One-on-One tutoring can help to improve your reading,
writing, spelling, grammar and basic math skills to about a
grade 9 or CLB 7. Tutoring takes place on the day and
time convenient for you and the tutor.
Listening, speaking and pronunciation skills are best
learned in group sessions where one can speak and listen
to a variety of people. If you require help with these skills
you will be placed in a Conversation or Pronunciation
class as room permits. One-on-One tutoring is not
provided for these skills.
Tutoring is ongoing until you meet your specific goals within our current
programming.
If you are an agency worker and/or client, please speak to Read On staff for
additional information.
