Homework Club

Homework Club is a chance for kids to come out and get some help with their schoolwork. It's a chance to get some one-on-one help from older students and other adults who love to teach.

Oftentimes, there are basic building blocks that we miss along the way in our schooling. It might have been some math concept in Grade 3 that we missed, which made Grade 4 a little harder, and Grade 5. And by the time Grade 6 came along, the student is so confused, they don't even know where to start asking questions. Plus, they've given up that they ever could really learn it.

This is where one-on-one tutoring helps. Often, all we need is someone to sit with us and walk us through a problem a few times - without any pressure of having to move on before we're ready.

Many of us have also found that as our kids move on in the system, we no longer can help them with their homework. Grade 9 math is nothing that we remember. We took French so long ago (literally decades!!!) that there's no way that we can help them conjugate in the Passe Compose!! Or maybe our child just needs to practice reading with someone. Or maybe it's science or English grammar, essay-writing, or Geography. Whatever it is, we'd like to offer help in the way of tutoring.

The Students

Students can be from grades 3 to grade 12. Everyone is welcome from all schools anywhere.

You can drop in any time after school for some help. If you have a specific subject that you are struggling with, give us a call ahead of time so that we can make sure we have the right people here to give you a hand.
