When the language of school is not the language of home
Brossard is home to families from all over the world, and you will hear Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic, Spanish, Persian, English and many other languages in its parks and shops. The children, though, spend their school day in French. In the evening, there may be no adult at home who can check a dictation, explain a grammar rule or read a math word problem with them. That is often where a tutor makes the biggest difference.
The tutor goes over the vocabulary and rules seen in class, teaches your child to read instructions carefully and helps them get organized with homework. For parents, we also take the time to explain a report card, a note from the teacher or how the ministry exams work, in English or Persian if that is easier. Classes are live online, in the evening or on weekends. See our online tutoring page for details.
What Brossard families ask for
The needs we see most often
Understanding Quebec schools
Report cards, competencies, end-of-year exams: we explain to parents what the school evaluates and how to follow progress.
Math word problems
Many students who calculate well get stuck on the wording. We work on reading problem situations as much as on the math.
High school French
Grammar, text analysis and writing, all the way to the Secondary 5 French writing exam.
Choosing a Sec 4 math sequence
CST, TS or SN: we help you choose based on your child's real level and future study plans.
Persian classes for kids
For Iranian families who want their children to keep the language, with our Persian classes.
Brossard schools and sectors
Support that fits local schools
French public schools in Brossard belong to the Centre de services scolaire Marie-Victorin, including École secondaire Antoine-Brossard, one of the large high schools on the South Shore. Our tutors follow the Quebec curriculum from elementary to Secondary 5, including the ministry exams, and our ministry exam calendar helps you plan review time.
After high school, many Brossard students head to Champlain College Saint-Lambert next door, or to a French CEGEP on the South Shore. Science programs require solid algebra, so we prepare that transition at the end of high school and then support CEGEP calculus. The REM stations in Brossard make it easy to get into Montreal, but our classes for Brossard are online, with no travel at all.
