The Elite Tutoring Experience

By Patti Vipond

This year has been a successful one for in-home tutoring service, Scholarly Elite Tutoring. The company’s Elite Tutoring Method has gained immense popularity, and has received accolades including two 2019 Readers’ Choice Awards. Scholarly Elite’s exclusive members maximize their knowledge and capabilities in areas such as math, literacy and STEM. Using the Elite Method, students develop academic confidence and success using a 100% individualized learning plan.

Originally founded in Barrie, the service now offers one-on-one private tutoring and success programs to elementary and high school students in their own homes throughout Simcoe County, Peel Region and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Since the company’s launch in 2016, Scholarly Elite has been providing high-end tutoring services driven by their core values of integrity and empowerment. Founder, Arlinda Demiri, has created a system where individualized learning, meticulous academic standards and a growth mindset are given top priority. As a result, students can progress academically at their optimal pace. This way, each concept can be mastered, allowing for students to fully understand the material in a stress-free environment.

“A child struggling to learn how to read or to keep up in math class does not have to be left behind. There is always a solution,” says Demiri, who notes that many students who falter academically tend to lose confidence in their cognitive abilities if the difficulties persist.

This is why Scholarly Elite completes a free comprehensive assessment to ascertain individual academic requirements and the appropriate teaching methods. “Taking the time to get to know your child’s learning style and personality allows us to cultivate a supportive learning environment where they will thrive.”

The company’s proprietary Growth Mindset programs for reading, writing and math are evidence-based, use interactive learning modalities, and can be taken in English or French by elementary students. Students in grades 6 to 8 can also be primed for achievement with Scholarly Elite’s individualized Math Success and Essay- Writing programs that help them gain the necessary skills for high school.

Learning sessions conveniently take place at the student’s home, making it easy to fit tutoring into a busy lifestyle. Sessions are scheduled at the optimal time for students and parents, and accommodate student learning goals. When working with a Scholarly Elite tutor, students can bolster skill development using their individualized Personal Learning Plan and can receive help with homework and test preparation.

A child struggling to learn how to read or to keep up in math class does not have to be left behind - there is always a solution.

Once in high school most students receive tutoring in math and science subjects such as algebra, factoring, trigonometry, functions, calculus, chemistry and physics. Members even include students with high marks looking to gain an edge for the competitive post-secondary application process. Whether students are looking to build confidence, improve marks or are seeking enrichment opportunities, Scholarly Elite empowers each learner by taking their ambitions into consideration to create the most effective learning plan for them.

“Individualized academic mastery is at the core of the Elite Method. We employ rigorous educational standards using a forward-thinking curriculum to develop the foundational skills required for success.”

Demiri suggests being proactive about a child’s education is one of the best ways for parents to avoid future stress.

“Why wait for your child to start struggling? Strengthen their confidence and future-proof their education with enrichment tutoring. Your child can maximize their potential by learning the key skills needed for any subject in advance. An academic advantage is the ultimate gift you can give your child,” she says. “Our tutors work throughout the entire year including the summer for precisely this reason.”

Taking the time to get to know your child's learning style and personality allows us to cultivate a supportive learning environment where they will thrive.

While some people have a natural learning proclivity, everyone can develop academic strength. Demiri likens the process of building learning expertise to perfecting your golf swing. Proficiencies in math, executive function and literacy are established through consistent practice and application.

“We know that every student is capable of excellence, and our mission is to show each child that they can achieve their goals,” says Demiri. “Students must be taught in a way that optimizes academic development. At Scholarly Elite Tutoring we enable students to master fundamental skills that carry on into later grades for both current and future achievement. We are dedicated to your child’s success because we know they deserve to succeed.”
