SPECIALIZED CENTRE FOR
STUDENT SUCCESS
HEARTFELT LEARNING + EXECUTIVE FUNCTION SUPPORT
Every student can achieve academic & personal success with the right support & strategies.
At Brightside Learning, we specialize in working with bright, capable students who may feel stuck, scattered, discouraged, or disconnected. Some may have ADHD or learning differences. Others may be overthinkers, feel anxious, or overwhelmed. Many simply need support that feels different -- more personal, more attuned, more connected, more on the ball, more real.
Our signature Brightside Approach blends crucial therapeutic learning relationships with coaching for executive function development, reflective metacognitive dialogue, active previewing, and academic strategy. We focus on supporting the whole learner, meeting each student where they're at, and helping them become confident and successful. We demonstrate an unwavering belief in each student's potential and ability to achieve success, which shines through every step of the way!​​
