About Us
Helping Hands Tutors has been supporting students and their families across Ontario for over a decade!
Established in 2010 by experienced Ontario Certified Teachers (OCTs), Helping Hands Tutors provides private in-home and online/virtual tutoring services by Ontario Certified Teachers for students across all grade levels (JK to grade 12), subject areas and abilities. We work with students with a variety of abilities, learning differences and special needs, as well as with students who are receiving physical or mental health services, such as occupational therapy, speech-language therapy or psychotherapy. This working relationship allows for a smooth transition from therapy to academics. With an interest in mental health education and trauma-informed education, we recently partnered with Whole Heart Mental Health and Wellness Clinic and we are proud to work with and support students living with mental health conditions, as well as with their families and clinic providers. Our tutoring lessons are based on the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum expectations and best practices in education.
All of our tutors are dedicated and experienced Ontario Certified Teachers (OCTs) with Special Education (and other) qualifications. They help identify areas of difficulty and help students strengthen a wide range of academic, learning and study skills. Subject areas for tutoring include, but are not limited to: English/literacy, mathematics, science, social sciences, French and the arts. Assistive Technology supports are also available. Our tutors support students with learning strategies and executive functioning abilities by helping them understand their strengths and weaknesses, learning styles and by helping students develop their learning, study and organizational skills. We also have OCTs available to help parents navigate the education system and the special education process, including understanding school team meetings, academic assessments, IEPs and IPRCs.
Tutoring takes place in a one-to-one setting in the privacy and comfort of the student's home or online/virtually. Special arrangements can be made for tutoring to take place in hospital or treatment center for children receiving medical care. All tutoring lessons are individualized to meet the needs of each student. Our tutors help foster a love for learning, as well as build confidence and self-esteem. Organizational and study skills are taught in order to enhance cognitive and creative skills.
