What are the signs?

Most teens won't ask for help. Watch for marks slipping in a key course, missing work, and studying that only starts the night before a test.

01

Marks dropping in one course

Math or English was fine last year, and now the marks keep sliding and your teen says the teacher goes too fast.

02

Late and missing assignments

You find out from the online portal or a teacher's email that several assignments were never handed in.

03

Studying means rereading notes

Your teen spends hours at the desk before a test, but mostly rereads notes and still feels lost on the day.

04

Stressed about averages and exams

Talk at home turns to final exams, university averages and prerequisites, and your teen feels one bad mark ruins everything.

How can a tutor help?

Look for a certified teacher who teaches the course your teen is taking. You can ask them to work on the next unit test or the essay due Friday, and on study habits that make the next course easier.

Math and science, step by step

Your teen may get answers wrong without knowing why, or freeze on test questions that look new. A tutor can go back to the step where the course stopped making sense, then work forward through the current unit. Ask for practice that looks like your teen's actual tests.

  • Finding the gap behind wrong answers
  • Practice that looks like the course tests
  • Functions, calculus, chemistry, physics and biology
  • Choose a tutor who teaches that course

Essays that say what they mean

Your teen stares at a blank page, or hands in essays that wander. A tutor can help with building a thesis, finding evidence in the novel or article, and writing paragraphs that hold together. Ask for feedback on your teen's own drafts, so the writing stays theirs.

  • Thesis, outline and paragraph structure
  • Reading closely and finding good evidence
  • Feedback on drafts, never rewriting them
  • Planning around the essay due date

Exam prep that starts early

Final exams and provincial assessments carry real weight in high school, and cramming the night before rarely holds up. You can ask a tutor to map what the exam covers and plan review well before the date. Practice under real time limits helps your teen know what to expect.

  • A review plan built back from exam day
  • Practice questions under real time limits
  • Final exams, diploma exams and provincial assessments
  • Starting review weeks ahead, not the night before

A study system your teen owns

Long hours at the desk don't always mean real studying, and big assignments pile up. A tutor can help teens plan the week, break projects into steps and study with practice questions instead of rereading. These are habits your teen can keep using in college or university.

  • A weekly plan for every course
  • Big assignments broken into small steps
  • Practice questions instead of rereading notes
  • Habits that carry into college or university

What changes as my child grows?

Each year raises the stakes, from settling into high school in Grade 9 to the final marks colleges and universities look at in Grade 12.

Sign Up for Free & Find Your Tutor

Grade 9

A new school, more teachers, more homework. A tutor can help close gaps from earlier grades and build habits before marks start to count.

Grade 10

Courses get harder, and B.C. students write Grade 10 literacy and numeracy assessments. Extra support can help keep math and English strong.

Grade 11

Grade 11 courses often lead into Grade 12 prerequisites, so a shaky start in math, science or English is worth fixing early.

Grade 12

Final marks, exams and post-secondary applications land in one year. A tutor can help your teen stay on top of the courses that count most.

Questions parents ask

Is it too late to get a tutor in Grade 11 or 12?

No. Many families start when one senior course gets hard or exams are coming up. A tutor can't promise a mark, but you can choose one who teaches the exact course your teen is taking now and ask for help preparing for what's left this term.

How much do final exams count in high school?

It depends on the province. From 2026-27, Ontario written exams in English, math and science count for 20% of the final mark in Grades 9 and 10 and 25% in Grades 11 and 12. In Alberta, diploma exams count for 30% of the final mark in 12 Grade 12 courses.

Can a tutor help my teen meet university prerequisites?

Yes, with the courses themselves. Each university sets its own required courses and minimum marks, so check the program's admission page together first. You can then ask the tutor to focus on those prerequisite courses and the skills they build on.

Are the tutors certified teachers?

Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.

What if the teacher is not the right fit?

Let us know. You can ask for a different teacher, and our team will help you find a better match.
