Program Description

Tutoring helps elementary and high school students stay on track during the summer. With flexible scheduling options, families can choose the format that works best for them while ensuring consistent, high-quality academic support from our team of specialized, passionate instructors.

Parents or guardians can apply for tutoring through our online application form below. After you have submitted your application, one of our team members will contact you to gather more information, answer your questions, and enroll you in the program.

Note: Families currently enrolled in RISE One-to-One Instruction will be prioritized for summer tutoring, if they apply by March 23, 2026.

Summer Tutoring Focus

Summer Tutoring gives learners the opportunity to focus on one primary area – literacy or math. High school learners can also get support with summer school or preparation for specific high school courses, like science or socials. Learners are placed in their top priority subject area. If space is limited in that subject, we may offer a placement in their secondary choice. Alongside the focus area, learners will also receive the following:

  • Kindergarten to Grade 2: A focus on transitions and play-based learning, so learners have fun while they learn.
  • Grade 3-12: A focus on preventing the summer slide and continuing to grow confidence.

Summer Tutoring Schedule

Families can register for one of the following three options: 

  1. July 6 – 31: 4 weeks which is 8 sessions 
  2. August 4 – 28: 4 weeks which is 7-8 sessions 
  3. July 6 – August 28: 8 weeks which is 15-16 sessions 

Sessions are held between 9:00 AM – 5:50 PM. Learners will attend sessions either on a) Monday and Wednesdays or b) Tuesday and Thursdays. 

  • The learner will attend at the same time on both days 
  • Families are encouraged to provide as much availability as possible when they apply 
  • The August block may have one fewer session depending on the Monday/Wednesday calendar alignment. 
  • August fees are based on the shorter block (7 or 15) and remain the same with one extra session. 

If families are new to academic support, they will book an intake before being offered a placement. If families are currently scheduled in RISE One-to-one Instruction or Small Group Instruction, they will be contacted when we have a placement to offer.

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. 

Note that if your child is scheduled for Summer Tutoring sessions between 9am – 4pm, during the time they are in our camp, we will plan for your child to receive Take-Home Study Packages for those sessions. If you have concerns about your child missing their tutoring sessions during that week, we will address that as it comes up, and work to make an appropriate exception if needed. 

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 2025-26 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 Learn. Develop. Succeed. over the summer months, so it might not work out. 

Yes, because of the statutory holiday on Monday, August 4, learners scheduled on Monday/Wednesday will have one fewer session during the August block. 

  • Monday/Wednesday learners: 7 August sessions 
  • Tuesday/Thursday learners: 8 August sessions 

The tutoring fee is based on the lower session count (7 sessions for August), so families scheduled on Monday/Wednesday are not losing value. Tuesday/Thursday learners may receive one additional session due to the calendar alignment, but pricing remains consistent across both scheduling options.
