About Robert
My name is Mr. Rob Kooy, and I have been a secondary school teacher for 34 years, in both the private and public systems of Ontario and BC. I currently teach Indigenous Studies, History, Civics, and Careers at Collingwood Collegiate Institute. I have taught many other courses as well, ranging from the Social Sciences to English to Student Success, Learning Strategies, and Credit Recovery. I also help coordinate and manage the tech hardware at my school, and help both students and colleagues overcome online software and hardware challenges. I hold Specialist qualifications in Teaching E-Learning, History, and Indigenous Studies. I love teaching, and get energized by empowering young people to discover their strengths, overcome their obstacles, and thrive as lifelong learners. I believe learning is a dynamic partnership between student, teacher, and home.

The next step is to break down each obstacle into manageable parts, and then turn these into learning opportunities. The past few years have introduced some new and extreme learning challenges to many students, which may contribute to you seeking help for your child at this time. #2 Often students do not reach full potential because of learned failure Negative thought patterns tend to derail us. In many cases, slowing down and dismantling these thought patterns can prepare the student to experience a new direction, enabling them to be open to new learning skills. It’s all about changing direction and leaving false narratives behind. The bottom line is that students all learn differently, many have learning exceptionalities, and some need to be given new, “outside the box” opportunities to be successful. #3 Successful learning requires scaffolding While subjects and courses vary, there are several universal components of learning. Scaffolding in particular refers to breaking down a process into manageable steps, and building knowledge out and up. We leverage what we know to tackle what we don’t know. Successful learners do not rush; they plan, are purposeful and methodical, and get results. Without scaffolding, it is very difficult to learn and retain skills and knowledge. #4 Tutoring excellence requires online teaching expertise As an early practitioner of online teaching/learning, I have provided online teaching, learning and D2L training for staff for the past 8 years, and have also managed and expanded Chromebook access to maximize online learning at my school. I believe that online learning provides excellent learning opportunities, but also potential for difficulty and disengagement. My extensive online teaching experience (D2L, Google Classroom, multiple apps) enables me to help identify both subject and platform obstacles to success. It’s no longer enough to be a Math, Science, or English tutor without also possessing online platform skills. You should expect these dual troubleshooting skills as you consider the ideal tutor for your child. #5 Tutoring excellence requires face-to-face teaching expertise Today, students find themselves facing a variety of teaching styles and platforms, more so than when we as parents were in school. Then the school experience was typically limited to a classroom, desks, textbooks, pen, paper, lecture and copying notes (hopefully with some variation!) Face-to-face learning today has some of these components, but technology is embedded in the student experience. This has created plenty of challenges and opportunities, and coincides with the prevalence of smartphone use and misuse. In my school classroom, I strive to build an interactive learning space that starts with device self-regulation, to allow for a vibrant learning community that prioritizes communication and skill building. I also create class profiles so I get to know students' learning styles and IEP exceptionalities quickly. In addition, I contact home often and early. This diverse classroom expertise is crucial as you choose the right tutor for your child.ervices

My son is in grade 6 and has struggled with Math and Language; as a result he was distracted in class and often off-task. We found Kooy Tutoring with a quick Google search in our area. Rob’s free 30 minute consult was very helpful and gave us confidence that he was the ideal tutor for our son. Rob’s great with him, and helped him to improve his math and language skills; his report card improved considerably and he’s now much more confident in working with numbers! Rob was also able to seamlessly and sometimes last-minute switch to online, and offer the same full tutoring experience with the great online tools he uses. (This was super helpful with our crazy winter!)
I’d highly recommend Kooy Tutoring Services!
Robert is not only trustworthy, he is kind, compassionate and truly a great teacher. As a previous student of Robert, I know first hand how much he invests in his youth and how much he wants to see everyone succeed in their goals. If not for him, I would not have the passion for knowledge that I have currently.
I highly recommended Robert, he is so passionate about his teaching, his interest keeps his students interested and excited to learn. Not to mention, he’s easy to contact and a great understanding person to talk to!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Rob for the last several years. Rob is a caring educator, who strives to teach his students knowledge and skills needed for the classroom and beyond. He uses a variety of instructional and assessment practices to ensure all students have the opportunity for success. His tech skills and knowledge help equip our students with the digital skills for society. Rob’s a dedicated, and motivated secondary teacher who is committed to student learning and achievement through cross-curricular activities and authentic learning opportunities. Rob provides his students with one-to-one instruction, implementing their IEPs and ensuring they have the appropriate supports and strategies in place. He establishes positive relationships with students and the school community. Rob continues to be engaged in professional development and collaborative learning to broaden his knowledge and skills. Rob is truly an amazing teacher.
Robert is a caring, involved educator who enjoys having students use critical thinking and strategies to improve their knowledge and thinking skills. He is the first one to find a new and improved way to deliver information as well as sticking to the old "tested and true" to support student learning.

Rob is one of the best, most innovative teachers, I have ever had the honour of working with. He inspires his students, through the use of technology, and collaborative techniques, to take the responsibility needed, to master the content they are learning. Staff and students alike appreciate his kind and empathetic style of teaching to each students’ unique and varying learning styles. A true leader in Ontario’s education system.
