Tutoring Options

Students often struggle with Academics, and they are frequently in search of additional help.

Please see the various options listed below or any of the ones posted on the Guidance/Student Services Bulletin Board.

It is always recommended that the student consult first with the subject teacher.

Peer Tutoring/ Community Tutors

Grade 9 and 10 students are welcome to visit our notice board in the Guidance Office to get contact information for local community tutors for various subject areas.

Please Note: It is recommended that parents contact and screen the community tutors as to your son/daughter's needs. MPSJ does not pre-screen any of the tutors.

Also, Grade 9 and 10 students can request the contact information of a peer tutor from their Guidance Counsellor. These Peer Tutors are made up of Grade 11 and 12 students who either wish to receive community hours or payment. This will be determined upon contacting the tutor.
