“We began working with Avril when our son was in grade 4. Our son barely spoke to anyone at school and would rip his papers rather than complete them. When Avril came into our son's life, his confidence began to soar. He felt better about himself after his sessions and genuinely looked forward to them. Now heading into grade 12, he is a confident, outgoing student who advocates for his needs. Avril is a gifted educator and an extraordinary OG practitioner—your child will be working with one of the best in Canada.”
“My family started our journey with Avril when our youngest son was in grade 2. He was well below grade level when he first started, and reading and written output were a real struggle. With Avril‘s patience and guidance, he was successful in the program. My son continued tutoring through high school, graduated early, and is now an RCMP officer. The boy who hated reading now reads stories to his own son. Avril played a tremendous role in our son's success.”
“My daughter started the Orton-Gillingham program with Avril Wessels at the age of six. At that time, she was barely able to write her first name and had a challenging time comprehending things at school and at home. I was a very worried mom wondering if she would be able to graduate from high school. But now thanks to the OG program and Avril's hard work, she just finished Grade 10 with 6 A's and 2 B's. Without the guidance and OG tutoring from Avril, we would be completely lost. I am forever grateful.”
More than a business, my mission is to change lives and give hope. To change self-doubt into confidence. To guide and empower students to discover their unique gifts and strengths. Your excellence is my mission. – Avril Wessels
