Why should I choose My Tutor Source (MTS)?

My Tutor Source (MTS) conducts sessions through up-to-date teaching methodologies. Our tutors are trained in all Canadian provincial and territorial curricula. They are highly qualified and hold a Master’s degree (or higher) in a relevant field. 

Moreover, our management team closely monitors each teaching session. The tutor prepares each session according to your specific needs and academic goals. They share productive notes, including presentations, by the end of each session. 

Are classes available online, in person, or both?

Yes, you can choose either online tutoring or home tutoring depending on your individual needs and goals. But online tutoring is very popular among students in Canada.

One-on-one or home tutoring is more expensive and would cost you significantly more money than online tutoring. Moreover, MTS online tutoring is very much like in-person tutoring. Each session is personalized and closely monitored by our support team. 

So the absence of the need to travel, affordable rates, and support availability during sessions are some of the key attributes that give MTS online tutoring a considerable edge over in-person teaching.
