Gateway Tutoring Academy was founded by a motivated team of dreamers, skilled in Science, Mathematics, and Languages. All our Academic Mentors hold a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree from leading Canadian institutions such as the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, McGill University, and the University of Victoria in their respective areas of expertise. Many of our Academic Mentors are also BC-certified teachers.
We maintain a rigorous hiring process, selecting only the best tutors for our academy. Out of every 25 resumes we receive, only 1–2 candidates are hired. We ensure that our tutors are fluent in English, prioritizing those who completed their high school education in Canada.
At Gateway Tutoring Academy, we take pride in delivering quality services, exceptional efficiency, and the highest level of professionalism. Our team members are enthusiastic about meeting new students and working in harmony with each student’s course schedule to build confidence and achieve tangible results.
