LEARN Tutoring
ONLINE TUTORING WITH QUALIFIED TEACHERS
In collaboration with the 9 English School Boards AND CSS du Littoral, LEARN Tutoring provides online tutoring appointments at no charge to students.
Our online tutors are qualified Quebec teachers, experienced in tutoring, review, and consolidation. We work directly with elementary (gr. 2 and up) and secondary students and their families.
Update Regarding LEARN Tutoring 2026
LEARN and Quebec’s English-language school boards are working together to share some changes about our tutoring service.
For many years, LEARN has been able to offer tutoring free of charge to families. This was possible because LEARN received funding directly from the Ministry of Education through a Canada–Quebec agreement. The program is continuing, but with some changes.
What has changed?
This school year, the Ministère de l’éducation changed how tutoring is funded.
- LEARN no longer receives funding directly.
- Funding is now given to each school board.
- AJDS and QAIS independent school students are no longer eligible to receive support from LEARN Tutoring.
- Each school board has limits on:
- Who can register
- How many tutoring sessions are available
These changes were confirmed in January and started with this Winter session.
We know many families have depended on LEARN’s tutoring for many years. During the Fall session, LEARN and the school boards worked together to keep tutoring going while we waited for clear information from the Ministry.
What This Means for Families
Students may receive LEARN tutoring if they meet at least one of the following Ministry criteria:
- The student’s mark in the subject is between 50% and 70%
- The student failed the subject last year and is retaking it
- The student has an IEP that recommends tutoring
Because each school board has different limits, some students who received tutoring in the Fall may not be eligible anymore.
If your child is no longer eligible for LEARN tutoring, your school or school board can guide you toward other supports that may be available to help your child.
Working Together
These changes do not impact how much we value tutoring.
LEARN and the school boards are working together to:
- Explain what has changed
- Help families find the right support for their children
Thank you for your patience during this transition. LEARN remains committed to student success and is exploring long-term solutions to better support families in the future.
