A Smarter Approach to Learning: Traditional tutoring often puts a band-aid on the problem, helping with homework but not addressing why learning feels so hard in the first place. We take a more precise approach, targeting the foundational skills needed for reading, thinking, and problem-solving so your child can succeed now and in the future.

Our Services

Programs Designed for Real Progress

Each of our one-on-one programs is built to meet students where they are, help them catch up quickly, and keep them growing with confidence.

Reading Curriculum

For students who struggle with sounding out words, reading smoothly, or understanding what they've read. We precisely identify and target skills that are holding them back, and build them up to fluency.

Foundations Curriculum

Believe it or not, learning is a skill in itself. "Learning how to learn" supports all other learning. With methods based in the science of learning, we build the mental flexibility needed for problem-solving, perspective-taking, and critical thinking.

Behaviour Consultation

We work with you to look at the bigger picture. Together, we'll create strategies that support your child at home or school.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

The details parents ask us about most.

How is North Shore Precision Teaching different from regular tutoring?

Regular tutoring often focuses on homework help. We go deeper-rebuilding core skills and teaching in a way that sticks. Because every session is tracked with data, you’ll see clear, measurable progress.

What kind of students do you work with?

We support learners ages 5–18. That includes students struggling with reading, kids with diagnoses like dyslexia or autism, and advanced learners who want to accelerate.

What are Direct Instruction and Precision Teaching?

Direct Instruction ensures new skills are taught clearly and effectively. Precision Teaching makes those skills fluent - so students can use them smoothly, confidently, and automatically, just like a musician playing without thinking about each note.

My child finds learning stressful. How do you keep them engaged?

We make progress visible and rewarding. Students set personal bests, earn points, and see their growth charted every session. Over time, success itself becomes the biggest motivator.

Do you offer online tutoring?

Yes. Our online sessions are designed to be just as effective as in-person instruction and allow us to work with families anywhere in B.C. For families on the North Shore, we also offer in-home sessions.
