Parents and Students Feedback
“ I thought I was an average language student who wouldn't need help when I entered High school. Then I started to struggle in Gr 10 English so my parents decided to bring me here. KCEE prepared and taught me writing techniques that I would not be learning from school. Now, my English mark is one of the highest among the class. Thank you KCEE! I hope I will keep up the marks for the next two years under your guidance!”
~ A KCEE Gr 10 English Student from Markham District High School

Frequently Ask Questions
Who develop and teach in this program?
KCEE has over 30 years of experience in private education. All lessons are designed and developed in-house by the owners, who have extensive experience teaching the Ontario curriculum.Our teachers are not only deeply knowledgeable, but also highly experienced in delivering real academic results. They specialize in identifying where students lose marks, strengthening fundamentals, and building the consistency needed for high performance. Through structured teaching and proven methods developed over decades, they have consistently helped students improve from failing levels to the 80s, and also elevate strong students from the mid-90s to 100.
How are students grouped in classes?
Students are placed in small groups based on grade level and proficiency, typically determined through a placement test. This ensures that students learn at a similar pace while still receiving individual guidance within the group.How is KCEE different from private tutoring?
KCEE is not a traditional tutoring service.Rather than focusing only on reviewing homework after difficulties arise, our programs are designed as structured pre-learning and academic acceleration. Students build a strong foundation, learn concepts ahead of school, and develop the skills needed to perform consistently at a high level.
This approach enables students not only to improve, but to sustain strong academic results over time.
Do you help with school homework and tests?
Yes. We support students with their current school topics and questions.At the same time, our focus is on strengthening understanding and preparing students ahead, so they can approach homework, quizzes, and tests with confidence and accuracy.
How soon can we expect to see improvement?
Improvement depends on the student’s starting point and consistency.Many students begin to see progress within a few weeks as they become more familiar with concepts and expectations. With continued attendance, students typically achieve more stable and measurable improvement over a full learning cycle.
Is this program suitable for students who are already doing well?
Yes. Many of our students already achieve strong academic results.Our program is designed to help these students refine their understanding, improve accuracy, and handle more advanced questions — often enabling them to move from the mid-90s to the highest level of performance.
Can I still join after the program has started?
Yes. Students are welcome to join ongoing classes.We will assess the student’s level and ensure appropriate placement so they can integrate smoothly into the program.
What if the class schedule does not work for me?

Does KCEE offer a free trial class?
KCEE does not offer trial classes.Our programs follow a structured curriculum where each lesson builds on the previous one. A single class would not reflect the overall learning experience or the results students achieve over time. We recommend enrolling in a cycle of at least 4 classes to properly experience the teaching style, pacing, and learning outcomes.
We are happy to provide a free placement test to ensure the class level and approach are suitable.
Does KCEE offer any discount such as loyalty, sibling or referral?
KCEE does not offer discounts.Our focus is on delivering consistent quality and results to all students. Maintaining a standard fee structure ensures fairness and consistency across all programs.
