The Appleby Common Academy for Mathematics & Science has been voted Burlington's # 1 Learning Centre for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, in the Burlington Post Reader's Poll.

Our tutors complete a progress report on your child after every session, with the topics covered and how your child coped with the information. We are in the practice of e-mailing those reports to the parents the next day so you will be up to date with your child's progress.

This location first opened its doors on May 26, 2006. We have helped hundreds of students to improved self confidence and higher grades.

We offer both tutorial and enrichment programs for students from Grade 1 through Grade 12. In addition, we feature specialized programs including English Essay Writing, Grade 8 to 9 Transition, and Ontario High School Credits through our association with Canada E-School.

Bruce Rippon brings over 30 years experience in training and development to the Burlington Academy. He is passionate about customer service and provides his parents with instant feedback on their child's progress by forwarding the tutor's progress reports via e-mail.

Our tutors are pre-screened for both curriculum and their ability to explain it so we never have a situation where a tutor talks over a students head. Students are asked to demonstrate their understanding by solving problems, ultimately independent of the tutor. We do not accept the nodding of a head as understanding.
