EQAO test prep
EQAO is Ontario's provincial test in Grades 3, 6 and 9, checking the reading, writing and math taught in class. A certified tutor who knows the Ontario curriculum can build those skills and make the online test familiar. Online, at your home or at a public library.

EQAO doesn't diagnose anything, and the Grade 3 and 6 results don't go on the report card. These are signs your child could use steady help with the skills it checks.
Your child knows it at the kitchen table, but rushes, freezes or leaves answers blank once a test starts.
They read the passage aloud just fine, then can't say what it means or find the part a question points to.
Asked to write a paragraph or explain an answer, they stare at the page or write one short sentence and stop.
Fractions, decimals or multi-step word problems fall apart, even when the basic math facts are already there.
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:
A good tutor doesn't teach to the test. Look for one who finds the reading, writing or math skills your child is missing, works on them step by step and tries EQAO's free sample tests with your child.
Your child reads the passage aloud just fine, then can't say what it means. A tutor can practise finding the main idea, reading between the lines and backing up an answer with words from the passage. Ask the tutor to use short passages like the ones on the test.
Open-response questions can leave your child staring at a blank page. A tutor can break writing into steps: plan the idea, write it down, then reread and fix it. You can ask for practice on the kinds of prompts your child finds hardest.
Math is where many students need support: 52 per cent of Ontario Grade 6 students met the provincial standard in 2025-26. Look for a tutor who finds the earlier step behind the mistakes and works forward from there. Ask for word problems done one step at a time, with your child showing how they got there.
Some children know the work but freeze once the test is timed. You can ask a tutor to try EQAO's free online sample test with your child, so the format holds no surprises. A tutor can also practise pacing a session and moving on from a hard question.
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.

Not in Grades 3 and 6: EQAO says those results are not included in report card grades. Grade 9 math is different. Ontario's Growing Success policy says the Grade 9 math assessment counts for 20 per cent of the final Grade 9 math mark, starting in 2026-27.
Honestly, EQAO says students don't need extra preparation, because the test follows the Ontario curriculum. What helps is solid reading, writing and math skills and knowing the online format. If your child is behind in one area or freezes on tests, a tutor can work on exactly that.
For Grades 3 and 6, results reach schools in the fall of the next school year, and your child brings home an Individual Student Report. For Grade 9 math, the report is ready for the teacher soon after the test, and your child brings it home.
Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.
