Miss Purple Tutoring Steps Up Amid Edmonton Teachers’ Strike
Edmonton, AB — As Edmonton and the rest of Alberta brace for the impact of a province-wide teachers’ strike, Miss Purple Tutoring is stepping into the gap — offering support, structure, and continued learning for students during a period of uncertainty.
The Strike: What’s Happening
-
The Alberta Teachers’ Association has issued strike notice, with labour action set to begin October 6, 2025, unless a new contract agreement is reached.
-
The dispute centers on demands for higher pay, smaller class sizes, and greater investment in classroom supports. The strike would affect over 730,000 students across more than 2,500 public, separate, and francophone schools.
-
Until a ratified agreement is in place, schools may be closed, extracurriculars paused, and regular class instruction disrupted.
In the face of this disruption, families are scrambling to find alternative educational support. Some charter schools have already seen increased interest from parents seeking stability.
What Miss Purple Tutoring Offers During the Strike
Miss Purple Tutoring, which provides Math and English tutoring for grades K–8 ( virtual) is positioning itself as a resource for families navigating this turbulent time. Here’s how Miss Purple can help:
-
Learning Continuity
Even when classroom instruction halts, learning doesn’t have to. Tutoring can help students maintain momentum, reinforce prior learning, and keep on track. -
Custom Support & Flexibility
With one-on-one or small-group sessions, Miss Purple can tailor lessons to each student’s gaps and strengths — something especially valuable when students may regress without classroom structure. -
Bridging Gaps Quickly
Tutors can identify areas of decline (e.g. in numeracy, reading comprehension) and work intensively to shore them up before the strike’s end. -
Emotional & Motivational Support
Extended disruption can be tough for students — having consistent, encouraging adult support helps reduce anxiety and keeps them engaged. -
Hybrid Access
For families who prefer or need remote options, the virtual tutoring alternative ensures students across Edmonton (or beyond) can benefit. -
Scheduling Around Uncertainty
Miss Purple can adjust session frequencies and lengths to match how long the strike lasts, helping families avoid overcommitting financially up front.
A Call to Families & Community
The strike isn’t just about wages; it’s also a battle for investing in better learning environments in Alberta’s classrooms. But in the meantime, parents and guardians need practical solutions to ensure their children’s education doesn’t stall.
Miss Purple Tutoring offers:
-
A dependable alternative during school closures
-
Personalized, focused instruction
