Summer Tutoring Lessons
Teachers’ Tutoring Services can help you find a summer tutor in Vancouver and surrounding areas.
Help your child catch up and get ahead
Unleash your child’s potential this summer with one-to-one summer tutoring lessons that will help to catch up on missed content and excel at school when it resumes in the Fall.
Teachers’ Tutoring Service offers tutoring services throughout Summer. Our tutors are BC certified teachers and are familiar with the BC curriculum. Hire a summer tutor through TTS and help your child achieve his or her potential.
Does my child need a tutor?
In order to evaluate if your child needs summer tutoring, think about how the past school year has been. Would some tutoring support have been beneficial?
In any case, summer tutoring offers the confidence boost students need to step back into the classroom next year. Try a lesson with us and recognize how valuable one-to-one time with a teacher can be for your child’s learning.
Benefits of summer tutoring
Sets a good foundation for the upcoming year. There is nothing like a good refresher! Summer tutoring sessions can increase the potential for retaining content that might otherwise been forgotten over summer. Studies show that children can lose up to 40% of the gains they have made per the school year while on summer break.
Fills the gap. Avoid the “snowball effect”. It’s better to reinforce and master the basics now rather than try to catch up in the fall.
It provides structure. Keeping a routine of studying (while still enjoying the summer break)) can be a big advantage to students, especially because it is easier to get used to school when classes are back. Another benefit is that it gives children something to keep them busy and focused.
Less pressured environment. Contrary to the school year, summer tutoring has no strict timelines or deadlines for students – they can learn at their own pace.
Gives an opportunity to explore what the child likes to learn. Relieved from the pressure, children can dive right into the topics that genuinely interest them. They might even explore a subject that leads down a future career path.
Promotes responsibility and accountability. Summer tutoring can help students create their own schedules and get comfortable with the idea of managing their own affairs.
How much does a tutor cost?
TTS tutors charge $55/hr per hour.
For this cost, we have a range of highly qualified tutors available to meet your specific needs.

What people are saying about our tutors
Her writing and reading improved quickly
Patricia K. helped our daughter gain confidence and tools to practice her reading and writing. Her playful, progressive and thoughtful teaching style and structured lessons have meant that our daughter looks forward to her sessions every week. We saw her writing and reading improve quickly, starting from her first lesson. Most importantly her confidence in her own skills have grown and she is enjoying practicing again!
Patricia K. is a very reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable tutor.

Lucky
Thanks to you and your team for running such an effective, efficient and reliable service. We were happy to connect with Patricia K. She is so thoughtful, gentle, generous and talented, and a great match for my son. We’re excited to continue our sessions with her — she is reliable, skilled, thoughtful, resourceful, and creative. I feel lucky to have matched with her!
Thanks again for all your help! Best wishes.

Encouraging and Engaging Tutor
I am writing to inform TTS of my experience of having been tutored in math by Mr. Silviu Z. I had reached out to Silviu earlier this year when I realized that it would be a struggle for me to complete a difficult online math course without help from an expert. At the time, I was also taking four other courses from Athabasca, all prerequisites for UBC’s Bachelor of Education Program. I do not have a strong mathematical background. Silviu was extremely helpful and patient while tutoring me. He helped me arrive at understandings and comprehensions of math that would have been out of my depth if not for his expertise. He is an encouraging and engaging teacher who sincerely cares about the success of his students. I would recommend him to anybody who is looking to further develop their mathematical skills.

Confidence and perseverance
Gabe got an 80 on his final and finished with a 79 in his class. We are pleased with how things went this year with math for him. His confidence and perseverance were greatly impacted by Lori’s support! Gabe really appreciated it as well and had very positive things to say about working with Lori F.

Extremely Grateful
I just wanted to follow up on my daughter’s experience with TTS.
Jordan A. was prompt, accommodating and supportive to our daughters needs. We were able to work out a weekly schedule plus Mr. A was accommodating to a few extra sessions prior to tests. Mr. A. in both his communications with me and my daughter, was always prompt and kind. He supported our daughter to understand Chemistry 12 concepts in a way that was more aligned with our daughter’s learning style.
We are extremely grateful for our whole experience overall with TTS and look forward to continuing with tutoring for our other children in the upcoming school year.
Wishing you a great summer, Rain.

Above and beyond
Silviu Z. is an excellent tutor, helping me excel in both in-person and online courses through his vast resources and knowledge of the BC curriculum. He was instrumental in my success through my pre-calculus courses, and continues to assist me moving into my university classes, most notably MATH 100. Thank you to Mr. Z for going above and beyond to help his students succeed.

Very helpful, thorough and professional
Daniel S. tutored my son in Chemistry 11 a few times and we were very pleased with his services. My son did better than expected on his Chemistry 11 final! We would not hesitate in hiring him again or in recommending him to others. He was very helpful, thorough and professional! Thank you very much!

Thank you for your time and effort
I would like to thank the tutor Gerry M. for his time and effort to provide help to my son. The final report has been issued today and his Calculus 12 is 87% which is “A”. I am glad that he had Gerry as his tutor during the last month of school.
Once again, thank you for your time and effort.

Kind and fun tutor
Our family contacted Patricia K. in a bit of a panic last fall when my daughter’s grade 6 classroom teacher went on leave and we were left with a different substitute every day.
Patricia K. fit us in right away and started working with my daughter in math and language arts. Listening to their sessions my daughter was happy and engaged – a miracle! Patricia encouraged her creative writing skills and her appreciation of my daughter’s writing really gave my daughter confidence to work hard on her writing and take it to the next level. In math Patricia has worked tirelessly on the fundamentals with my daughter and her most recent report card showed a vast improvement from the last two. I cannot recommend Patricia’s kind, fun, consistent and thoughtful approach more. She is a wonderful tutor.
