Free Math Tutoring for Grade 6-8 students with an Ontario Certified Teacher!

This October and November, the Math Learning Leads and Technology Enabled Learning Teacher successfully registered all grade 6-8 students for TVO Mathify; a free tutoring website offered by the Ontario Ministry of Education that allows eligible students to access an Ontario Certified teacher between the hours of 9 am to 9 pm Monday to Friday.

“I like Mathify because the tutors explain anything I need help with. They give multiple strategies to get to the answers. The tutors I worked with were very nice and worked slow with me to understand" - Grade 8 student at Our Lady of Lourdes School

"I like Mathify because they give you more than one strategy for questions and they explain it in detail. The tutors give me time to understand." - Grade 7 student at Our Lady of Lourdes School

TVO Mathify is an incredible digital resource that can help students in mathematics both in the classroom and after school. Students have access to one-to-one support, at no cost! They can upload pictures of their math work directly to the website so that the tutor can guide them through the learning process and provide them with on the spot feedback. Additional features on the website include access to an interactive whiteboard with math tools and a problem bank for extra practice questions and lessons.

You might wonder, “Why is TVO Mathify so significant for our students?”. The Superior North Catholic Math Learning Leads, Lena Stahl and Karly Baker explain more: “ We recognize that parents and guardians have varying work schedules and varying comfort levels with mathematics. Sometimes this might prevent parents from fully supporting their child’s math homework routine. TVO Mathify removes those barriers by giving all students access to free tutoring. Students can use TVO Mathify on their board-issued Chromebooks by logging on at a time that suits their schedule at home or during school hours if the teacher is busy with another student(s). Additionally, the TVO Mathify platform is safe and secure giving parents and guardians peace of mind while their child is boosting their confidence and understanding of key math concepts. It is a win-win for everyone involved.”

Please contact your child’s classroom teacher if you would like more information on how to access their free TVO Mathify Account.
