What Our Community Says
I’ve always been worried about how to apply to college, but the mentoring program helped me figure out my options. Sam is amazing. He showed me how to write a good resume and gave me tips for my first job interview. Now, I’m applying with confidence and actually feel ready to take the next step.
Chemistry was always super confusing for me, and I thought id fail. nicole, showed me different ways to understand the material and it finally made sense. my grade actually went up 14 and I feel a lot more confident now. thank u thank u thank u
I used to be really stressed about MCR3U, but the tutors at EqualStart actually made it click for me. Now, I’m doing better on tests, and my teacher even noticed. I’m not scared of math anymore and can even help some of my friends now, too!
My son was struggling to keep up in school, especially with math, and it was starting to affect his confidence. After joining EqualStart's tutoring program, we saw a big improvement not just in his grades but in his attitude towards learning. He actually enjoys studying now and doesn’t dread his math class. We’re incredibly grateful for the support.
My daughter is the first in our family to apply to college, and we didn’t know where to start. The workshops and mentoring at EqualStart guided her (and us!) through every step. From financial aid tips to application deadlines, they took the stress out of the process. Now, she’s ready to start college in the fall, and we couldn’t have done it without EqualStart’s support.
Applying to university seemed impossible and I didn’t know where to start. Unlike my school guidance counsellor, Sarah helped me with every part from writing my essays to organizing deadlines. She even reviewed my application! I feel like EqualStart gave me a real shot at university.
I’ve been to other tutoring centres but this place is different somehow. The tutors here are friendly and explain things in a way that actually makes sense, especially Justin. I’m more confident in my classes, and my grades have really gone up. Plus, they really care about us doing well.
When I got matched with my mentor, I wasn’t expecting much but he’s been amazing. He’s helped me with career ideas, gave me pointers on job applications, and even helped me figure out what classes I should take next year. It’s like having someone who’s already been through it to help guide me.
I didn’t think much about my future or how I could get to college, but EqualStart really changed that for me. Their uni prep sessions made it all seem real, and now I actually have a plan. I’m the first in my family to apply to college, and I feel like I can actually do it.
I always felt shy about asking for help with my writing assignments, but Lily never made me feel judged. They’re all super patient and gave me tips to make my essays better. I’m a stronger writer now, and my grades are showing it.
This year, I felt more prepared than ever for Grade 12 because of the summer tutoring I got at EqualStart. The tutors were all so nice and went over the basics with me. For once I didn’t feel lost on the first day like last year. Now I know I can handle this year way better.
