About School Success

Our vision
1) All students do not have the same approach to learning. The tutor must adapt to the child.
2) Learning should be fun for the child and not a chore.
3) Effort should be rewarded by success.
4) The child must develop learning methods and gain confidence in their ability to become independant.
5) The work of the tutor is done in synergy with that of the teachers and parents
Our Mission
School Success' mission is to promote academic success.
We therefore offer tutoring services to students in elementary school, high school, and college. Using an innovative and stimulating pedagogical approach, School Success strives toward halting the dropout rate for all of Canada's students.
Our approach
In order to honour our commitment, respect our values, and achieve our goal of igniting the pleasure of learning and joy of succeeding in all students, we developed a 6-step method:
1) A tutor is chosen based on the needs and personality of the child
2) The tutor helps the child set precise and achievable objectifs in order to ensure that success is within their grasp from the beginning. Baby steps.
3) The tutor and the parents value the achievement of objectives. This is the joy of success.
4) The tutor ensures that school work is completed and the subject matter is understood.
5) With their student, the tutor develops work methods and learning methods.
6) Constant online communication, between the student, their parents, the teachers, and the tutor, ensures proper follow-up.
After a few weeks, the child will proudly share their achievements with you and you will savour the pleasure and joy of their success!
