Schools & Tutors in Richmond Hill

Ontario College of Health & Technology educates its students to herald a healthier and safer tomorrow. Through programs that focus on disciplines as diverse as massage therapy and private investigation, the private career college readies pupils for long-term success in their chosen field. Yet the school expands its scope beyond career tracks, offering the casual learner an arsenal of new skills. The culinary department, for example, takes two forms: by day, Red Seal–certified cooking instructors train full-time students to become chefs in restaurants and hotels, but by night, they oversee proteges' first steps into the kitchen or second steps back into the kitchen after realizing they left their headlights on. In comprehensive workshops, students learn to properly sauté, simmer, and bake dishes so that they can treat their family to a nice meal or throw a fitting party for a foodie friend.

Curling is in Chad McMullan’s blood. After spending his childhood Sundays watching his parents compete at their favourite Winnipeg rink, Chad carried on the family tradition, notching victories in multiple World Curling Tour outings, two appearances in Canadian national championships, and one imaginary sleepover with the Governor-General over the course of his career. After stints as Executive Director of the World Curling Tour and World Curling Players' Association, Chad brought his icy know-how to Rock Solid Productions, which applies curling’s fundamental team-building qualities to everything from business retreats to beginner’s lessons. The group’s in-school training program introduces curling to 100,000 students each year, helping Chad share his childhood love of the game with the next generation of competitors.

Though its main draws include sprawling, verdant grounds and a sand-bottom stadium ring, Raynham Stables is well equipped to serve equestrian offerings all year long. Two expansive indoor riding arenas beckon cold-weather guests to perch atop gentle, reliable horses well trained in the ways of trotting, jumping, galloping, and saying nay to performance-enhancing carrots. Working closely with his experienced staff, Equine Canada Level 3 coach Lindsay Mahon takes the reins of the establishment and its lessons, which encourage students to develop into confident competitors and show-team riders.

Raynham Stables also offers pony parties for ages 4–adult with optional add-ons such as horse-themed goodie bags and craft sessions. Summer camps and year-long riding lessons coach riders on trotting, dressage, cross-country riding, and jumps of various heights.

At National Training Centers, instructors tackle the difficult task of improving athletes' hockey game without any ice. Instead, they train the body to perform better in the rink, with balance yoga classes dedicated to improving leg flexibility and core strength. Instructors help players hone their stride and endurance with skating-technique-based treadmill classes. All of their training focuses on the essential attributes of an ice-rink athlete: core strength, agility, power, speed, and the ability to walk on frozen water.
