Testimonials

Alefiya from Toronto

“The online sessions have been a great way to not only keep Idris connected to his teacher but also ensure that he’s not losing what he’s already learned and is able to learn new things as well. As working parents we were so happy and delighted to have these sessions because we were worried we weren’t able to do enough for him. Every little bit helps and we are really grateful for it!”

Sofia from Switzerland

I work in education and I am passionate about Montessori style even if I am also open to other pedagogies. I have done an exhaustive search to find some tailored programs for my son, considering that I would be working from home and would like to give him fun learning experiences and activities, but none matched my expectations until I found MFMS. We joined the virtual program when Bjorn was 14 months and since then I have been a great fan to the programs but in particular to the tailored activities and care provided by the team and educators. He is now 32 months and we plan to continue with the virtual MFMS in a long term.

Delana T.

Awesome Montessori Experience for my 2yr old Child. She looks forward to her class every week and ensures I remember also! I was in Montessori as a child and remember the academic and practical benefits I received so knowing my child is able to experience Montessori virtually has been great! As a mother of a toddler and baby it gets pretty busy. We appreciate Ms. Katelyn’s patience and lovely personality, her knowledge and methods has made the virtual learning enjoyable. Thank you Ms. Katelyn and MFM!

Why Choose My First Reading Tutor?

My First Reading Tutor is operated by our brick and mortar Montessori school (My First Montessori School) in Toronto, Ontario. We have been offering virtual classes for several years now (MFMS Online) and have adapted our curriculum to be extremely effective online. Our students show success in all areas of their academic journey, and come from countries all over the world.

Fee Details

Payments must be made prior to booking into our learning pods. All payments are processed through our booking portal.

How Involved Do I Need To Be?

In our experience, most children over the age of three require very little assistance, provided the weekly materials are ready for their use at the start of class.

Gathering these materials should take no longer than 5 minutes/week.

Is Your School Accredited?

MFMS Online (My First Montessori School) is validated by the Ministry of Education in the Province of Ontario, Canada to provide a private school education for children K-8. Our Ontario Board School Identification Number (BSID) is 668664. The Montessori philosophy is a globally recognized learning methodology.

Our brick and mortar school is a licensed childcare center in the province of Ontario. Our Virtual Toddler and Casa programs follow the same philosophy and curriculum as our brick and mortar school does.

What Are The Learning Pod Sizes?

Our learning pods consist of small groups of 4. This allows our teachers to provide each child with individualized attention, while also maintaining the same benefits your child would recieve working in a large classroom setting, like the ability to socialize and learn from their peers.

How Do I Get Started?

Get started today by visiting our scheduler above and reserving your seat. Spaces are limited!

Is Virtual Learning Safe?

Yes, all of our virtual classrooms and private tutoring sessions take place through Zoom and are secure, encrypted, locked, and password-protected.

All parent communication will be done via email or our private platform Montessi to provide weekly schedules/calendars, list of materials needed for the scheduled activities, parent correspondence.

All of our instructors are subject to rigorous reference and police vulnerable sector checks.

We also have policies in place to keep class safe:

Video must be turned on with appropriate name labelling
Any family member that is present must be accompanied by an enrolled student (if either of the above are not met, we remove the person from the meeting)
Families are screened for security compliance each day in our virtual office prior to joining our virtual sessions

Will My Child Pay Attention?

95% of our students are able to comfortably sit and engage throughout the class on their own after their first class, provided they are comfortable with navigating through zoom and have all of the necessary classroom materials prepared for them in advance.

I Dont Think My Child Will Sit Still

We understand that every child is different, and some are more active than others, therefore we ensure that our subjects are designed in a way to capture their attention and regularly challenge them.

Our teachers are very well versed with teaching online and at maintaining conversations with your child and the other students in order to keep their attention.

Lower elementary students may have longer subject periods, however the above noted principles still apply.

What Are Your Teachers Credentials?

All of our Montessori teachers are MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education) certified, with both extensive in-person and online teaching experience.

Do You Record The Classes?

No. We have a strict safety policy to not record our children, which aligns with the philosophy that we apply to our brick and mortar school. If we were to record, we would first get the express consent from all parents.

Disclaimer

If your child is not in school, and you intend to homeschool him or her, you may not use Learning Pods as a proof of enrolment for your local school board. This program is not, and does not represent itself to be a replacement for full-time schooling for your child.

This learning pod program is only intended to be used as an aid to boost your child’s learning, and does not serve as a replacement to your child being enrolled in school.
