We will provide a unique and customizable tutoring experience for all students of any grade level.

  • We directly follow the outcomes of the Alberta curriculum during our tutoring sessions.
  • We are fully qualified to teach all areas of science including Biology, Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry.
  • We can also provide group sessions for students preparing for diploma exams. We have access to hundreds of past questions which will help them become more familiar with the subject matter and exam process.

Lead Academy’s teachers are more than tutors.
