Atlas provides tutorial services for all grade levels from Kindergarten to 4th year
university in Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver. Our tutors are are either Bachelors,
Masters, PhD students or recent graduates, or have teaching certification. They
have experience teaching Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English and the Social
Sciences, and also teach effective study habits and test writing skills. Because
our tutors are students themselves, or are recent graduates, they remember the concepts
that were difficult for them to learn, and know how best to teach them.
We also prepare students to take standardized tests, such as the SAT, SSAT and TOEFL.
If you have any questions, send us an e-mail.
About the founder
Atlas Tutors was founded in 2001 by Lena Kikuchi, then a Master's student in Biomedical
Engineering at the University of Toronto. Lena had been tutoring from 1994. Through
her advertisements in newspapers and the continued high recommendations of her students
and their parents, she suddenly found that she had too many clients -- so she decided
to hire some help. Atlas Tutors was born. After opening a branch in Toronto, Lena
moved to Boston, MA, USA to work on research at Harvard University. We have since
opened a branch in Ottawa and Vancouver and presently, we are working on expanding
Atlas to Boston.

How to help your child succeed
Along with the help of Atlas Tutors, you can help your child succeed!
There are a few points to help foster an environment at home which will allow your
child to succeed in school and in life. One of the most important factors in helping
your child succeed is to build your child's confidence. It all starts at home. Among
the most important factors are:
1) Encouragement
This is simple when your child is doing well. However, it is important to bear in
mind that children must be encouraged, even when they are experiencing difficulties.
Find something to praise even when your child seems to be struggling.
2) Positive Reinforcement
Every small positive achievement that your child experiences, reinforces the most
important key to begin the path towards success: confidence. Confidence helps instill
a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
3) Patience and Support
Children need to learn that hard work pays off. Try asking open-ended questions
or rephrasing the problem, such as: "Maybe there's another way to do that," "I wonder
what made you think of doing it that way," or "What would happen if you changed...?"
Questions that begin with "why" should be avoided, since they will probably make
your child feel defensive.
