FAQ

Not at all! Some students come to us because they have a diagnosed learning disorder, while others simply need more systematic, directed practice with reading and writing. According to the Canadian Children's Literacy Foundation, approximately 25% of grade 3 students in Canada are not reading at grade level. This can be addressed; we provide the right supports to help all students become successful readers and writers. If you suspect that your child is not yet reading or writing at grade level, contact us and we can schedule a 30-minute formative assessment. Based on the student's results, we will make recommendations.

We offer packages of eight, 50-minute, individualized, lessons for $640. It is recommended that students have two lessons per week in order to truly benefit from the Orton-Gillingham method, but we can work together to build a schedule that works best for you. If you are a new client, we offer a one-time, 30-minute formative assessment. Amanda will meet with the student to conduct the assessment, then she will analyze the results and develop recommendations for a program plan. The results and plan will be shared with the client in a separate meeting a few days later. The cost for the assessment is $100. Please note that this is not an assessment for diagnosis. All payments can be made by etransfer and are due at the time of booking.

Leap Learning is not a traditional tutoring agency. Each student's intake assessment becomes a starting point for their unique learning plan. We specialize in literacy intervention and remediation. Our main focus is online learning, however, we do have limited daytime availability for in-person sessions.

Online lessons will take place over Zoom. A secure link will be sent to you prior to your first session. The student will need an internet connected device with microphone, speaker, and camera enabled. See Zoom system requirements here. They will need a notebook to write in, and a quiet space with minimal interruptions. They should be comfortably seated with enough space for their device as well as their writing notebook. Also helpful is a small white board with marker and eraser.

We ask our students to provide 24 hours notice to reschedule a class. Notice provided less than 24 hours in advance will result in cancellation without rescheduling or reimbursement. If we have to cancel, Leap Learning will rebook at your convenience, or else a refund will be issued.
