Excellent Tutoring
HYC has worked very well for our family. Saloni has been an exceptional tutor. She has built a great relationship with both my children but is also firm with them (which I appreciate) and really wants to see them do well. It’s a fine line to walk between caring and getting results but Saloni does this very well.

Dear Elisabeth,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for the wonderful 5-star rating! We are delighted to hear that Hack Your Course has been such a positive fit for your family and that Saloni has built such a strong, effective relationship with both of your children.
You pinpointed something incredibly important in your review: the "fine line to walk between caring and getting results." In our management philosophy, we actually have a specific name for this balance: Radical Candor. It is the ability to "Care Personally" while "Challenging Directly". We believe that true mentorship isn't about just being nice (which can lead to a lack of progress) or just being strict (which creates anxiety). It is about building enough trust so that a student knows we are in their corner, which earns us the right to push them toward their highest potential.
While Saloni is indeed an exceptional tutor, this specific balance is not accidental. It is a core standard of our organization. Unlike generic global tutoring marketplaces that connect students with unvetted tutors from all over the world, Hack Your Course operates differently. We are proud to be Canada’s first tutoring service dedicated specifically to the IB program, established in 2015.
We made a strategic decision early on not to be a "jack-of-all-trades" global company. Instead, we remain laser-focused on North America, specifically serving families in Vancouver, Toronto, and Washington. This regional specialization means we don't just know the subject matter; we understand the local schools, the specific IB pressures your children face, and the university requirements in this part of the world. We equip our team—Saloni included—with the resources and structural support to ensure they can deliver that perfect blend of firmness and care.
This commitment to consistency and local expertise is why we have earned more than 190 glowing 5-star reviews across our locations. We are proud that your family’s experience contributes to this track record.

Thank you again, Elisabeth, for entrusting us with your children's education. We look forward to seeing them continue to thrive!
