GENERAL QUESTIONS
Within two (2) weeks of a student attending his/her first appointment, we will send out an email offer to book regular appointments for the next booking period (approximately 8 weeks).
Regular appointments are booked by session (fall, winter, spring).
Elementary students are eligible for a maximum of ONE 30-minute appointment per week. During certain high-demand periods, we may only be able to provide one appointment every other week. We can sometimes offer last-minute appointments to students on a waiting list.
Secondary students are eligible for a maximum of TWO 30-minute appointments (in different subjects) per week. During certain high-demand periods, we may only be able to provide one appointment per week. We can sometimes offer last-minute appointments to students on a waiting list.
LEARN tutoring runs from 5 to 8:30 PM, Monday to Thursday, during our Fall, Winter and Spring sessions.
All appointments happen online. There is no need for families to leave home to take advantage of the service. All you need is a computer, earphones or speakers, and internet access.
Specific materials, homework or questions can be shared with the tutor before the session. Please scan, photograph or send a link to tutoring@learnquebec.ca before 4 PM on the day of the tutoring session, and we will pass along the resources to the tutor.
Students can also ask to share their Zoom screen or share a file in the chat during the tutoring session.

We expect 24 hours notice before a canceled appointment. Except in case of emergency, a last minute cancellation is considered a missed appointment. Students receive a warning after each missed appointment. After three missed appointments, the student is removed from tutoring for the remainder of the school year.
Our tutors are on contract with LEARN. We do not arrange for private tutoring.
Tutors and students alike are not mandated to use webcams. If there is a specific reason why webcam use would be beneficial to a student, please identify this need to the tutor.
Webcams require a lot of bandwidth, which may be limited in some regions, and others are concerned about privacy.
Free tutoring funded by l’Entente Canada Quebec is only available to public English school boards and those private English-language schools accredited for subsidies.
