A weekly hour on the specific topics that slipped, aimed at the next reporting period rather than open-ended.
Post this taskExam season, planned
A schedule worked backwards from the exam date, with the weak topics first rather than the comfortable ones.
Post this taskEnglish for work
Conversational and workplace English aimed at interviews and the phone, not at a textbook.

Local knowledge
Priced for how the GTA actually lives
Four things that change a tutoring quote here, and nowhere else.
The Ontario curriculum
A tutor has to teach what the school teaches
Ontario sets its own curriculum and its own EQAO assessments, and a tutor working from a US or UK syllabus is teaching adjacent material. Asking which curriculum they teach to is the fastest way to sort a GTA tutor list.
Grade 9 destreaming
Ontario changed how Grade 9 works
Destreaming has changed what Grade 9 looks like and where students fall behind, and a tutor who is current on it is working on the right things. It is a live, province-specific fact rather than general maths help.
ESL and newcomers
The GTA’s tutoring demand is not only academic
A large share of enquiries here are adults working on conversational and workplace English rather than students on homework. It is a different lesson, a different tutor, and it should be said in the post.
University applications
OUAC deadlines set the calendar
Ontario’s application timetable and Grade 12 marks decide when essay and admissions help is actually useful, which is why the autumn of Grade 12 is the crush and February is quiet.
What a tutoring arrangement usually includes
- A first session to find out what is actually missing
- Lessons at your home, theirs, a library, or over video
- Work between sessions where it helps
- Teaching to the Ontario curriculum where it applies
- A plain account of progress rather than a report
Materials and workbooks are usually separate, and many tutors use the school’s own.
Try nowWhat moves the price
- Level — Grade 12 and university subjects cost more than elementary
- In person or online, and who travels
- Session length and how many a week
- Exam season, which is the annual peak
- Specialist subjects and admissions coaching
- Group or sibling sessions, which usually reduce the per-hour rate
Worth asking before you accept an offer
- Do you teach the Ontario curriculum for this grade?
- What course code or level have you taught most recently?
- In person or online, and where would we meet?
- How will we know it is working?
- Do you set work between sessions?
- What is the cancellation notice?
Three steps
How Taskly works
- 1
Post your task
Say what needs doing and when. Free, two minutes, no account until you accept.
- 2
Compare offers
Verified Taskers send a price and an approach. You see the whole cost up front.
- 3
Choose, then pay
Pick who fits. The money is held and released only when you confirm it’s done.
No lead fees on either side — Taskers don’t pay to make an offer, so you’re not paying for someone’s cost of finding you.
Why Taskly
What you can actually count on
Reviewed before they offer
ID check, phone verification, a real interview and a real photo.
Priced with a method
Ranges come from a versioned, dated rate table — never an invented average.
Built for the GTA
Lift access, month-end crunch and salt season are in the pricing, not surprises.
Pay only when done
The money is held by Taskly and released after you confirm the work.
Questions
Frequently asked
GTA-specific answers to what people actually search for.
When should we start?
September or October if you have a choice. The work is establishing rather than remediating, and you get a better choice of tutor than you will in the February rush.
Online or in person?
Online works well for most subjects and most ages, and it lets you book the right tutor rather than the near one. In person is better for younger children and for students who need someone in the room.
My child is strong at maths but new to English. What do we book?
Often subject-specific English rather than more maths. Say so when you post — it changes who should be answering.
