Go Further · Live on Zoom · Small group
Math for students who are ready to move ahead.
One live 60-minute class a week, in a group of three to four, going through the curriculum of the grades ahead bit by bit. Everything is taught from the basics, so no earlier knowledge is assumed. It is separate from EQAO and from school marks: this is for students who want to go further.
Once a week, 60 minutes
One live 60-minute class on Zoom, the same tutor, the same small group.
$160 a month
Billed monthly. Twice a week is double ($320 a month).
Join any time
Join before a group’s third class, with a short catch-up on the unit that is under way.
Who joins which group
A student joins the group that teaches the next grade's concepts, so they are always ahead.

|---|---|---|---|
| Kindergarten | Grades 1 and 2 | Grades 3 and 4, then Grades 5 and 6, then Grades 7 and 8, then Grade 9 | Grades 1 to 9 |
| Grade 1 | Grades 1 and 2 | Grades 3 and 4, then Grades 5 and 6, then Grades 7 and 8, then Grade 9 | Grades 1 to 9 |
| Grade 2 | Grades 3 and 4 | Grades 5 and 6, then Grades 7 and 8, then Grade 9 | Grades 3 to 9 |

| Grade 7 | Grades 7 and 8 | Grade 9 | Grades 7 to 9 |
| Grade 8 | Grade 9 | The path ends at Grade 9 for now | Grade 9 |
Each idea is taught together with the next grade's extension of it, starting from the basics. For now the path ends at Grade 9 concepts.
How progress works
- The group works along a fixed path of classes, one unit at a time. A unit is a few classes on one thread of ideas.
- After each unit there is a short test (about 12 questions), and you get a summary of what is solid and what needs help.
- Every month your child also takes a short check-in on the same skills, so you can see progress over time.
- Each group keeps going up the path, band by band, and the path ends at Grade 9 concepts for now.
