Sign up for Tutoring

Use the button below if you are a student who would like to sign up for tutoring! We will reach out directly to everyone who signs up. If you have already signed up for Northern Compass and would like to access a tutoring session, please email NorthernCompass@nya.ca.

Sign Up

Who is it for?

Any student in high school or post-secondary (college, university, upgrading, or trades) from Nunavut, the NWT or Yukon can sign up for tutoring! You do not have to be currently living in your home community to access tutoring.

How does it work?

Students who sign up will be paired directly with a Northern Compass tutor. After our staff connects a student with their tutor, students will be able to make an appointment or set up regular appointments for 30 minute or 1 hour time slots. We can also set up group sessions, or students can access drop-in times with a tutor.

Sessions are virtual, and are free to students – the costs of tutors are covered by Northern Compass and NYA. We just ask that students show up to the times that they commit to, and to let us know in advance if they can’t make a session.

Sessions can be over video chat, phone call, email, messenger, texting – let us know what works best for you!

What things can a tutor help with?

These are some examples of what we can help with, but if you have anything you need that isn’t on this list, let us know!

• Help with class material
• Understanding course content
• Specific questions
• Editing or helping with assignments
• Study skills and tips
• Exam preparation and test-taking skills
• Time management
• Organization and task managing
• Managing stress

How do you join?

Use the sign-up button above to let us know your contact info and areas you think you might need help with (even if you aren’t sure what you need). We will get in touch with you to set up times for a session.
