Testimonials
"Corinne has been working with my son for the last few months and has done an amazing job with him. He is growing in confidence and ability. She is extremely patient and knows how to get the best out of my son even when he is feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. Her kind, knowledgeable and holistic approach has been invaluable to our sons growth. The one on one help she provides is so crucial to children who need extra support. I appreciate as well the time she takes to explain and keep me in the loop as to what I can do to support him between sessions. Our experience has been very positive and I highly recommend this service."

"Corinne was very patient and supportive of ours son's learning disabilities. She worked with him 1-2x weekly over the school year and daily sessions during school breaks. Z improved his reading and confidence during his time with Corinne. She was able to support him with his ADHD and knew when a break was needed. All of our interactions were online."

"I had the pleasure of working with Corinne for 2 1/2 years. During that time I observed her working with many different students. She excels in building rapport with her students, and they always emerged from her lessons happy, and looking forward to their next session with her. Corinne has worked with students of all ages, and who have many different challenges. She remains calm in the face of challenging behaviour, and is remarkably good at meeting her students where they are, at their level."

"Just wanted to give a shout out to Corinne. She posted here ["Westside Calgary Community" Facebook Group] a few weeks ago offering literacy tutoring and as we've been struggling with some difficult to identify issues I engaged her services. Not only did she help us identify the issues, the first 5 sessions have had a significant impact. I finally feel like we have the right support to help solve the literacy issues we have and we now have a clear path forward. What I appreciate the most is how she's taken the time to educate me so I can support my son as well. If you are seeing some challenges and need support I could not recommend her more. We've also been doing online as well which I was concerned wouldn't be as effective but I actually think its been fantastic and he gets to work on his computer skills as well."

"I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am that V. had the chance to participate in the program. The tutoring made a huge difference for him, not only with his ability to read, but with his motivation to learn, and overall self-confidence. I cannot say enough positive things about the tutor. Corinne is an excellent teacher, not only academically, but because she is genuinely compassionate and cares about kids. Her care for V. as a human being was obvious, and that had a huge impact on his willingness to grow as a student and to be open to doing what he once believed he could not do."
~ Dorrie D.
"Please accept this humble note in gratitude of the marvelous job that you (Corinne) have done with L for a full year, non-stop. It is so empowering and heartwarming to have witnessed the level of awareness that L has acquired regarding his self-esteem and the belief that he is as smart and capable of reading as his friends from school. L is now a confident reader and he has developed a true love for books. Love that I promise to foster and nurture for as long as I am able to. They say that it takes a village to raise a child and I firmly believe in it because, thanks to you, L is a better person."
~ Lynddy C.
"There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for all your (Corinne's) work with W, encouraging words and suggestions. You have truly made a difference in all our lives and we are so thankful. You have given us tools for the future and hope as well."
