Success Tutorial School

I attended STS when I was in high school a while ago. At the time, I needed extra support with my Gr.12 Advanced Functions course because I was not understanding the concepts taught during day school. I also wanted it to count towards my university application. I diligently worked towards obtaining a decent mark and paid close attention during the tutoring sessions and was able to add the final mark into my university application. I was then accepted into all the universities I applied to including the University of Toronto St. George campus, which I attended for my undergraduate studies. I believe the teacher who taught the course was extremely helpful and was able to help me understand the concepts of Advanced Functions in a different perspective, with acronyms and tips that really stuck with me. The homework packages that came along with each class were also very helpful in that they provided me more practice to ensure that I truly understood the material. Besides Advanced Functions, I also took a Creative Writing course which also helped in perfecting my essay writing skills.

I am a former student who came back to STS years later as a teacher. STS follows the Ontario curriculum rigorously but notices its glaring flaws and slow pace. Students are given plenty of practice and teachers are encouraged to push beyond the textbook. This method of teaching allows students to understand what they are doing and why they are doing it. At the end of an accelerated term at STS students re-enter day school understanding more than their teachers.

I would like to share my review about Success Tutorial School. My child is currently at STS for math (Grade 5) for a few years now. I am writing this review now because I feel STS should be recognized for their outstanding services. I remember at the beginning when we met Christina, Chief Coordinator who provided us with the introduction of the school and the programs. She was professional, courteous, friendly and patience with answering all our questions. She gave us a tour of the school and explained the importance of education and how tutoring will help our children excel in school and be comfortable with some of the challenging subjects. Thank you, Christina, it’s because of you we joined STS.Let’s jump forward to our recent experience with STS and the reason for me to write this review. My child was involved in a sporting competition were at the time, her practice schedule was unpredictable and created chaos for her other studies/activities. The major practice day fell on her math tutor day, and I reached out to STS to arrange a different day to accommodate her practice. At that time, she was doing online tutoring at the Markham location. Changing a tutor day may sound simple, but it wasn’t in my case because I already had other ongoing studies/activities in place and now had to fit in practice days and find a new tutor day.Now faced with the challenge of fitting everything within the week seemed impossible. This is when STS stepped up and went above and beyond. We worked together through the challenge of finding the right time, day, and lesson for my child to continue with her math tutoring. STS also worked within their internal staff, communicating with the Markham and Scarborough location, providing suggestions for me to move into in person and dealing with my constant back and forth with changes. STS was able to make it work!To end my review, I want to say a big Thank you to Anita, Miriam, and Avery. Thank you for being so patience, professional and friendly throughout the whole process and for providing me with ongoing updates and suggestions. Thank you for making a seamless transition from online to in person and most of all thank you for taking the time to listen and understand my situation and doing all that you can to make this work for me. Thank you all so very much!

I worked at STS for four years as a Science and Math tutor and I loved it! it was a great place to teach with flexible hours during week nights and weekends, which helped me to balance both school and part-time work at the time. I was supported by the supervisor and administrative staff and they took care of all of the paper work so that I can focus on teaching and the learning development of the students. STS is continuously improving its curriculum to align with the Ministry of Education. There were also opportunities to socialize outside of work and annual parties! All in all, STS is a great place to work and I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends!!

this is the best after school tutor my daughter has ever been to. The teachers are extremly clear and patient in class. My daughter has been there for over five years and is still continuing class now. I am very grateful for this place and it's teachers.

STS has provided me with the opportunity to build on my skills and knowledge as a teacher. I enjoy interacting with all the students (in person and virtually) that come into our classes and helping them in various subject areas. The supervisors and administrative staff at STS work incredibly hard at ensuring that there is seamless communication between all parties (teachers, students and families).

The school staff and teachers are very professional both in person and during remote classes. My son joined their math and English classes about a year ago and he had been learning and making good progress. He likes the teachers and enjoy having their classes. Highly recommended!

My son attended a 6 week English writing course with Success this summer. He will be going to Grade 7 in Sept and so I wanted to prepare him for more effective English writing. It’s an intensive course, 2 classes per week, ~3 hours each class. My boy said it’s a lot of work but he said he had learnt a lot and was very glad that he took the course. The teacher was very professional and engaging. The staff was also responsive and reliable. One time, my son didn’t join the class after it started, and after 10 mins, the staff called me to see if he would be joining. Only then I realized my son was struggling with the internet connection and so I was able to help. Overall, I’m very impressive with the quality of the course. Thanks Success!

I took Grade 12 calculus, and my marks were constant high due to examples and lessons n taught in the class. The lessons have helped me a lot, and I was confident enough that I could understand the university level calculus course as well. The teachers are nice, and help you improve. It’s a great place to get an ahead in school.

STS is a great environment with teachers who truly care about the students’ education and well-being. They are very supportive, professional and want the best for the kids. Additionally, the content is always taught in-depth and explicitly explained. I would recommend it to any student who strives to do well in their academics!
