What are the signs?

Needing a tutor doesn't mean homeschooling isn't working. The signs usually show up when a subject gets harder to teach, or when high school, credits or a change of plan come closer.

01

Math has passed what you can teach

Fractions, algebra or functions now take you longer to prepare than to teach, and lessons end in frustration on both sides.

02

Science or French feels out of reach

Chemistry, physics or a language no one at home speaks is hard to teach well from a textbook alone.

03

Unsure you're covering enough

You wonder whether your child is on track with what children the same age usually learn in your province.

04

Your child learns differently

Reading, writing or focus needs more time and know-how than you have, especially while you teach siblings too.

How can a tutor help?

Choose a certified teacher for the subjects or skills you pick. You can ask them to plan with your province's curriculum in mind and keep you up to date, while you stay the one who runs your child's education.

Math and sciences you can hand off

Fractions, algebra, chemistry and physics can take longer to prepare than to teach. You can hand off the topics that take the most preparation to a certified teacher who knows them well. Ask for practice your child can do between sessions, so the subject fits your week.

  • Lessons at your child's own pace
  • Practice for the days in between
  • Hands-on science with everyday materials
  • From fractions to calculus and physics

French with a teacher who speaks it

If no one at home speaks French, a textbook alone can only go so far. Look for a certified teacher who teaches in French and can build reading, writing and speaking. Tell them whether your child is starting out or keeping French going after immersion.

A plan that fits your province

You may wonder whether your child is covering what children the same age usually learn. If you want, you can ask a tutor to look at your province's curriculum with you and show what each grade usually covers. Together you can sketch a year plan that suits your family.

  • What each grade usually covers
  • A year plan you can adjust
  • Simple ways to track your child's progress
  • Your province's curriculum as a guide

Support for a child who learns differently

Reading, writing or focus may need more time and know-how than you have, especially with siblings to teach too. Choose a certified teacher who has worked with needs like dyslexia, ADHD or autism, with or without a diagnosis. You can ask them to share routines that work at home.

  • A tutor who has worked with similar needs
  • Reading and writing support, step by step
  • Ideas for your own lessons too

Questions parents ask

Do I still need to notify my province if my child has a tutor?

Yes. A tutor doesn't change what your province asks of you. Ontario asks for a yearly letter of intent to your school board, Alberta and British Columbia ask you to notify or register each year, and Quebec asks for a notice and a learning project. The tutor doesn't file or report anything for you.

Can a tutor give my homeschooled child high school credits?

No. Tutors don't issue credits, report cards or diplomas. Credits come from schools and programs your province recognizes, such as Ontario's Independent Learning Centre or online learning courses in British Columbia. A tutor can help your child prepare for those courses and their tests.

Will a tutor take over my child's homeschooling?

No, unless you want more help. You decide what the tutor teaches and how often, and you stay the one who plans your child's education. You can start with one subject, like math or French, and keep teaching the rest yourself.

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.

How do I get started?

Sign up for free, tell us your child's grade, subjects and schedule, and choose a certified tutor who fits. Lessons happen online, at your home or at a public library.
