Our office has a very small staff and if key members and teachers become ill, all services, including tutoring sessions, will be interrupted due to closures.
All of our tutors are:
All tutors have been through the process of a Police Information Check, and are clear of criminal records. We will connect your child with the instructor most suited to your child's learning styles, needs, and goals.
At the time of your intake meeting with the Program Coordinator, you will have an opportunity to outline the goals and needs of your child as you see them, and determine where learning priorities lay.
All factors available are taken into account, including previous report cards, parent and learner information given in response to questions, school testing where applicable, and reports from outside sources.
During the first tutoring sessions, the Program Coordinator and your child's tutor will become aware of specific difficulties with academic and/or learning tasks, and the overall plan for your child's tutoring sessions will be determined based on all of this information!
The process is fluid and driven by the learner's needs and academic level, and is continually communicated between Klitsa Tutoring and parents.
Your first step is to contact Klitsa Tutoring to schedule an intake session with the Program Coordinator.
During this initial meeting, the tutoring needs of your child and your family schedule will be taken into account before days and times are selected to suit your needs. Tutoring sessions can be booked Monday through Thursday, 10:00am through to 6:00 pm, and Fridays 10:00am through to 4:00 pm.
The process of setting up regular tutoring can take 2-10 days depending on demand for tutoring hours and tutor availability. If you need help right away before committing to a regular schedule, we can often make arrangements for tutoring to be available within hours of your call.
Our service is a pay-as-you-go format, so you pay for sessions as they are conducted. Many regularly scheduled clients prefer to pay for a few weeks of sessions in advance, or pay once weekly.
At the office, we accept cash, debit and credit cards. By phone, we will accept credit card payments. We do not accept personal cheques unless prearranged with the Program Coordinator, and we do not keep cash on the premises in order to make change for cash payments.

Within the Alberni Valley, there are several organizations and agencies that are willing to fund tutoring sessions for their members, service users, or clientele.
Klitsa Tutoring launched its Subsidized Tutoring Program in January 2017. The subsidy structure may help defer a portion of the tutoring fees or eliminate them entirely for some families.
If you have further questions in regard to subsidies and other supporting agencies within the Alberni Valley, please contact us.
