Certified teachers who already know the provincial curriculum, extending the work your staff start in class.

Community organizations and non-profits

Fund tutoring for the students in your programs, so cost stops deciding who gets help.

What your partnership is backing

Certified teachers, not gig tutors

Every teacher holds a professional teacher certificate in good standing and is vetted before they meet a student.

Support built for real needs

Personalized learning plans, including support for ADHD, autism, dyslexia and students working to an IEP.

Reach across Canada

Online anywhere in the country, in person, or at a public library, so location stops being the obstacle.

Teachers earning on their own terms

Certified educators use their expertise for flexible income without the administrative load of running a practice.

Partner Benefits

What a partnership returns, beyond the goodwill.

Reach families at the moment they are deciding

Parents arrive already searching for academic support. A partnership puts you in front of them while the decision is still open.

Co-branded campaigns and shared events

Joint campaigns, event presence and cross-promotion across our channels and yours, planned together rather than bolted on.

Revenue share and referral arrangements

Sponsored programs, integrated services and referral terms, set out plainly before anything starts.

Reporting you can take to your board

Students supported, subjects covered and sessions delivered, reported back so the partnership can be judged on evidence.

How a partnership starts

Four simple steps, and you can stop at any of them. School boards can follow their usual purchasing process.

1

Tell us what you need

Send the form with a line about your organization and the problem you are trying to solve.

2

A 30-minute call

We talk through who you are trying to reach, your timeline, and what a good outcome would look like.

3

A proposal in writing

Scope, terms and how we will report back, all on paper before anyone signs anything.

4

Start small, then report

We begin with a pilot, then come back with what happened: students supported, subjects covered, sessions delivered.

Tell us what you are trying to solve

A line about your organization is enough to start. We read every one of these and reply ourselves.

Questions partners ask first

Who can partner with Connect Education?

School boards and individual schools, community organizations and non-profits, employers of any size, EdTech companies, and faculties of education. If your organization touches students or the people raising them, there is usually a version of this that works.

What does a partnership cost?

It depends on the shape. Sponsorship, referral and integration partnerships often cost nothing and are structured around shared value instead. Where an organization is funding tutoring directly, we price it against the scope and put it in writing before anything starts.

How quickly can a partnership start?

Most conversations begin within a few days of the form arriving. A small pilot can usually run inside a few weeks, because the teachers are already certified, vetted and on the platform.

Where are you located, and where do you work?

Our head office is in Toronto, and we work across Canada. Every teacher is a certified teacher who holds a professional teacher certificate in good standing, and we match teachers to the curriculum your students are taught. Sessions run online anywhere in the country, in person, or at a public library.

What is a Lunch and Learn?

A short session for your team about supporting their children's learning, available across Canada. We run the session, and employees who want tutoring sign up individually afterwards. For most employers it is where the partnership starts. From there you can offer tutoring as a company-wide benefit, or sponsor hours directly with aggregated, anonymized reporting.
