Online tutors in Calgary
Heights International Academy teaches Calgary students live online, one-to-one or in small groups, for AP, IB and University subjects. Classes are scheduled in Eastern Time (EST/EDT); western cities shown in local time, after school and at weekends, fees are shown in CAD, and the first class is free.
Calgary students follow the Alberta programme of studies towards the Alberta High School Diploma, with diploma exams in key Grade 12 courses such as Math 30-1, Chemistry 30 and English 30-1. A number of Calgary high schools also offer AP or the IB Diploma. The city covers a large area, and winter driving to an after-school tutor is not always practical. Online tutoring keeps lessons going whatever the weather, scheduled in Mountain Time, two hours behind Toronto.

How much does a tutor cost in Calgary?
Tutor costs in Calgary depend on subject, grade, tutor experience and format. Our own fees are listed in CAD on our pricing page and cover live online lessons, with no driving needed in winter weather. AP and IB lessons are priced at a higher tier than Grade 10 courses.
Can you support AP and IB students in Calgary?
Yes, we support Calgary students in AP courses such as Calculus, Physics and Chemistry, and in IB Diploma subjects, internal assessments and the extended essay. Tutors follow the College Board frameworks or IB subject guides. Tell us your courses and exam dates, and we will plan lessons around them.
Is online tutoring better than an in-home tutor in Calgary?
Online tutoring is often more practical than an in-home tutor in Calgary, avoiding winter driving and giving access to a wider choice of specialists. An in-home tutor offers in-person supervision for children who need it. We teach online only and do not provide home visits.
