Where unique
minds flourish

Out of the box thinkers require out of the box teaching methods

TLC offers specialized education for today's unique learners. We work with kids who are struggling to achieve their potential within a traditional academic environment. We nurture "out of the box" thinking while developing foundational and essential hard and soft skills that are necessary for navigating the landscape of our future.

Specialized Teachers

Our teachers are trained in the proven strategies and techniques of Orton-Gillingham.

Gradual Growth

We gradually build confidence in our learners as we move from basic to complex skill development.

Targeted Goals

We work with students to identify and achieve realistic goals based around their individual strengths and interests.

 

Unique minds,
big impact

Some of the greatest inventors, authors, entrepreneurs of our time had minds that differed from the average. These minds need to be fostered and nurtured, not stifled. Our specialized methodology allows unique learners to flourish.

Our daughter has been working with The Learning Common for almost a year now and we remain so grateful for the teaching and learning they offer. Through this unpredictable and vulnerable time of a pandemic, her teacher has remained an anchor of both routine and inspiration. She has built a trusting relationship with our daughter, and in that safety,  there is freedom to take risks, be playful, and connect in relevant and meaningful ways. So, yes, her literacy skills have developed, but so has her imagination, her creativity, her humour, and her sense of purpose. I wish all kids could learn in the way that The Learning Common teaches.
