About The Learning Lab YYC
OUR STORY
The Learning Lab began with a simple idea: every child can learn when given the right tools, strategies, and support. Founded in Calgary (YYC) by a collective of professional educators, it acknowledges today’s educational realities—larger classes, diverse learner profiles, limited time—while respectfully partnering with schools and working alongside parents and teachers. More than an everyday tutoring company, The Learning Lab’s model is rooted in professional practice and lived classroom experience: comprehensive diagnostic insight, targeted intervention planning, and evidence-based methods (including the Science of Reading and structured literacy), alongside executive-function coaching and individualized goal setting. Its team of current, certified teachers and education specialists—holding a Bachelor of Education, a Bachelor of Psychology, and Master’s degrees in Curriculum & Instruction and in Literacy—bring 20+ years of direct collaboration with students, families, and schools. The result is tailored, compassionate support that strengthens skills, confidence, and achievement while honoring the vital role of educators and the classroom.
OUR MISSION
The Learning Lab’s mission is to help every learner reach their full potential through evidence-based, individualized, and compassionate support. It acknowledges today’s realities—larger classes, diverse needs, limited time—while respecting the vital work of schools and partnering alongside them.
- Confidence, not anxiety: build self-belief through purposeful, scaffolded practice.
- Tailored instruction: target interventions to each learner’s profile using diagnostic insight.
- Guidance for parents: clear next steps and at-home supports—not guesswork.
- Strategies for teachers: practical, research-aligned tools that make a difference.
OUR APPROACH
The Learning Lab blends proven research with practical teaching expertise, acknowledging today’s classroom realities while partnering respectfully with schools.
- Diagnostic assessments: running records, DIBELS, and phonics/word inventories to pinpoint strengths and needs.
- Targeted interventions: grounded in the Science of Reading, UFLi, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Teaching Sprints—structured, explicit practice that builds transferable skills.
- Collaborative goal setting: families, students, and educators co-create clear, achievable targets and roles.
- Consistent progress monitoring: frequent checks inform timely adjustments and communicate measurable growth.
- Flexible delivery: 1:1 and small-group sessions, online or in-person, to extend classroom learning
Every plan is data-driven, every strategy intentional, and every success celebrated.
