For students struggling with English
English in a way it makes sense
Learning English reading and writing can actually be fun! Our tutors do their best to instill a taste for reading and writing in their students. This can make a big difference to schooling, especially when the tutoring can begin with Primary students. Even though it can be difficult to learn how to read and write, the support of a tutor can make this challenge easier. Reading and writing are fundamental skills necessary to a successful school career.
Building confidence in English
During lessons, tutors provide constructive feedback to students based on their performance and goals. Students feel better prepared for English exams and have increased confidence in their writing. Many past clients have contacted us with positive feedback regarding their student’s boost in confidence.
Overcome essay writing frustration
Get the help you require for all your writing needs. Whether a high school paper, a university entrance essay, or even a research paper or thesis, a tutor can help make it easier. Your English tutor helps teach you how to structure essays and put your ideas on paper. Our tutors help students build solid study and organizational skills, which will benefit them throughout their academic careers.

What our English students are saying
Still wondering about tutoring costs in Vancouver?
Cost of tutoring broken down
TTS is a non profit society – as such, our goal is to provide you with affordable, high quality tutoring, while minimizing cost. The bulk of the $53/hr hourly rate is paid to the tutor, while a small portion covers off TTS administration and staffing charges.
Additionally, a portion of the tutoring rate is donated to TAS Tutoring Aid Society. TAS is our registered BC charity that provides subsidized tutoring services to students that wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford tutoring.
