DeliberateU Tutoring helped my son achieve high 90 average and IVEY school success.
Thank you so much for the work you’ve done our 3 children from grade 3 through grade 12. The customized one on one support in all subjects with great tutors is working!

They have come a long way. They have caught up and gone beyond in their math learning
Thank you so much for the work you’ve done for our daughters over the past 1.5 years. They have come a long way. They have caught up and gone beyond in their math learning. Thank you so much for getting them to this place – they are now confident in their abilities!
Bailey, Elite athleteGd 12 Adv Functions
“As an elite athlete, my classmates went onto Harvard and other IVY league schools. They were asking me to help them solve their math-that was quite a feeling!
I was struggling with math and really frustrated. Tutoring helped me understand the material and now I’m at the top of my class.

Transformational. My son stopped saying "I hate school, its so stupid" and adopted steady study skills
Last year both my kids attended DeliberateU on a regular basis. It was transformational. For the first time one of them stopped saying 'I hate school, it's so stupid' He gained confidence in reading and math skills, and participated at school more actively.
The other adopted steady study skills, which translated to positive feedback from teachers, and a happier kid.
I highly recommend DeliberateU. Fiona is an exceptional teacher, and she coaches the tutors to make sure the kids benefit from each session.

Thanks for building confidence in him
Thank you for helping my son out when I did not know what to do next. You have been extremely patient with him. Thanks for building confidence in him. You made him realize that he is good and just needs to tread the same path (with improved habits).

Our children enjoy DeliberateU! They foster a love for learning and inquiry and a growth mindset. We have seen big improvements in academic abilities and a positive approach to learning.
They receive individualized attention that identifies and targets their learning needs in a very supportive environment. Rather than feeling pressured to perform, DeliberateU focuses on fostering a growth mindset. Hard work is encouraged and we have seen big improvements in their academic abilities as well as in their positive approach to learning. We sought out a tutoring service to identify gaps in the children’s skill sets as well as one that offers advanced material to challenge them in areas where they were performing above grade level. I recommend them highly!
Christy Pettit, ParentGd 3 son
Up 2 full grade levels in reading in the past 7 months
Our son has moved up 2 full grade levels in reading in the past 7 months thanks in large part to the tutoring and mentorship we’ve received from Fiona. With such a wealth of experience, Fiona is able to assess a child and determine quickly what approach will work for the child and for the family. Highly recommended.

I gained entrance to my US college of choice. Online tutoring has been a huge support
I am preparing in China for university studies in the United States as an international student. My Deliberate U tutor meets with me online with ‘zoom’ software-that enables us to share a tablet and video and both can annotate the same screen for very effective learning. This has been a huge support-success in entrance to US college.

Joining Deliberate-U was the best academic decision I made. I made honour roll in grades 11 and 12, which is something I would not have achieved on my own.
I was a struggling shy student who did not know when to ask for help. . With just a few lessons I felt comfortable working and discussing problems I was having at school. Every time I left my session, I went home knowing and understanding my class material. Now, I am in College and getting high eighties and nineties in most of my courses. I made honour role in grades 11 and 12, which is something I would not have achieved on my own. Joining Deliberate-U was the best academic decision I made and I highly recommend this tutoring service."

Strengthened his fundamental skills, his self-confidence and his enjoyment of school
My son had learning disabilities. He was struggling in school , he was discouraged and frustrated. Fiona recommended a return to basics to strengthen his fundamental phonics, spelling and math skills. Since then, spelling has improved more than 3 grade levels and in his most recent report card his Language Arts teacher commented that he … “has mastered reading and writing skills that identify him as an effective communicator!” His self-confidence his improved tremendously along with his enjoyment of school. Fiona has a gentle and patient approach to teaching that puts her students at ease. She tailors her tutoring style to suit the needs of the student (my son is a visual learner) and ensures sessions are fun and interesting. We are very grateful for everything Fiona has done to help our son.

She is now going into Grade 12 university level math and we couldn't be happier.
My daughter has been working with Fiona and her team at DeliberateU since grade 9. She is now going into Grade 12 university level math and we couldn't be happier. Great communication after each session and follow up after tests. Thanks for everything. We would highly recommend DeliberateU.

DeliberateU helped me succeed in the courses I had struggled with forever and they are the reason I was on honour roll in grades 11 and 12.

Customized reports with reinforcement addressing learning gaps brought steady progress and results.
A comprehensive tutoring service. Fiona and her tutors are knowledgeable, current and child friendly. The weekly reports and reinforcement have helped us to focus in on areas of need. A highly valuable service for students of all age.

"I got an A. Maybe I can get another?!“
..and she did...Honour roll every year.
I have seen an improvement in both grades and willingness to learn since my daughter has started tutoring with Fiona. Fiona takes the time to teach to my daughter by using her interests to keep her motivated. Theresa, parent.
