We provide online learning for all subjects offered. Our tutors have in-depth knowledge of using technology to both boost and clarify learning.

Online learning works especially well with students learning languages or taking subjects that require increased frequency in smaller increments.

Our tutors come to your house prepared with all relevant resources. We will always buy additional resources should you need them.

At-home learning is particularly effective for those requiring special needs, although it is not always a necessity.

Our group tutoring allows for tutoring at a reduced cost with the added benefit of hearing others’ questions and comments. This is particularly effective when studying for the Ministry exams, the High School Entrance exams, and language conversation classes.

Academic Tutoring

Created by a certified classroom teacher with years of experience, we have firsthand knowledge of how to supplement different types of learning and meet each school’s curriculum. We have a working knowledge of both the private and public systems in Quebec (in both English and French), as well as general curriculum requirements in Canada, and the US as a whole. We have also taught and continue to tutor students from different countries including those in the IB programs and in American-based programs around the world.

Book Dumpling Tutors offers academic tutoring in all subjects for all grade levels including Pre-Kindergarten, Elementary School, Middle School, High school and University / College.

In addition to the academic curriculum, we offer:

  • Gifted Kids' Programming

  • Dyslexia / Dysgraphia tutoring

  • Homeschooling Programs / Learning Pods

  • Special Needs tutoring for students with IEPs

Homework Help

Book Dumpling Tutors offers homework help for students from Elementary through University.

Combining mentorship with knowledge of the subject, tutors apply real-world examples to the most difficult of subjects and take into account each student’s backgrounds, abilities, and personal interests.

In addition to getting the work done, students learn to:

  • Build confidence / regain any self-esteem lost due to knowledge gaps.  

  • Develop academic independence.

  • Approach homework help with curiosity rather than apprehension.

  • Work on test preparation and assignment completion.

  • Develop effective study habits, routines and structures that are unique to their learning style(s).
