Educational Background, Experience, and Class Types Offered

My name is David Brodsky. I have a Bachelor of Arts (4 yr program) in Psychology from York University, and I've been tutoring English classes part time under the name English Tutor Toronto since 2014. I provide several types of English classes:

Availability & Scheduling

I am available every day between the hours of noon to 8pm for classes. Classes are scheduled based on mutual availability each time (when we both have time).

Homework Policy

I try and provide students with at least 3 hours of unique homework to complete in-between our classes. I ask that students complete this homework or spend at least 3 hours attempting it before scheduling the next class.

In-Person & Online Classes (Locations and Software)

For online classes, I use Google Meet, and I ask that students have a Gmail address for Google Docs note sharing, so that they can access class notes, and homework.

For in-person classes, there are two ideal options: study rooms at North York Central library (5120 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, M2N 5N9) or your home/place of business (I work all over the Greater Toronto Area). Libraries or coffee shops near your home are also an option but not an ideal one due to noise and study room scheduling difficulties that may come up.

Group and Private Classes

Private classes: one on one private classes

2-people group classes: ask regarding availability (these are only available if the student comes with a 2nd person or if existing students agree to allow a 2nd student to join them).
