Testimonials – Forest Hill

"FHT was so helpful when we were applying for private schools with our kids. We actually worked with them twice, once for our daughter and then again for our oldest son two years later and both times they were great! They really do run a full-service shop and can help with entrance tests, application forms, essays – you name it. My two kids both loved their tutors and really felt supported throughout the process. Thank you, FHT!"

Mother of two FHT private school prep students

"The Director and staff are 100% invested in Forest Hill Tutoring. The agency is run as a professional business, but at the same time everyone cares deeply about the students. FHT carefully matches tutors with students, giving due consideration to personality, fit and skill set. My children had a very positive experience (in spite of the fact that they were studying!) and I have often recommended FHT to others."

"I took functions last summer at Forest Hill and I’d highly recommend them. I found grade 10 math pretty hard, so I needed a lot of extra help to earn good marks for university. Overall, it was a great experience – good teacher, pretty flexible, lots of personal attention."

"I’ve been a regular for years now and always get great tutors who are comfortable with my IB subjects, especially math and sciences. If you need extra help in the IB, I’d for sure give them a call."

IB2 student at The York School

"My wife and I love the tutors at Forest Hill Tutoring. My son has been attending for several years and actually looks forward to going to his tutoring sessions. He benefits from the tutor’s caring and disciplined approach and the sessions help build his confidence. We also appreciate the hands-on and personalized attention. Recently, we asked FHT to give our child an assessment in English and Math and we’re sitting down together — tutor, son and parents — to compare with his school report card as we set the agenda for the coming year. We were recommended to Forest Hill Tutoring by friends and family. In fact, we’re now on our second generation of attending."

"Our family has used Forest Hill Tutoring for the past couple of years for both subject specific support (grades 7 through 11) as well as general organizational/overview support. I have found FHT to be incredibly helpful, accommodating of our various schedules, quick to respond and understanding of my requests and concerns as a parent. FHT understands the type of service busy families need and works hard to deliver it. FHT also appreciates the role that different personalities play in how students fit with individual tutors and that a strong connection is necessary for success. I highly recommend Forest Hill Tutoring to any family looking for academic support."

"I can’t say enough about this place. As a teacher myself, it can be hard to please me when it comes to education for my girls. We have been using Forest Hill Tutoring for a few years now and I am always so blown away by Shari’s ability to match my kids with the right tutor. What kid wants to go to school after a day of school? None! That’s why it’s so important to find a fit for your child that makes it feels as though it’s not school, but rather a fun academic experience. Shari has always delivered on this with her amazing tutors. I always find myself writing to Shari to tell her how amazing her tutors are. Forest Hill Tutoring not only provides my girls with fun and engaging tutors, but has also helped to improve their writing and math skills in order to keep up with a rigorous IB program at school. Thanks Forest Hill Tutoring."

"The tutors at FHT helped me with my final exams. I did extremely well and probably wouldn't have been so successful without their help. I scored a 90% on my science exam - a 40% increase from the previous year :)"

Grade 11 Branksome student

"Forest Hill Tutoring has been a wonderful addition to our daughter’s education. Like many children, Olivia had fallen behind during the pandemic, especially in reading and writing. Shari worked very hard to choose an excellent tutor for Olivia who has helped her come a long way in only a few short months. This agency is a fantastic resource for families!"

Parents of a Grade 4 Brown Junior Public School student

"I appreciate how quickly FHT personally follows up if we ever need to change or add a session. They always take the initiative to call me if our preferred tutor is not available on a particular day and to offer an alternate appointment.  A special thank you to my two favourite tutors for helping my daughter get through grade 12!!! Here we come, Ivey!"

"I like going to Forest Hill for tutoring. My tutors are all very nice and help me understand difficult things, especially in math. I can study something in school and then ask my tutor questions about anything I didn’t understand. I now do much better in math and I’m not so nervous for tests. They also have great snacks."

"Deciding to seek help and support from Forest Hill Tutoring was a great decision! I have become a better writer and my academic confidence significantly improved when composing essays. The staff were highly dedicated to my learning and the service was top-notch. Thank you, FHT!"

Grade 12 Crescent School student

"I am a Grade 10 student at a Toronto public school and I chose to take Grade 11 Math at Forest Hill Tutoring to get ahead for next year. I have found the learning environment to be supportive and have made a great connection with my teacher. I am able to study at my own pace and according to my own schedule and believe I am learning the material better than if I had taken the course at my high school. I would highly recommend Forest Hill Tutoring to any student."

"From French to English to Math -  I've been going to Forest Hill Tutoring for extra help for over 6 years. Without their amazing tutors, I don't think I could've gotten into the university of my choice."

Catherine, Grade 12 Northern Secondary School student

"When I started my SSAT tutoring at Forest Hill, I was very nervous but my tutor helped me become more confident. I improved a lot in reading and math and this helped me do well on the test. I also felt much more prepared when I actually began attending my private school."

"I came to Forest Hill Tutoring so overwhelmed by my son’s application process to private school. The staff and tutors were very patient and helped us through all the steps, including the online forms and the essay statements and interviews. I do not think we would have been so successful without their help. Thank you for a wonderful service!"

"Forest Hill Tutoring has always been a place that I can count on. I have been using Forest Hill Tutoring’s services since I was in Junior Kindergarten. Currently I am 22 years old and still reach out to Forest Hill Tutoring for any area that I need help in. Whether it is FHT math and English tutors, or their amazing writing/editing services, FHT provides productive while at the same time engaging sessions. I will be beginning my Master of Business Administration (MBA) this year and I know FHT will continue to support me throughout my next educational chapter. Finally, FHT is extremely organized and accommodating and has adapted extremely well to new normal that incorporates virtual learning. Thank you so much for everything over the years!"
