Our Approach
Our approach to adult learning is informed by experiential and experimental knowledge and methodologies to adult teaching. Our tutors strive to give you the confidence you need to speak English or French, obtain your diploma, advance your degree, or just improve your overall knowledge in a particular field.
Individualized plans are always designed with each student in mind - that's why we meet with you first, so that we can get a better understanding of what you need to feel more confident along their learning journey.
​
It's also why every first session is free - we're so confident in our services that we don't accept any payment for the first session, letting you decide whether or not you'd like to continue with our program!
Some Examples of the areas of research that inform our programming for Adult Learning include:
Gamification, Adult Learning Best Practices, ESL Teaching Techniques, Empathy-driven approaches to learning, Dis/ability informed approaches to pedagogy and learning, STEAM education planning, hands-on learning.
