Every child learns and develops in their own way. Some may need extra support with reading, writing, processing, or retaining information, while others might benefit more from strategies that help them stay focused—especially in busy, sensory-rich classroom environments.
At Treetops Tutoring, I offer a variety of educational services designed to meet each student's unique needs, helping them feel supported, confident, and ready to succeed.
I have the experience and understanding to support students with a wide range of learning needs. One-on-one tutoring can be especially beneficial for students with ADHD or diagnosed emotional challenges, providing the focused attention and encouragement they need to thrive. I also work with students with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and those on the Autism Spectrum, using strategies tailored to their individual learning styles to help improve confidence and educational outcomes.
Students thrive when they feel safe, confident, and supported in their learning. As an experienced tutor, I adapt my approach to meet each student’s unique needs. With a compassionate nature, a good sense of humour, and years of experience working with diverse learning abilities, I strive to create a positive and encouraging environment where students can truly succeed.
I work with students across all grade levels—from Grade 1 learners who need extra academic or organizational support, to Grade 12 students aiming to boost their performance in their final year of high school. And of course, I support every grade in between, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of the student.
If your child is finding a particular area of literacy challenging, I can provide the focused support they need to work through it with confidence. By revisiting key concepts, exploring the material from different angles, and applying strategies tailored to their individual learning style, I help students better understand and retain information—giving them the tools they need to move forward successfully.
While supporting students with their academic work and learning approaches, I also introduce strategies to help them build effective study and organizational habits suited to their individual ability levels. Developing strong study skills early on is ideal, but it’s never too late—older students facing learning challenges can still benefit from learning new techniques. I offer guidance on improving study methods and can provide practical advice to help make studying at home more effective and manageable.
Students with learning challenges can sometimes feel frustrated when working through homework, which may lead to a loss of confidence and motivation. At Treetops, I focus on keeping students engaged through ongoing encouragement and positive reinforcement. As they begin to complete assignments more independently and accurately, their confidence grows—both in themselves and in their overall approach to school. Over time, this often leads to noticeable improvements in their academic performance.
To support this progress, I regularly organize study groups and homework clubs throughout the school year, providing a supportive space for students to learn and thrive together.
I provide supportive guidance and practical strategies to help students overcome literacy challenges. I'm committed to making the joy and importance of literacy accessible to all children and youth, regardless of their ability level.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with many international students whose first language is not English, helping them develop both their spoken and written communication skills for academic and everyday use. I’m also certified to tutor English as a Second Language (ESL), and I tailor each session to meet the individual needs of every learner.
If students require an alternative curriculum that better aligns with their level of understanding, I can make those accommodations. I am well-versed in working with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and can ensure that the curriculum matches the requirements set by the student's school district, distance learning program, or family preferences.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with many homeschooling programs and private educational organizations. I welcome the opportunity to work in a supportive team environment, where we can collectively focus on the student’s long-term learning goals and success.
Personalized tutoring can greatly boost a student’s self-esteem, helping them gain confidence with every academic achievement, big or small. At Treetops, we focus not just on academics but also on fostering a love for learning and a positive attitude toward education. With compassion, understanding, and the right environment, we ensure students with learning challenges feel supported and empowered to excel in all areas of their lives.
