The Toronto District School Board oversees 451 elementary schools, 105 secondary schools, and 5 adult education schools. These schools provide education based on the Ontario Curriculum as outlined by the Ministry of Education.

 

Our certified tutors educate based on the current curriculum so that your child can apply their enhanced knowledge in the classroom. We strive to cover curriculum material before it is taught in class so that students can see the parallels between what they are learning at home and at school, and approach new subject matter confidently.

 

Public Schools in Downtown Toronto and East Toronto are all under the Toronto District School Board, with the exception of:

  • Public French schools under the Conseil Scolaire Viamonde
  • Catholic schools under the Toronto Catholic District School Board
  • French Catholic schools under the Conseil Scolaire Catholique Moin Avenir (My Future Catholic School Board)

 

Our tutors in Downtown and East Toronto familiarize themselves with the curriculum covered across these boards. By experiencing this material before it is taught in the classroom, students are able to approach new topics with confidence and ease. We always make sure to revisit any topics to ensure there are no gaps in a student’s knowledge of prevalent course material.

The owner

Lindsay Wotherspoon

Lindsay grew up in Toronto. She received a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry from Western University and completed a Bachelor of Education at Brock University. She worked in the Independent School Community for just under two decades. As a teacher and a mother of three children, Lindsay understands that each child learns differently and has employed her knowledge of teaching and learning in her own home. The power of listening and empathy are critical elements of Lindsay’s skills.

Lindsay’s career in education spanned over 15 years at a preeminent, independent girls school in Toronto. She was as a primary teacher in Grades 2, 3 and 4, eventually taking on the role as Lead Teacher in an inquiry based environment. Lindsay transitioned from teaching to Enrolment Management. She applied her skills to Student Recruiting; working with students and their families to help them navigate the independent school environment. This role encompassed developing assessments as well as interviewing students and their parents to facilitate a smooth transition to the school.

Lindsay believes that teaching and learning is a collaboration between students, teachers and parents. In order for students to grow into confident and independent learners they must first be known by their teachers. Building relationships with her students and parents is a particular strength of hers. Additionally, she recognizes the importance of timely and effective communication with families in order to build a safe and trusting relationship.
