Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General Questions
What age groups do you serve?
We serve students from Kindergarten through Grade 10, offering programs tailored to different age groups and skill levels. Because we meet the child where they are at academically, the programming usually falls in that range (whether it be math or reading help needed).
What qualifications do your staff have?
Our instructors are highly qualified, with backgrounds in education and subject matter expertise. Many hold a bachelor of Education and other specialized training in their prospective areas.
What subject areas do you provide help with?
We specialize in math and reading, but also provide support in writing and spelling if desired.
Can I claim this on my taxes?
Tutoring services that are additional to the primary education of a person with a learning disability or an impairment in mental functions, and paid to a person in the business of providing these services to individuals who are not related to the person. A medical practitioner must certify in writing that these services are needed. (Tutoring Medical Expense definition on CRA site.)
Enrollment and Scheduling
How do I enroll my child?
Enrollment can be done online, but you can contact Bloom Learning for any questions or concerns you may have.
Is there a minimum commitment required?
We offer various plans, including monthly and per-session options, with no long-term contracts required. Interventionists are available on a first come first serve basis. Testing with no follow up intervention is also available. Contact us for more details on this service.
Can I choose specific times and dates for sessions?
Yes, we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your family’s needs. Sessions are available Monday-Thursday from 4:30pm-8:30pm. You can choose from an option of 30 or 45 minute sessions (can book up to four times a week).
Do you have a no-show policy?
Spots are pre-paid and if the child misses due to any reason, there is no refund. Just like other activities in which your child may be involved (ex: swimming lessons). If your child’s interventionist is sick, a qualified educator will fill in for that session.
Programs and Curriculum
How is the program tailored to my child's needs?
Each program is personalized based on your child’s assessment results, strengths, and areas for improvement.
Do you offer online intervention?
No, we currently only offer an in-person option at this time but may offer online intervention in the future.
Pricing and Payments
How much do your programs cost?
Pricing varies based on frequency of sessions and length of session chosen but all sessions are based on $80/hour (prorated: ex: 30 minutes is $40). This fee is inclusive of all fees after testing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit/debit cards, checks, and online payments. See website to schedule and pay in one easy process. Contact us to pay in cash.
Progress and Results
When will I start seeing results?
While every student is different, many parents notice improvements within 6-10 weeks of consistent tutoring (based on 2 sessions a week).
Can parents observe sessions?
No, they can not directly observe but are welcome to stay in the building in the waiting room. Canadian Tire is directly across the street as well as close to other amenities.
Is an assessment really necessary?
Yes. Our In-Depth Learning Assessment provides a complete picture of a student’s academic needs. Our battery of standardized and informal tests allows us to select and customize programs to best meet the needs of each individual student. The assessment also serves as a baseline from which to gauge future growth. Results and recommendations are presented in a meeting directly following the assessment.
What if we have already had a Psycho-Educational Assessment done?
You will still need to book an In-Depth Learning Assessment which includes both standardized and informal tests not included in a Psycho-Educational Assessment. We welcome you to bring a copy of your Psycho-Educational Assessment as it does provide useful information.
