’d like – please note that in the additional notes in your application. Please bear in mind that many of our team take vacation over the summer, or do not work with LDS over the summer months, so it might not work out.
Yes, due to the statutory holiday on Monday, August 4, learners with Mon/Wed sessions get 13 sessions, while learners with Tuesday/Thursday sessions get 14 sessions. The tutoring fee is based on receiving 13 sessions, so you will not lose out if you are scheduled for Monday/ Wednesday sessions.
