Mobile Tutors started with a simple idea. Every student learns in a different way, so good help should fit the child, not the other way around. From our base in Edmonton, we work with students from elementary school to high school. Today, a big part of our work is online tutoring.
Many parents ask us if learning on a screen can really work. It can, when it is done right. A random video call will not help your child much. A planned session with a tutor who knows the student will.
Here is how we run our sessions. First, we talk with you and your child. We ask about school marks, goals, and the topics that feel hard. Then we match your child with a tutor who suits their needs and personality. Each session is one-on-one. The tutor uses a shared whiteboard, screen sharing, and practice questions, so your child is working through problems and not just watching. After each session, we share short notes so you know what was covered and what comes next.
Why does this format work for so many families? The first reason is time. There is no travel, no winter driving, and no rushing from school to a tutoring center. Your child sits down at home, opens a laptop, and starts. That saves energy for the actual learning.
The second reason is comfort. Many students relax in their own space. A shy child often asks more questions from their desk at home than they would in a busy classroom. Asking questions is where real learning starts.
The third reason is flexibility. Evenings and weekends are easier to plan, and that helps busy households.
If you are choosing a tutor for your child, here are a few things to look for:
- Knowledge of the Alberta school curriculum
- Clear goals for each month, not just “improve marks”
- Regular updates for parents
- Patience, and the ability to explain one idea in more than one way
That last point matters a lot. If a child does not understand fractions the first time, we try a picture. Then a real-life example. Then more practice. Small wins add up. A student who solves one hard question starts to believe they can solve the next.
A few simple habits also help at home. Pick a quiet spot and charge the laptop before class. Keep a pen, paper, and headphones nearby. Sessions of 45 to 60 minutes with a short break work well for most students.
We offer help in math, science, English, French, and social studies, along with test preparation. You can see the full list of subjects at mobiletutors.ca.
We also want to be honest about one thing. Online tutoring is not magic. It takes a few weeks of regular sessions and some practice between classes. In most cases, confidence improves first. Better marks follow.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is online tutoring as good as in-person lessons?
For most students, yes. The key is a good tutor, a clear plan, and regular sessions. The format matters less than the teaching.
2. What does my child need to get started?
A laptop or tablet, a stable internet connection, and a quiet place to sit. We guide you through the rest.
3. How often should my child have sessions?
Most students do well with one or two sessions a week. We adjust this based on goals and school deadlines.
4. Can parents see how their child is doing?
Yes. We share short notes after sessions and talk with parents whenever they have questions.
If your child needs extra support with school, we would be happy to help. Call Mobile Tutors at 780-710-5868 to talk about your child’s goals and find a tutor who fits.
