SUCCESS STORIES
"Polaris Learning Centre has been the best option for my son. Their flexible schedule allows my son to play hockey and take a credit course. Something that wasn't possible with other learning centers."
"My daughter always had trouble with math. It just wasn't her strong subject. Polaris Learning Centre gave my daughter the opportunity to learn math at the pace she needed and a chance to do well in a subject she dreaded. The tutor helped her with the lessons she was learning in the classroom of her home school. Thank you for all your help!"
"My son needed a Grade 12 biology credit. His teacher at his school was ineffective in her teaching and there were too many kids in his class. Polaris Learning Centre matched my son with an excellent teacher and the one-on-one teaching was exactly what he needed for such a dense course. He is now attending his first year at the University of Toronto in the Life Sciences program. We are so proud of him. Thank you Polaris!"
