Dear Valued Customers, Partners and Friends,

Thank you for continously supporting my tutoring business. After 2+ years of operation, our services have helped many students across Ontario. Thank you to our wonderful partners for their collaboration. The closing of our doors is due to a combination of factors, including other business opportunities. Although this chapter has closed, I am looking looking forward to new, future ventures.

Thank you again for your support!

As we move along in September and homework gets a little more harder, don't be afraid to ask for help! At one point or another, we all need a little bit of help. More on why you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help here: http://surfthecurve.tumblr.com/post/63375980289/dont-be-afraid-to-ask-for-help

Did you know that by 24 months, children who do not have access to books and development programs have learned 30% FEWER words than children who do? It is important that we invest in early childhood education. For every $1 spent on early childhood education, there is a return of up to $3. Let's take action. http://ow.ly/AkNiQ
