Tutoring/ Coaching at Momentum Learning Centre
Updated August 2023
This program is for students mainly in grades 4 to 10 who are finding math difficult or frustrating. Sessions are held online to provide optimal flexibility!
My goal is not performance-focused tutoring, but a tutoring/coaching combination that aims to support the growth of the learner as a whole person so they can succeed both in their school year, and also learn skills that will help them later in life. I aim to connect with each learner so that we can bring laughter to our sessions, and they can begin to build joy in learning and their life.
It can be tough in the world of school, especially once they get into high-school, for a child who is sensitive & big-hearted. By supporting your child in the process, rather than focusing on the grades or marks, your child can release anxieties and learn about themselves, including how they learn best! Here, your child can flourish because they will be given a supportive, caring environment where they feel heard and valued.

Along with math, we'll also touch bases on their other subjects and activities to make sure that they are feeling confident in other areas of their education and life.
Session Details
- Online Sessions are generally held over Zoom, but can be held over a variety of other methods depending on your child's technology and preferences.
- Sessions are generally 1 hour long, and offered in pre-paid packages. Once the package has been used up you can choose the same one, or choose another depending on your needs.
- All sessions come with in-between session support. For example, if there's a problem that your child is really struggling on, they can take a picture of that problem and I'll either write out a solution, or create a quick video and send it via text, email or some messaging program we decide on.
- Also available are mini 15 min or 30 min online sessions (0.25hr or 0.5hr taken out of the prepaid sessions). They are usually scheduled last minute, on an as needed basis and useful when there's more than just a few problems that a student needs help with but can't wait until our next session.
- Please read the Policies here for more information about cancellation, re-booking and payments.
- Students who are in online school may also benefit from the Scheduling, Organization and Accountability program as well! By combining both programs I can offer a discounted rate on the Tutoring & Coaching too!

Can you imagine your child happy and cheerful after they've finished a session? That's my goal!
When a student is experiencing stress, anxiety or has other things going on, it's important to let them "brain dump" and actively listen to their troubles before we get on to the task of the day.
Availability & How to Register
- My ability to bring on new students throughout the year depends on many things including the needs of my current students. Please check the main Programs Offered page for updates throughout the year.
- Once I know I have availability, I will send a form where I can learn more about your situation and make sure it is something I am able to offer.
- Then, we set up a meeting (either online or over the phone) where you, your child, and I can get to know each other. Here we want to make sure that we will be a good fit, work well together, and that I have the skills needed.
You just might find that your child will enjoy our sessions so much they want to continue all year! Some of my learners have stayed with me for many years!
Packages & Pricing
- Once we have had our initial meeting and I'm confident that we will be a good fit, work well together, and that I have the skills needed we can discuss scheduling, start times and package options.
- A 4 hour package is $278, and the 8 hour package is $535. Once or twice a year larger packages at a further discounted rate are often available. Payments by EFT also receive an additional 3% discount ($270 & $520 respectively).
- Payment is accepted by Email Money Transfer (EFT) as well as Credit Card/Apple Pay/Google Pay through the Stripe platform.
Don't forget, once you're part of the Momentum Learning family, I am here to help support you and your child as long as you need in whatever ways I can!
A Few Things to Note:
- In cases where online schools are providing funding there is usually some sort of additional meeting/approval process to go through as well which varies school to school. Depending on the school this sometimes can delay things for a couple weeks.
