How It Works
Tutoring
Great Minds Academy is an after-school enrichment program in math, english and science for children ages 4 and up. The program consists of weekly classes and homework assignments. Teaching and learning takes place in a small group environment with emphasizes on developing confidence, creative problem solving and preparing students for higher education. Our high-quality teaching, and academic management is focused on improving student achievement, and creating a safe, clean and comfortable environment. All our teachers possess an appropriate qualification and have valuable prior teaching experience.
We evaluate your child’s strengths, needs, beliefs and behaviors, so we know exactly where to start. Based on the results of initial evaluation, teachers design a customized learning program at either below, at or above the students’ grade level. Our expert teachers guide, instruct and adapt to your child’s skill level and pace. As students progress through the program, each worksheet becomes one step more advanced than the one before, ensuring your child fully absorbs and learns each concept before moving on to the next.
Customized Programs
Whether your child is working to maintain good grades, looking for enrichment, or trying to catch up to grade level, our teachers will create an individual learning plan for their success. Memorization has its place, but it is better to have a 100% understanding of concepts.
Child-Centred
We provide a positive learning experience for your child. This means meeting your child where they’re at, cultivating a strong relationship with them, understanding their personal learning style, and actively working to build their confidence while they learn.

Provide encouragement, assistance and feedback to the students and parents in a timely and appropriate manner. Provide a timely opportunity to any parent who wishes to discuss any concerns they may have about their child’s experience.
Student Connection
The positive connection between the tutor and your child is crucial; this connection is strongest when tutors work in small groups and give parents instant feedback.
