Grade 9 Math Prep Week:
The jump between elementary and secondary math, while often daunting for many students, is a crucial point in their mathematical progression. The Grade 9 Math Prep Week introduces the opportunity to get prior experience working with and understanding the concepts taught in Grade 9 Math and allows students a sneak peek at what will be expected of them. This Grade 9 Math Prep week is a great opportunity for students to prepare for what will be the foundation of their high school math experience. This program is offered at the end of the summer based on demand. If you would like more information or to express your interest in enrolling, please email us.
Exam Sessions:
High school exam sessions are provided at the end of each semester by request, and are designed specifically for high school students who need guidance or strategies for final assessments. These sessions are tailored to teach studying strategies, organization, and summarization of notes as well as the chance to work through course review. Exam sessions are group sessions scheduled by The Learning Academy prior to exam week. Practice exams will be provided.

“My son used to cry every morning before school. He hated going to school and had very little confidence in himself. After two weeks of tutoring I noticed a huge change. There were no more tears in the morning, he started telling us about his day at school, and he was asking us to read with him at home.”
