Elementary school tutoring
When reading, math facts or homework start to feel hard, your child's confidence often drops first. Look for a certified teacher who goes back to the step that didn't click and builds from there, at your child's pace. Online, at your home or at a public library.

Young children rarely say what's wrong. Watch for homework that ends in tears, the same report card comment coming back, and your child starting to call themselves bad at reading or math.
A ten-minute worksheet turns into an hour of stalling, crying and “I can't do it” on most school nights.
Your child guesses words from the first letter or the picture, and avoids reading out loud or on their own.
Adding, subtracting or times tables still mean counting on fingers, so every longer problem takes forever and falls apart.
Your child compares themselves to classmates, calls themselves dumb, or doesn't want to go to school on test days.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician or your child's teacher. These Canadian organizations explain the signs and how to work with your child's school:
Choose a certified teacher who can find the step your child is missing, from letter sounds to fractions, and work on it patiently, so your child can start to feel capable again.
Your child compares themselves to classmates and has started saying they're not smart. Look for a tutor who starts with what your child can already do, points out small wins and treats mistakes as normal. Ask how they plan to show progress, so trying again can feel less scary.
Your child guesses words from the first letter or the picture. A tutor can work on letter sounds and sounding out in the early grades, and on understanding chapter books later. Ask the tutor to find the reading skill holding your child back and start there.
Adding and times tables still mean counting on fingers, so longer problems fall apart. Look for a tutor who uses drawings, blocks and practice for number facts, place value and fractions. Ask them to explain why the steps work, not only how to do them.
A ten-minute worksheet turns into an hour of stalling and tears. A tutor can help with this week's assignments and show your child how to get started alone and check their own work. You can ask for help with writing, projects and spelling lists too.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

Letter sounds, first books and adding to 20. Ontario also screens early reading in Kindergarten Year 2, Grade 1 and Grade 2.
Reading gets longer and multiplication begins. Ontario students write their first EQAO assessment, and reading gaps start to show more.
Times tables, fractions and decimals, plus more reading alone. B.C. expects many multiplication facts to be recalled by the end of Grade 5.
Fractions, data and longer written answers, with Ontario's Grade 6 EQAO in the spring and middle school just ahead.

Not if reading or numbers already feel hard. Early gaps are usually smaller, and working on them before Grade 3 can save a lot of frustration later. At this age, ask for short, playful sessions that focus on the letter sounds or number sense your child is missing.
Start with the report card comments and a talk with the teacher. You're not alone: in Ontario, 65 per cent of Grade 3 students and 52 per cent of Grade 6 students met the provincial math standard in 2025-26. A tutor can also see where your child is in the first few sessions.
It depends on the grade and province. Ontario's math curriculum focuses on multiplication facts from 0 x 0 to 12 x 12, while B.C. builds understanding first and expects many facts to be recalled by the end of Grade 5. Look for a tutor who knows your province's curriculum, and ask them to make practice feel less like a drill.
