How Grade A Works
At Grade A Tutoring & Learning Centre, we don’t just “help with homework.” We use a proven, results-driven approach that builds real skills and lasting confidence. Our method is built on four powerful steps: Assess • Plan • Teach • Report.
1. Assess:
Skills Assessment
Every student begins with a Skills Assessment to diagnose their strengths and gaps.
-
This isn’t about passing or failing — it’s about mapping exactly where your child is academically.
-
The results give us a clear blueprint for success.
2. Plan:
Personalized Learning Pathway
Using the assessment data, we design a customized Grade A Pathway™ for your child.
-
The pathway outlines the exact skills to be mastered.
-
Parents get a transparent roadmap of what their child will be working on and the order of progression.
3. Teach:
Mastery-Based Tutoring
This is the heart of our system — Skill Builder Mastery Sessions.
-
Students work through our exclusive Skill Builders workbooks and digital resources, focusing on one skill at a time (e.g., fractions, comprehension, writing).
-
Tutors ensure that your child fully understands before moving forward.
-
Sessions are available in-person or online, one-on-one or in small groups.
4. Report:
Proof of Progress
Parents deserve more than guesswork. That’s why we provide consistent Grade A Progress Reports.
-
Each completed Skill Builder includes a short Skills Test to prove mastery.
-
Parents receive regular updates showing skills covered, test results, and progress along the pathway.
