Educational Services – Home Tutoring

My son, Ari, just started Grade 1 and was not interested in reading whatsoever. I’d try to read with him at home, but we would both end up frustrated. I decided the best way to nurture a reader would be to hire a tutor — someone who would be firm, yet flexible. Someone who would adapt lessons to his interests and make it fun.

I called Yael at Base Camp Tutors and after having us complete a thorough intake questionnaire, she matched us with Amanda. We liked Amanda the moment she came to our house for Ari’s first lesson. She laughed at his jokes and communicated with him at his level. He warmed up to her immediately. But when she started to plan reading lessons around his favourite subject — baseball — I knew it was a match.

Ari truly looks forward to reading books about baseball with Amanda and writing his own baseball cards. She helps him prepare for his spelling tests at school and after a really productive lesson, she ended the session five minutes early to play baseball with him. You’d think that would be counter-productive, but I was more than excited to see them bond. It makes learning to read that much more fun.

I also enjoy having sessions in my house. I love making dinner and tending to my other son while Ari receives personalized attention in a comfortable environment. It’s been the most worthwhile investment and Ari’s confidence is already on the rise. I’m so glad I called Base Camp Tutors. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.
