What are your teaching hours?

Generally our centres are open during after-school hours, offering classes from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm Monday-Thursday, and open for classes on Saturday mornings.

Many locations also offer learn-to-read and homeschooling programs for students throughout the day from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm.

Centre hours and programs offered will vary by location. Please consult the centre closest to you for actual hours of operation, as it may differ slightly.

How big are the classes?

Our regular programs run at small tables with three students to one teacher. This is a ratio that allows forÌýone-on-one instruction balanced with independent work. Each student gets a chance to interact with the teacher as well as a chance to work on their own.

We also offer small group programs and workshops with usually no more than 8-10 students per session.

Are the tutors trained teachers?

Yes—all of our tutors are fully trained in the 91°µÍøÂ® system as well as having a post-secondary education. The majority of our tutors are also trained in various areas of public and private education with a variety of specialties.

What if my child doesn’t like their program?

Talk to us! If your child is struggling with their program, please let us know. Our aim is to make 91°µÍø a fun and engaging place to learn for every student, and if your child is unhappy, we’ll work to fix whatever the problem is.

Once the first class jitters pass, the majority of our students love coming to class to report on their school progress and stock up on high-fives.

What is your cancellation policy?

91°µÍø has a 30-day cancellation policy.

How long does it take until my child sees success?

This answer has many variables. It depends mostly on what your goals are for your child and what your definition of success is.

For some parents, success is being able to read and understand written paragraphs without fighting, for others it’s getting an A plus on a calculus exam.

Each child’s goals are unique, and for that reason, the answer will depend on you and your child.

That being said, to reach maximum cognitive gain, we recommend about 100 hours of instruction. If your child attends two 1-hour classes a week, it adds up to about 8 hours a month of instruction.

Generally speaking, it takes about a year to reach 100 hours.

How much do children typically improve?

How much a child improves depends entirely on the learning objectives and the child’s learning pace. It also depends on how frequently your child attends class.

We measure success by identifying goals together during regularly scheduled Lesson Review meetings. Together, parents and centre staff set goals unique to each child’s needs, whether it’s recognizing sight words or mastering quadratic equations, or even simply not forgetting to do homework. Then, at the next meeting, we track progress. Are the goals being met? Do the targets need to be revised?

The biggest indicator of improvement usually comes from something that can’t easily be measured—how a child feels about school and learning. Usually, after a few classes (and after the initial jitters have worn off), students start to feel better about school and learning. They are more motivated and more confident. Struggles become fewer, and attitudes about school improve. To many parents, this is the best improvement of all.
