Local BC-licensed ELL teachers, Levels 1 through 4. Small-group and 1-on-1, online or in person at our Richmond centre — and a step-by-step route into mainstream English classes at school.
Our ELL tutoring follows the ELL curriculum the Canadian school boards actually use. We assess a student's English level properly, teach to the knowledge points the ELL assessments test, and work towards the next level up.
Who it's for: families who have been told a level and not much else, and want to know what specifically has to change to move.
The edge: the levelling and the teaching come from the same curriculum the school is levelling against, so progress in class shows up in the school's own assessment.
A team of local licensed English teachers with over 10 years of ELL tutoring experience. They know each board's ELL requirements and levelling standards, teach to the priorities of each ELL level, and target the in-school ELL Assessment result.
Who it's for: students whose spoken English sounds fine and whose written work still comes back marked down.
The edge: licensed local teachers, named on this page with their credentials, who have taken students through these levels before.
The StudyPug online learning platform has served millions of students and is used by school districts across Canada. Full course planning, regular assessment and written learning feedback come with the class.
Who it's for: parents who want to see progress on a schedule instead of asking how it is going.
The edge: the teaching, the practice and the reporting sit in one place, so parents keep seeing where their child is without chasing it.

I have been taking Advanced Writing for a year, and I think Tyler is one of the best teachers I have had. He is easy to talk to and always makes you feel comfortable asking questions. His classes are well organized and we always get a lot done. He gives helpful feedback and pays attention to how each student is doing. Most importantly I can see my improvements through my school work. I have been getting higher marks since taking this course!
My child enjoys Tyler's class. There are a lot of discussions in class, and they practice writing and conversation at the same time.
Translated from the original Chinese review: 「我家的孩子喜歡上Tyler 老師的課，上課討論滿多的，同時練習到寫作跟會話。」
Alex is a great teacher of English, and he has helped me improve my English a lot.
Translated from the original Chinese review: 「Alex老师教我们英语很好让我的英语提高了很多」
