Welcome to learning strategies

Learning strategies combine all the benefits of tutoring, executive function coaching, and study skills to offer learners personalized support that gets to the root of how they learn. Our holistic strategy approach means that we take a 360° look at a learner’s experience so they can succeed throughout all of life’s challenges.

  • Higher grades, better test scores, and a more complete understanding

  • More consistent attendance levels

  • Better time management and less procrastination

  • No more pressure-induced anxiety

  • Higher confident, self-esteem, and self-reliance

  • Improved wellbeing including more restful sleeps and stronger focus

We reframe challenges

What’s commonly seen as a lack of motivation, laziness, or simply not trying hard enough, we see as a blindspot in a learner’s toolkit.

We believe that by equipping students, families, and educators with skills that are currently missing, we can break the cycle of stress, avoidance, and shame that act as barriers toward academic success.

Support for all

Students

Learners of any age or at any stage

Academic challenges look different for everyone. That’s what makes our holistic learning strategy based approach is different, too. We work with learners to develop their own personal tool kit of of techniques and approaches that nurture their confidence, lower their stress, and give them back their spark.

Parents & Families

Learner support systems

When your learner is struggling, it can take a toll on your wellbeing as a caregiver. We offer group sessions that can connect you with other likeminded families looking to navigate tough challenges with more support. Learn new ways to help yourself and your learner reduce tension, get more rest, and feel more at peace.

“Thank you for these wonderful sessions and sharing your advice and supports!! I have found them helpful for my son in grade 10. I love your passion for helping all learners succeed and not struggle. I found your presentations clear, helpful and contained many takeaways that we could put into action right away.”

“[My daughter] had her first online meeting with Mona on Thursday and called me in tears to say that she felt so much better after talking to Mona, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for putting us in touch with Mona.  As [she] put it to me she said “Mom I think we’re a perfect fit.”
