Successes
When I found out that our daughter was dyslexic I looked everywhere for help. We spent several months researching programs and thousands of dollars implementing them. When our daughter started working with Terry and Heather her self-esteem was so low that she did not want to go to school and on many days she did not go. Within a few weeks of working with these ladies our daughter was starting to feel more positive. Not only did her reading and comprehension improve but so did her self-esteem and motivation. My smiling happy girl was coming back! Today our daughter is an advanced reader but even more compelling is that she LOVES to read! She has read five Harry Potter books in five months and is starting her own book club. I am so fortunate Terry and Heather used their knowledge and expertise to teach our daughter how to read. I am also very grateful that they were such positive influences in her life and cared about her as a whole person. I tell everyone I know about Links 2 Learning Online because it transformed my daughter’s life and her future and for that I will be forever grateful.

I am the mother of a 19 year old girl who has struggled academically all her life. I was at my wits end on how to help my daughter achieve her goal of further education in the form of a college online course requiring online written conversation and projects. I turned to Links 2 Learning Online, because I knew of their considerable knowledge and background skills as teachers working with children in the school district and I had heard about their transition into a computer based help program/business. I felt incredibly relieved to find support for my daughter. Links 2 Learning Online knew of many helpful internet based programs and tools, for e.g. “Ginger”. It corrects, helps with sentence construction, grammar and spelling. Links 2 Learning Online also offered any needed support in how to navigate it. I highly recommend Links 2 Learning Online to anyone needing academic support. It’s so wonderful to find help is available via computer, over the internet and offered by professionals who understand learning difficulties and are so supportive in not only practical matters but with encouragement and emotional support as well.

I could barely read a sentence when I started working with Mrs.Dobson and Mrs.Baptie. Now I can read a whole novel (like the twilight series) and I feel like I can conquer anything. I love reading!

I will tell the whole world to read!

Exactly what I was looking for! As an ESL resource teacher, I am eager to set up a program at my own school to target our struggling readings. Very well organized, interesting to listen to all day. Know their material and able to adjust to the group needs.

Sheila and I travelled to Kelowna to participate in a personalized two day inservice put on by Terry and Heather from Links 2 Learning. During the two days, we were presented with a plethora of ideas and resources, both in print and technology-based. The variety and number of resources were incredible. Both Heather and Terry were extremely approachable and knowledgeable. Many of these ideas could be incorporated in the classroom immediately. The pace was fast and energetic with a focus on improving student learning! We would highly recommend these two presenters for any group wanting to learn more about meeting the needs of struggling readers! Heather and Terry are both excellent presenters, but more importantly, they are both exceptional teachers!
