The Strategic Learning Clinic has exceeded all of our expectations. The instructors are highly skilled and take the time to understand each student’s needs. My daughter has made significant academic progress and, just as importantly, has developed greater confidence in her abilities. The environment is positive, structured, and supportive. We are very grateful for their dedication and highly recommend their services.

If it weren’t for Strategic Learning, my daughter—now almost 12—might still be struggling to read and write today. That alone says everything.
What makes them truly exceptional is not just their expertise, but the way they approach each child. They are attentive, strategic, and deeply caring. They don’t use a one-size-fits-all method—they take the time to understand how your child’s brain works and teach in a way that truly connects.
We still have our challenges, but the progress is undeniable—she is getting better and better every day. The transformation we’ve seen is incredible. My daughter now reads and writes with confidence—something we once weren’t sure would happen.
I also want to highlight Miriam, who has been absolutely incredible with my daughter. Her patience, dedication, and ability to connect have made such a meaningful difference in our journey.
I honestly don’t know where we would be today without them. I’m sharing this because I truly believe in paying it forward. If this review helps even one parent find the right support for their child—like we did—then it’s worth it. The impact they’ve had on my daughter’s life is something I’ll always be grateful for.

We came to SLC as our last resort after trying many different supports for our child’s learning difficulties. We had completed every evaluation suggested by the school, worked with specialized tutors and resource teachers privately, and received support from the school as well. Nothing worked. The gap kept growing.
From the beginning, we were impressed by how thorough and detailed SLC assessment process was. They were able to pinpoint our child’s weak areas and selected programs the most suitable to their needs.
At this moment my child is in the middle of the program and has made significant progress. The teachers are attentive, responsive, flexible, and clearly very experienced.
For the first time in a long time, it feels like we are moving in the right direction. Thank you for giving us hope.

Cristina Girolamo shares what really stands out about SLC and why the initial assessment is so crucial.
Cristina Girolamo shares what really stands out about SLC and why the initial assessment is so crucial.
We’ve had a very positive experience with this tutoring and remedial teaching service. What really stands out is how much care they put into matching the tutor/teacher to the child, not only based on academic needs and skills, but also personality. It made a huge difference in my children’s comfort and confidence.
The team is very professional, and their cancellation and rescheduling policies are clearly explained from the start, which avoids any misunderstandings. I also really appreciated the flexibility of the teachers and the fact that we communicate directly with them. The teachers are very skilled and knowledgeable. They genuinely care about each child’s success.
The initial assessment and interview may seem extensive at first, but it truly helps ensure that the child’s specific needs are understood and properly addressed. You can tell they want every child to succeed and feel supported.
I would definitely recommend their services and their unique approach to learning.

We are so glad to have found Strategic Learning Clinic on our homeschooling journey! After the initial assessment, different remedial programs were suggested and little by little our daughter overcame some of her difficulties and most of all, grew in confidence and assurance of her strengths. Together with the exceptional one-on-one math remediation, the Interactive Metronome therapy proved to be the most efficient intervention for our daughter. She is now able to focus on different types of tasks with ease. Even during the pandemic, the clinic was very responsive, able to accommodate and adapt to the challenging circumstances. We recommend SLC if your child struggles with learning disabilities or any other learning challenges. The team is extremely courteous, understanding, and prompt to walk you through and assist in pinpointing the difficulties that need to be addressed. To the staff and team at SLC, a big THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

“Strategic Learning Clinic has helped me to shape my thoughts and coordinate the way my mind works when approaching both personal and school-related work. The team has done wonders and they helped me in areas where I did not even know help was necessary. I wanted to thank Dara Goldsmith, one of the Clinic’s program directors, for all that she has done for me during the summer. Contrary to my first thoughts, the Clinic’s programs were based entirely on scientific research; unlike other treatments, the effects are not based on placebo.
Strategic Learning Clinic has greatly improved my academic skills and I will be forever grateful for what the team did for me. I am truly happy to have been helped by you!”

“Our children had been having difficulty in their studies for some time. We had tried a number of different approaches but with limited success. Strategic Learning Clinic was recommended to us by the resource teacher at their school and by a child psychologist. SLC immediately began with an interview of us as parents and a series of tests for our children to get to the root of their problems. After reviewing the results with us, they got our kids started on various brain training programs (IM, FF, Cellfield).
Our kids are now active in a number of remedial programs (LIPS, EMS, JUMP Math). We have also participated in a writing workshop and high school preparation classes. Throughout this intense effort, SLC has provided outstanding support. They have been with us every step of the way, identifying the issues, guiding us through the options, accommodating our schedules and giving us much needed encouragement. Most of all, every one of their teachers has been wonderful in building a rapport with my children, showing that they care for them and spending all the time and effort necessary to understand and help them.
As a result, my children have shown tremendous improvement in both their general ability to get organised, focus on what’s important and work things out, as well as in their capability in specific subject areas (English, French, Math). This in turn has led to greater overall self-confidence in everything they do. SLC has come at a critical time for our family. Although it has required a major sacrifice on our part, it has been completely worth it.
Thanks to SLC, we feel that our children are obtaining the skills to enable them to be successful in their academics and in their lives. While we still have a long way to go, we feel that our children are now back on track and that they have a bright future ahead of them. We are truly grateful to SLC.”

“When my daughter, Anastasia, was having difficulty at school, we tried private tutoring and a group program at another learning centre. She showed no improvement. It was Strategic Learning Clinic’s unique techniques and exclusive programs that finally helped Anastasia become a fluent reader.
Her understanding of math concepts has also improved dramatically. Thanks to Strategic Learning Clinic, Anastasia is now a confident, successful learner.”

“After I found out Kayla was dyslexic, I tried several learning centres. It wasn’t until we came to Strategic Learning Clinic that her reading really improved. They identified important issues and recommended programs I had never been offered before.
At six years old, it was like her eyes opened for the first time. She wouldn’t be where she is today without Strategic Learning Clinic.”
