Our Curricula

Our Process

who

This important first step means you will the chance to speak directly with our Academy Director about your child’s areas of need, their strengths, their personality, their interests, and their learning style. Relevant medical, educational, social-emotional, and family history will also be discussed.

Next, our Academy Director will personally contact your child’s classroom teacher, and any other professionals who may be providing support to your child. This way, we can ensure our expertise is integrated into your child’s existing support team.

Then, we will consult with our team of highly qualified educators to determine which member of our team will be the right “fit” for your child. This is based on a variety of important criteria: areas of need, strengths, personality, interests, and learning style. Information about your child will be shared with the tutor at this stage.

After, you will be connected with your child’s tutor. You will have the chance to learn more about their educational and professional background, set goals for your child’s tutorial support, and map out a schedule that meets your family’s needs.

Now, your family will meet your child’s tutor and they will have their first session together. The tutor will come with an engaging, effective, and personalized lesson plan, filled with interactive activities designed to help them get to know your child as a student and person. This first session will help to determine their instructional planning for your child moving forward. You can expect to receive relevant feedback from your child’s tutor about their first session.

Soon after their first session, our Academy Director will contact you directly to ensure your satisfaction with your child’s tutor. We will check-in again after subsequent sessions to confirm we have found the right “fit” for both your child and their tutor.

According to the frequency of sessions and your child’s areas of need, our Academy Director will regularly follow up with you to reflect on your child’s progress and to help determine next steps in their Growing Success journey. Ongoing feedback from your child’s tutor will facilitate this important step.

Parents of Students in Grades 3 and 5

Growing Success Academy was the best thing we did for our girls to assist them in keeping up with school curriculum. As a parent it is a hard dynamic to help your child with homework, and as [our daughters] received more and more challenging homework we found that the techniques the school uses now are far different from how we learnt. [...] Homework for us usually consisted of arguing and crying – now we had [our tutor] and all I could hear was laughter and the want to do better. My eldest daughter has been working with [Growing Success] for 3 years and she has gone from shutting down at school when she saw a math problem she couldn't get straight away to getting 90% in her math tests. We have both our girls with [our tutor] and I don't know who loves her more me or my girls. [Our tutor] has made my life easier in helping the girls navigate their learning with confidence and joy. [Our tutor] is an essential part of their lives.

You are a fabulous tutor and my family and I all value your help and guidance enormously. You have been patient, professional and unerringly caring for all my kids. You have gone to bat for them every time a “conflict” or interaction comes up at school. You have given my kids confidence academically as well as socially and emotionally. Their increasingly high grades reflect your outstanding guidance and skill in their tutelage. I would recommend you anytime to anyone who is looking for a tutor, [b]ut, don’t want you to get too busy to come to us! […] Again, I think you are wise, patient and have an incredible amount of perspective for someone so young. This wisdom and skill all play a large role in why you connect so well with my kids. My kids all ask if this is a “[Tutoring] Night? Please?” and are always thrilled to hear that you are coming.

You are part of our family! You have helped [our daughter] to find her voice and confidence in her way. Your support and understanding her learning style has been fundamental for her academic development. One of the key takeaways for us is that you have encouraged fun learning making sure that learning is fun and not a task.

Parents of Students in Grades 6 and 8

Growing Success Academy has been working with our daughters for approximately two years and has made a very positive contribution to their overall academic success. Our [eldest] daughter’s biggest challenge has been to focus on completing tasks, especially in group environments and with subjects that she has little interest in. [Our tutor] has been able to make learning fun for our daughter which has allowed her to better keep pace with a very demanding IB curriculum. She looks up to [her tutor] and looks forward to working with her, so much so that our younger daughter [was] always asking if she can work with [our tutor] too. Without any hesitation, we would recommend Growing Success Academy to other parents. [Our tutor] is extremely familiar with our school’s curriculum and how subject matter is taught. She is able to break down tasks into manageable pieces and can explain concepts and methodologies to children in ways they can more easily comprehend. [Our tutor] has a charisma that children love and it’s obvious to us that she truly loves her work and enjoys seeing children thrive.

Parent of Students in Grades 1, 3, and 5

[Our tutor] has had such a positive impact on my daughters. [She] has been instrumental in my children's growing confidence in their academics. She sets small reasonable goals and my girls feel like they are achieving these goals and come away from each session super excited about what they have done and excited about what they will be learning in the future. I truly feel that our sessions with Growing Success Academy are the perfect compliment to the school curriculum. I would highly recommend Growing Success Academy to other families.
