 Summer School is just winding down. Everyone is enjoying their summer. Academic Advantage is busy interviewing and screening BC certified teachers. We interview them, collect their references, verify their teaching credentials and make sure that they have a clear criminal record. We will be ready for the big rush in September.

Booking a tutor early is a good idea
Our popular tutors get booked quickly. If you worked with one of our tutors last year and want them back please call us in August to make sure that you can secure a spot in their time schedule.

Back To School Joke
Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son.
'Wake up, son. It's time to go to school'
'But why, Mom? I don't want to go.'
'Give me two reasons why you don't want to go.'

'Well, for one, you're 52 years old. And for another, you're the Head teacher!'
