Same room. Same time. Different work. Individual support.

A Keats Monthly Membership class is semi-private. Every 4 to 6 students share one tutor and one tutor assistant, and each student works on their own math or English.

No shared lesson. Every student can be working on something different.

Meanwhile, every other student keeps working on their own.

What they work on

Their own math or English, every class.

In every Keats Monthly Membership class, students get homework help and BC curriculum practice on their own school homework, school material or Keats booklets.

  1. 01

    School homework

    Bring the homework that is due and finish it with a tutor nearby, so less of it comes home.

  2. 02

    School material

    Classroom math or English your child wants to understand better.

  3. 03

    Keats booklets

    Concept-by-concept booklets on the BC curriculum, matched to where your child is.

Everything from Keats follows the BC curriculum and your child’s own written learning plan. We write that plan at the $34 Learning Plan Session, 45 minutes with a senior Keats tutor.

How a class works

Start where they’re confident. Build from there.

How a Keats Monthly Membership class works: each student starts with what they already know, a tutor teaches the next concept, the student does the questions, and the tutor checks the work.

  1. 01

    Start where they’re confident

    Each student begins with what they know, then builds up step by step.

  2. 02

    Teach, practise, check

    A tutor teaches the concept at your child’s desk, has them do the questions, then checks their work.

  3. 03

    Saved to their Keats account

    Classwork and homework are submitted to the student’s Keats account, where you and your child can both see them.

Keats booklets

Every Keats booklet follows the same four steps.

Keats booklets are practice booklets built on the BC curriculum, so the questions look like the ones your child sees at school. Each booklet teaches one concept in four steps.

For parents

A written lesson note, every week.

Once a week your child’s tutor writes to you personally, not with a checklist. You’ll know exactly what they worked on, what comes next, what homework was set and how they did.

  • What was coveredThe topics, how they were taught and how your child responded
  • What will be covered nextThe plan for next week, and your chance to weigh in
  • HomeworkWhat was assigned, or why there isn’t any
  • Closing statementAn honest summary of how your child is doing
Weekly lesson noteMath · Grade 9

What was covered

  • Math, finishing the last of the Grade 9 material in Maya’s booklet: probability and rational numbers
  • Wordy questions used to be the hardest part for Maya, so this week we did a lot of probability word problems with dice, spinners and coins. She has now seen just about every kind of question they can ask
  • I’ve been teaching her a few steps for word problems. She reads the whole question first, underlines what it’s asking, and lists every possible outcome in a table or a tree before she counts. She’s using them on her own now and doing really well
  • The best part of the class was that Maya took the lead and asked to do the questions herself. Most of the time she caught and fixed her own mistakes before I said anything. That’s a real skill, and it has come from all the practice she’s put in
  • We then did the number system and putting numbers in order. That finishes Grade 9, and it’s also the starting point for Grade 10
  • From there we started the very beginning of Grade 10: sorting numbers into rational and irrational, and how exponents and square roots can be rewritten as each other

What will be covered next

  • I asked Maya if she’d like to slow down and stay with Grade 9 a little longer, and she told me she’s ready to move on
  • So we’ll start Grade 10 and keep bringing Grade 9 material into it as we go, so nothing she has learned slips
  • If you’d rather we stay with Grade 9 for now, just reply to this note and we’ll do that
  • When her Grade 9 math starts at school in November, the school material becomes our main focus again

Homework

  • Maya asked if she could hold off on homework until math starts at school, and I’m happy with that. She’s doing so well in class that I don’t want to push it
  • So there’s no homework for now, and we’ll start it again in November

Closing statement

Word problems used to be the part Maya found hardest. This week she was taking them on by choice and fixing her own mistakes as she went.

She’s finishing Grade 9 confident and ready for her first steps into Grade 10.

Frequently asked

Questions parents ask about Keats Monthly Membership.

What is Keats Monthly Membership?

Keats Monthly Membership is semi-private, small group tutoring in math or English, for students in Kindergarten to Grade 12. Students come to Keats Learning Academy twice a week for 30 minutes. Each student works on their own school homework, school material or Keats booklets, and a tutor teaches each concept at their desk.

What does semi-private tutoring mean at Keats?

Semi-private means your child shares the room, not the lesson. One tutor and one tutor assistant work with every 4 to 6 students, and each student is taught at their own desk on their own material. Students are grouped by grade level, so far-apart grades never share a class.

How do we start, and what does the first step cost?

Every student starts with a $34 Learning Plan Session. It is 45 minutes with a senior Keats tutor, and you receive a written learning plan for your child. We then confirm your class times in writing before you decide. If your child does not need tutoring, we will tell you.

Is 30 minutes long enough?

Yes. Thirty minutes, twice a week, is designed for steady practice. In each class one concept is taught, practised and checked, and two classes a week keep the work fresh between visits.

Can my child bring their school homework?

Yes. Students can bring homework that is due, school material they want to understand better, or work from a Keats booklet matched to their level.

Does Keats Monthly Membership follow the BC curriculum?

Yes. Keats booklets are built on the BC curriculum, and every student follows their own written learning plan.

Who teaches the classes?

Keats tutors hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. Tutor assistants are Keats-trained and work alongside the tutor.

Will my child feel singled out?

No. Every student in the room is working on something different, so no one can tell who is catching up and who is working ahead.

How is Keats Monthly Membership different from Kumon or Mathnasium?

Keats is a local BC curriculum academy, not a franchise program. Your child works on their own school homework and on Keats booklets built on the BC curriculum, and a tutor teaches each concept in person at their desk.

How will I know how my child is doing?

Once a week your child’s tutor sends you a written lesson note. It covers what was taught, what comes next, the homework and how your child did. Classwork and homework are also saved to your child’s Keats account.

Where are Keats Monthly Membership classes held?

In person at both Keats centres: 1258 Lynn Valley Road, Unit 103, in North Vancouver, and 3317 West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano, Vancouver.
