What We Do

Through our one-to-one specialized learning support, we empower unique learners to recognize their own strengths, gain confidence, and achieve lifelong confidence and success inside and outside the classroom. In “Josh’s story” Jennifer and Donna share their son’s story, and how working with Lightwell Learning helped him realize his potential and discover his strengths.

Why Lightwell Learning?

Transformational Learning Support, for Every Learner

We deliver transformational learning support programs that meet learners where they are and help them move forward with confidence. Our programs span the full developmental cycle, targeting each learner’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.

Our one-to-one support is progress-monitored, aligned with BC’s Core Competencies, and grounded in research-based curricula, ensuring meaningful growth both academically and personally. We provide holistic, individualized, inclusive, and technology-enhanced learning support.

Experienced, Specialized Instructors

Our learners are supported by a highly qualified, multidisciplinary team that includes:

  • BC-Certified Teachers
  • Special Education Assistants
  • Orton-Gillingham–certified instructors
  • Speech-Language Pathologists
  • Inclusive Education Instructors
  • Occupational Therapists
  • Certified Early Childhood Educators

…and other specialists as needed. This depth of expertise allows us to design responsive programs that truly work.

Technology-Enhanced Learning

We thoughtfully integrate leading assistive technologies into every customized program. These tools are used in innovative, purposeful ways to personalize instruction, reduce barriers, and help learners build independence and confidence.

Accessible and Inclusive by Design

Inclusivity is not an add-on; it’s built into everything we do. Our physical and virtual learning spaces are intentionally designed to support diverse learners, and our sliding fee scale ensures students of all ages and backgrounds can access high-quality learning support.

Individualized, Resource-Intensive Support

Each learner benefits from a dedicated Case Manager and Instructor who work together to design and implement a customized learning plan. This team-based, resource-intensive approach ensures consistent support, clear communication, and measurable progress.

Proven Results, Backed by Research

Our impact is evidence-based. Multi-year studies conducted in partnership with the University of British Columbia show that our students progress, on average, up to 1.5 grade levels per year, while also reporting significant increases in confidence and self-esteem.

Our whole experience at Lightwell Learning, from the one-to-one instructors to every interaction with the team, was exceptional. I heartily recommend it, and we will return for additional programs in the future!

Trudy, parent of a Lightwell learner

[Our instructor] did an amazing job connecting with my son, who was very reticent and unsure about specialized instruction at first. He always came out of his sessions happy, and seemed much more confident overall, as well as feeling his math skills improved. Thank you so much, for making a real difference in my son’s life this year!

Jessica, parent of a Lightwell learner

My experience with Lightwell Learning started after Grade 5. At that time, I was struggling with math really badly. Thankfully, I ended up with Jennifer, who helped me with all of my homework and math problems. The atmosphere was always inviting, and the staff welcomed the students. I don’t have that much of a hard time with math anymore, and I’m glad that I got help from Jennifer.

Eva, Lightwell Learning Alumni

My daughter loves working with [her instructor] and is always excited for her lesson. With the previous private tutoring, my daughter always begged me before every session to skip the lesson, but she has never asked to skip a session with Lightwell Learning. It is such a relief that we have found Lightwell Learning and your amazing instructors. Thank you.

Sarah, parent of a Lightwell learner

[Our Instructor] is so patient with my daughter and has so many great ways to get her engaged in her work. My daughter can be resistant and distracted, so that’s no easy task! With the session online, it’s lovely to hear the laughter and also the progress. She is truly a skilled teacher, and we’re so grateful to have her work with us.

Naomi, parent of a Lightwell learner

My son has really enjoyed working with [his instructor]. She has been amazing at keeping him engaged and making the lessons fun. We have found that the one-to-one instruction has helped with his learning tremendously, and he has learned tricks that help him remember words and sounds. We look forward to continuing our lessons throughout the summer.

Tania, parent of a Lightwell learner

We believe that every individual should be empowered to achieve greatness their way.
