A New Kind of Math & Science Help for High School Students in Ottawa

Small group learning that helps students actually understand their coursework, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to thrive in school and beyond.

I’m a Student I’m a Parent

Traditional Tutoring

  • Focuses on getting through this week’s homework or next test.
  • The tutor explains while the student listens and nods along.
  • Often builds reliance on the tutor’s help to succeed.
  • Puts a struggling student across from “the expert”, which can make them feel behind or “less than.”
  • Confidence comes from the tutor’s presence and disappears when they’re gone.

What We Offer Instead

  • Focuses on learning how to learn, so students can succeed in any subject, long after the semester. 
  • Students do the thinking, talking, and problem-solving while a facilitator guides and supports.
  • Builds independence; students leave knowing they can figure it out on their own.
  • Puts students with their peers, so they see everyone is learning together. Struggle is normal, and helping each other builds confidence.
  • Confidence comes from real breakthroughs and earned success, so it stays with them.
Tutoring fixes the symptoms. We fix the root cause.

Our Study Groups

Our programs are designed to keep students engaged, supported, and building real confidence in their abilities. They’re not just reviewing content, they’re learning how to learn, and walking away confident to tackle the next challenge.

Here’s what a study group experience looks like…

A small supportive learning community

Groups of 6–8 students in the same grade and subject work on the same material, so no one feels out of place.

90-minute interactive workshops on Zoom

Led by trained facilitators who keep students actively engaged from start to finish.

Students choose the weekly focus

The group decides what’s most important to review based on upcoming tests or tricky topics in class.

Students work through challenges together

Students pool their knowledge, fill in each other’s gaps, and apply what they know to real test-style problems.

Student voices lead the sessions

Facilitators guide with questions, prompting students to explain their reasoning, share strategies, and learn from each other, only stepping in to keep learning on track.

Learning strategies are built into every session.

Students leave knowing not just what to study, but how to study it.

Why Group Learning?

Learning has always been a social process. We make sense of ideas by talking them out, asking questions, and hearing different perspectives. Explaining our thinking uncovers gaps in our understanding, while listening to others sparks new insights.

But somewhere along the way, learning became a solo activity. Now students spend most of their time working in isolation, and it’s leaving them frustrated, disconnected, and doubting themselves.

Our small groups bring learning back to its roots. They provide a supportive community of peers that makes schoolwork feel less overwhelming and a lot more achievable, motivating, and even fun.
