Parent Testimonials
"Amelie's reading has improved significantly since starting to work with Carrie. Amelie loves Carrie's hand-on tasks and she always makes learning fun.
She has Amelie up and moving, and breaks up activities into small and manageable chunks.
Carrie cares deeply that her students enjoy reading and writing, and works to create activities and incentives that right for each child. She takes a personal interest in her students and takes the time to listen to their stories and concerns.
​
Amelie loves her reward systems and enjoys the books and activities she leaves for her to complete on her own. We can see that Amelie is gaining confidence in her reading and starting to show real excitement for reading independently.
​
We would most definitely recommend Carrie's tutoring services."

"Carrie has a natural way with kids. She is so patient and enthusiastic about teaching. She makes it fun for the kids where they look forward to getting together for their weekly tutoring session. She is very playful yet firm when required and gets the job done in an efficient manner.
As an educator, she is very knowledgeable about the needs of our children who are in grades 1 and 3. She helps get all the homework done when required and always come prepared with additional work to do if time permits.
​
She goes above and beyond to make communication with our son’s teachers. She wants to be in the loop with all things pertaining to our boys' educational needs which are so genuine.
I would recommend Carrie to anyone! The kids truly adore her calm and approachable manner."

"Over the past two years Carrie has not only tutored my daughter in math but also supported her in learning how to manage school with ADHD. My daughter has dramatically improved her ability to stay organized and on top of her work and will be entering high school next year with invaluable leaning strategies and newfound confidence thanks to Carrie’s patient and knowledgeable approach"

Parent of Maya (gr. 8)
Carrie has been tutoring my daughter, Naya, for two years now. She always comes in with such a positive energy and Naya is thrilled to see her, every time. In fact, most days she waits for her at the front window with excitement.
Carrie beautifully combines learning and activities and makes every session fun. She takes note of my daughter’s changing interests and plans lessons around things that she knows will capture her attention.
She has really helped Naya to become an excellent reader and teaches her how to prep for quizzes, tests and projects.
I highly recommend Carrie. You won’t regret it.

"Carrie has been tutoring two of my children for over three years, one of whom has a impaired hearing. She has been one of the best additions to our family. Carrie has always approached my children’s needs with warmth, patience and kindness. Her extraordinary abilities to listen and connect with each of my kids is unparalleled; even our kids schoolteachers love her process of teaching tools! Every week when she arrives, there is instant calmness, happiness and gratitude felt amongst all of us. I sometimes wonder if she has a magical aura around her…Her presence and her passion for learning is the most amazing additions to our household. I don’t think my kids would be as interested in learning or as confident in themselves if it weren’t for Carrie. The inspiration and the gentle guidance she consistently provides for my kids is truly exceptional. I sincerely hope she stays a part of our family until our kids move out!

"Carrie has been teaching my twin boys for the past year and did an exceptional job at not only completing the grade curriculum but also filling in many gaps that they had in their learning. She found a way to always make the learning fun and often the boys would eagerly tell me about different things they had learnt that day. Carrie was able to connect with boys right from the beginning and her ability to teach both simple and more challenging concepts was amazing. Through her patience, Carrie was able to teach both boys to work more independently and to take pride in their work. I would highly recommend Carrie!"

"Carrie Powers has been tutoring my 10 and 12 year old daughters for the past 6 months. My younger daughter has specific learning needs in the areas of comprehension and literacy and my older daughter receives tutoring for further enrichment of her day-to-day classwork. Her interaction with both girls has been particularly beneficial during the COVID-19 pandemic as they have received focussed one-on-one attention specific to their needs. Ms. Powers has a calm, caring manner and at each opportunity tries to understand each girls' interests and context. She makes learning concepts relevant to real-life situations and challenges them without putting them on the spot. She uses a breadth of learning resources such as games, worksheets and websites. We have been so happy with the progress and connection each girl has made with her help."

"Our son has had multiple tutors over the years, but truthfully, Carrie is the one who has made a meaningful difference in both his confidence and learning. She knew exactly how to get him to where he needed to be.
She is passionate about teaching and making a true difference in her students academic lives. She is very patient, calm and empathetic to our sons learning style. She makes all the tutoring sessions motivating and fun with her creative approaches and activities. Each math and language session is always presented in various ways for our son to truly comprehend.
In less than a year, Carrie significantly narrowed his large learning gap while at the same time enhancing his confidence to levels we haven’t seen in him before. It’s truly been remarkable to see...we can’t thank her enough for the impact she has had on both with his studies and his mental growth.
Carrie has been an angel in our sons educational growth and we couldn’t have of done it without her."
