Find A Tutor Canada

Canada Revenue announced a new individual tax credit for parents of children enrolled in arts programs. Eligible programs also include cultural and academic programs, such as learning another language and tutoring.

Requirements for eligible programs and issuing receipts to claim the benefit are available on the Canada Revenue Agency web page:

The move of findAtutor.ca to a new hosting environment went quite smoothly. The new environment should be faster, and we will be implementing some new features on the website in the coming weeks.

There are some changes to the underlying software and settings, so although we have tested it extensively, there may be some issues with the new hosting. If you see anything wrong make sure that you inform an admin as soon as possible.

The findAtutor.ca website will be temporarily unavailable late in the day of Wednesday August 10th, through to early morning Thursday August 11th. We will be moving to a new (Canadian!) hosting computer and updating some features on the website.

We will post an update on the front page once everything is completed.

We were doing some work on findAtutor.ca, and renewal reminder e-mails were sent to most tutors by mistake. It's likely that your listing is NOT due for renewal.

Please be assured that the listing time paid for has not been changed. You can check the actual expiry date of your listing by logging in to your account. Your listing's expire date is listed in the status box below your listing(s).

We apologize for the confusion this may have caused.

For the second year in a row findAtutor.ca will be entering a team in the Science Fair Fun Run. The 2011 Fun Run is on Sunday May 29, 2011 in Vancouver, BC. Thanks to Daya Harris and Bill McGuire for joining our team last year. We hope to have more people join us this year!

This is a fundraising event to support the Science Fair Foundation of BC. The Science Fair Foundation of British Columbia is a not-for-profit charitable society committed to the promotion and development of Science Fair Programs in the province.

CanWest News Service ran an article about tutoring in most of their major newspapers across Canada on November 27th. The findAtutor.ca web site was mentioned in the article.

You can read the whole article on the the Province page. In addition to Vancouver, the article ran in Victoria, Regina, Saskatoon, Ottawa and Halifax. Some of the tutors quoted in the articles have listings on findAtutor.ca!

Tutors from anywhere in Canada can list on findAtutor.ca. See the tutor's page for information on how to add your listing. Parents and tutors can search our list of private tutors and tutoring companies using the search fields available at the top of every page of the findAtutor.ca web site.

Access to accounts should work now. However, this is just a temporary fix, as an update needs to be made. If you ever encounter an "access denied" problem, please contact the administrator.

The web page was updated on the evening of December 16th, and now it seems that anyone trying to edit their listing gets an "access denied" error.

We are working on correcting it, please check back later. Sorry for any inconvenience.

For awhile PayPal wasn't working when using the Chrome Browser. This has been fixed now.

If you ever encounter an error or something not working correctly on findAtutor.ca, please contact us to let us know.

The website software has undergone a significant upgrade. Although we did test the software extensively before the upgrade, it is inevitable that there will be some problems. Please let us know if you come across any problems.
