Testimonials - Tutoring Alliance

We've Been There

Time and time again, our clients – students, parents, schools and tutors – tell us what a difference our tutoring has made in the lives of a child and their family. We share these stories because they are real. We share them because we are proud. We share them to demonstrate how much you are not alone in your journey. We know what it’s like and can’t wait to help.

Students

"I just wanted to let you know I worked very well with the Math tutor. We covered one full unit that I now feel confident in. She also assigned work for me to do for my next unit so I can ask straightforward questions when she comes on Saturday. She was very helpful because she made sure that I wrote out everything myself and we went at a nice, slow pace.

It was a huge success! Thank you! She is absolutely brilliant!"

"I got 95% on my Bio summative and 96% on my Bio exam!!!! These marks will definitely increase my overall average in the course. Thank you so much for helping me with the exam!

Everything you helped me with this year I've gotten over 90% on so that shows you must be a truly amazing tutor!"

"Angela, thank you for arranging for a tutor on such short notice. Everything went well and I feel that I have a much better understanding of these types of problems going forward. The tutor was so accommodating and helpful."

"The Academic Coach you assigned is great. I had an exam yesterday, and the first conversation I had with him put me at ease. I was strongly considering dropping the course but his support motivated me to complete the exam instead. Glowing review so far!"

"I just wanted to thank you for all your help this year! I feel like I have retained so much more information since I started working with you!"

Our tutor is simply the best thing that has happened to us.

Parents of a LD Student

“We have to thank you for introducing us to our tutor, she has already made such a difference. Having someone in our corner who is able to apply our son’s IEP and coordinate with both his classroom teacher and psychologist has been a weight off of our minds. Her hands on approach and even incorporating games has our son actually looking forward to his tutoring sessions! His teacher has already noticed an improvement in his reading and self-confidence. Thank you so much!”

"Angela, I wanted to thank you for introducing our tutor to us. She has been so wonderful with our daughter for both Math & Science. This is our first year in a semestered school so we are sad to say goodbye to her already! We will keep in touch to begin again in her grade 12 year. Thank you again!”

Parent of Grade 11 Student

“My son is looking to pursue a Business degree and has already had some early acceptances into several Business programs. I can honestly say that our tutor has been a huge contributor to my son not only understanding but excelling in Math this year. He is an amazing teacher and we feel very privileged that our son had the opportunity to work with him. I can assure you that we will be in touch once our son begins University in the fall!”

Parent of Grade 12 Student

"Just a quick note to say that my son's first session with his tutor went VERY well. He said that his tutor is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) and he was surprised at how much he enjoyed his first session. Fingers crossed his enthusiasm continues. I found the tutor to be personable, enthusiastic, animated, and clear in his instruction. Thank you!"

Parent of Grade 8 Student

"My daughter just received her best report card ever! Her renewed confidence with math appears to have spread across her other subjects. We are very pleased!"

Parent of Grade 5 Student.

"I have to let you know that we are off to a great start with our tutor. She is very professional and has a delightful personality. My daughter LOVES her! I haven’t seen her so happy about remedial lessons before. What a refreshing change!"

Parent of Grade 10 Student

"Our tutor is an exceptional fit for our son. His grades and teacher’s comments have improved significantly. It’s so obvious that our son needs someone who is sensitive to his needs along with the one-on-one learning experience."

“Thank you so much Angela. I can’t begin to tell you the lifelong impact that our tutor has had on our boys. He is quite an exceptional tutor in both math and guitar in their own right. His life mentorship will always set him apart, and it has made an indelible, positive impact that will impact them their whole lives. Angela, we will always be appreciative of your introduction!”

The really challenging part is figuring out the student. Your tutors have done a superb job.

Tutors

"Angela Minaker’s great skill is her ability to match the client with the right tutor. She clearly understands her tutors’ strengths, allowing her to appropriately select a tutor according to the specific needs of each student. This appropriate matching results in a positive, productive relationship for both client and tutor."

Tutoring Alliance Tutor

"For the tutor, Angela is an invaluable source of insight. Her ongoing work in the field has allowed her to cultivate extensive knowledge of the tutor/student relationship; this makes it possible for her to respond with intelligence and sensitivity to a broad range of questions and concerns. She is sincere, funny and direct: these qualities create an atmosphere of openness and trust, in which the tutor feels free to articulate her thoughts and questions about a client. A phone consultation with Angela is often all the tutor requires to return to the client with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose."

GRADE 11 TEACHER

“Since beginning to work with a TTA tutor: the organizational skills my grade 11 student has learned have helped him keep on top of his homework and projects. His time management skills have also improved immensely. The student feels better about himself and his success at school. What a difference from last year!”

"Angela’s talent for finding superb tutors is outstanding. She consistently employs only the highest quality individuals."

GRADE 8 TEACHER

“Students in my grade 8 classes who have been assisted by the Toronto Tutoring Alliance have demonstrated notable progress and conspicuous results. These students have shown increased confidence in their abilities, and are positively driven toward academic success. The tutors’ efforts to liase with teachers have been exceptionally helpful. They are aware of teacher expectations and make every effort to direct the students in meeting them.”

Without reservation, I recommend this valuable service.
