TPS- Find an IELTS Tutor in Outer Gatineau (Hull, Plateau, Alymer)
There are many IELTS classes now being offered in the Ottawa Gatineau area, and yet the demand for home tutors remains strong. Why?
Many students feel that group classes waste their time and ultimately their money. Classes are usually organised around particular skills and strategies but the reality is that we all have skills and strategies that need individual attention. No two learners are ever the same in terms of strengths, weaknesses, level and learning style. Ultimately many students feel that taking classes, even in very reputable institutions, does not address their concerns so rather than saving money, in the long term they do the very opposite. Studying with a tutor in your home is not just convenient, it is efficient.

Before you find a time ...
You need to settle in your mind a number of issues before finding a tutor.
1. Is it necessary for me to take IELTS?
There are other alternatives to IELTS in almost every situation. For example, most universities offer a choice between IELTS and TOEFL. Immigration test can now be CELPIP. If you have a teen who has stayed in Gatineau for more than 2 years he or she can escape IELTS in many institutions (UBC requires 3 but many others require less). It may be better to put your effort into good English 12 marks and provincial exams.
2. Which areas do I need the most work on?
If you do not know the answer to this question, try doing an IELTS sample test. It might surprise you to know that what you thought were your weakness might actually be strengths. Remember the provincial exams are far different tests from IELTS.
3. Do I know this test well?
If you have taken classes before than you probably do but if you do not research the test by going to the TPS IELTS page.

Schedule for Tutors
Enrollment for new students in Gatineau starts from We are currently enrolling students for February 2018. Please see the programs page for online tutoring and the rates. Online tutoring is flexible for times and can be placed virtually anytime from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm ET. If you are from Vancouver remember you are 3 hours behind.
IELTS home tutoring lessons are 2 hours at $60/hr or $120/lesson. During the first meeting, a free consultation with the tutor and student is conducted to determine a schedule and program. If you require an initial full IELTS test in the 4 sub-skills (i.e. reading writing listening and speaking) to establish a benchmark, this can be arranged but is billed according to cost of an IELTS lesson. Analysis and consultation is given in the subsequent lesson after it is marked.
