Finding a tutor for your child in Canada

http://www.i-tutor.ca/ is a site which offers free help to find a tutor for high school/university students. All tutors are qualified university students who charge reasonable rates and operate independently. Tutors are available for most high school subjects. Many tutors work online with their students or in person if students are nearby. Interested university students may register with the site.

findatutor.ca is a similar site.

Note: the operators of these sites do not perform background checks or evaluate the qualifications of their tutors, but act as listing agents. For parents who wish for greater security and peace of mind, there are commercial tutorial agencies such as http://tutoring.sylvanlearning.com/. Rates may be slightly higher than those charged by private tutors.

Many high schools have partnered with nearby colleges and universities in the establishment of mentoring/tutoring programs. Consult the Student Services department of your local high school about these programs.
