Learning English with a tutor
Strong reading and writing carry into every other subject, from science reports to history essays to math word problems. When a student falls behind in English, the effects show up everywhere, and when they catch up, so do their other marks.
Educify English tutors help students from early elementary through Grade 12 and university, and adults who want to write and speak with more confidence, one to one, online or in person.
What English tutoring covers
- Reading: phonics and fluency for young readers, and comprehension for older ones
- Writing: sentences, paragraphs and complete essays
- Personal, persuasive and analytical essays, and literary analysis
- Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary
- Novels, short stories, poetry, drama and Shakespeare
- Research skills, citing sources and avoiding plagiarism
- Speaking, presentations and debate
English Language Arts in school
In the early grades, tutoring focuses on reading fluency, comprehension and getting ideas down on paper. In middle school, it shifts to structured paragraphs, essays and reading more demanding texts.
In Alberta high schools, students work through ELA 10, 20 and 30, and in Grade 12 write a diploma exam in ELA 30-1 or 30-2 with a written-response part and a reading part. A tutor can practise both under timed conditions and help with planning, organising and revising essays.
Writing support that keeps the work yours
Tutors help students plan, draft and revise their own writing: finding an argument, organising evidence, writing clearer sentences and fixing errors they can learn to spot themselves. They do not write assignments for students.
Learning English as an additional language
If English is not your first language, or you are preparing for an English test such as IELTS or CELPIP, our ESL tutors focus on conversation, listening and the skills those tests measure.

English lessons: common questions
My child reads below grade level. Can tutoring help?
Yes. A tutor first finds where reading breaks down, whether that is decoding words, reading fluently or understanding what was read, then works on that skill directly with books your child finds interesting.
Can a tutor help with essays without writing them?
That is exactly how our tutors work. They help with planning, structure, evidence and revision, and they explain errors so students can correct them, but the writing stays the student's own.
Can you help prepare for the ELA 30-1 diploma exam?
Yes. Tutors practise the written-response and reading parts of the exam, with timed essays and feedback on how to improve them.
Do you teach English to adults?
Yes. Adults come to us for professional writing, university courses, and for English as an additional language through our ESL tutors.
