As we observe, every child is unique, with his or her own strengths and challenges. Our team of expert elementary school tutors takes a personalized approach that accommodates these differences. We create customized tutoring plans that target the child’s specific needs, using proven pedagogical techniques that maximize engagement and retention. We work hand in hand with the teacher to ensure that learning takes place both at school and at home, always in accordance with the Ministry’s curriculum for elementary school.

When it comes to reading
We take a complementary approach to that taught in the classroom, focusing on strengthening reading comprehension and fluency. We use techniques such as syllabic reading to help children improve their word decoding, an essential skill for beginning readers.
By working on texts adapted to each child’s level, we aim to increase their confidence and independence in reading. Our tutoring aims to consolidate their ability to quickly recognize words and understand the meaning of texts, which is fundamental to their success at school and their enjoyment of reading.
For writing
Here, our aim is to assist the student in practicing and improving their writing skills, working on targeted exercises that complement their classroom learning. This can include helping them write well-structured sentences and paragraphs, reinforcing spelling and grammar, and encouraging them to express their ideas clearly and coherently.
At your request, we offer creative and analytical writing activities to stimulate the imagination and hone the ability to argue and write thoughtfully.

Elementary math tutoring
Elementary math tutoring plays an essential role in reinforcing fundamental skills and building a solid foundation for future learning. Our approach is customized to meet each child’s individual needs, complementing classroom instruction. For example:
Basic operations and numbers
We focus on basic operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, fractional numbers, decimal numbers – to establish a solid understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts. Through interactive teaching methods, students visualize and manipulate these concepts concretely, fostering a deeper and longer-lasting understanding.
Problem solving
Our students’ Achilles heel! Problem solving is at the heart of our elementary mathematics teaching. We encourage students to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations, reinforcing their understanding and developing their ability to think critically. Hands-on exercises and educational games make learning both engaging and fun, sparking a lasting interest in the subject.
Geometry
Geometry is a key area of critical thinking. We help students understand shapes, spaces and measurements through hands-on activities and the use of learning materials that complement what is seen in the classroom. This hands-on approach helps young people develop an intuitive understanding of geometric concepts.

English tutoring in elementary schools
As English is a global language, learning it from elementary school onwards is essential to opening up international horizons for children. Our elementary tutoring aims to enrich and complement classroom English teaching by focusing on key skills. Here are just a few examples:
Listening and speaking
We focus on active oral English practice, considered the most complex part of learning a second language. For example, activities such as role-playing and guided discussions enable students to improve their comprehension and speaking skills, while enriching their vocabulary and working on their pronunciation.
Reading in English
Reading is fundamental to learning English. We offer texts adapted to each student’s level to improve their reading fluency and comprehension, making sure to include a variety of genres to keep them engaged and interested. Parents and teachers can help us discover what children are passionate about!
Writing in English
We guide students in developing their writing skills, from building simple sentences to writing short texts, depending on their level. This includes working on spelling, grammar, and organizing ideas for clear, coherent written expression.
Grammar and vocabulary
Enriching vocabulary and mastering grammar are essential to communicating effectively in English. Our elementary English tutoring is designed to integrate grammar and vocabulary learning in a practical and interactive way, promoting better retention of learned concepts.
