A criminal record check will be obligatory as is an ability to commit to the team for at least one year.

Hi everyone,

Anyone here, or does anyone have any recommendations for a good special needs math tutor for grade 3? We’d like someone who specializes in math, as we already have a wonderful English tutor.

We’re close to the Sapperton Skytrain station in New Westminster, and would like tutoring once, maybe twice a week.

Thanks!
