Our Expertise
The decline in learning is real.
The decline in learning means that compared to even two decades ago, many children today are not reaching their full learning potential. This is because many children have developed gaps in their learning due to the pandemic or other interruptions to schooling.
For children this will have a negative impact on different areas of their development, from school performance to self-esteem. At home parents may see their children frustrated, struggling with homework, reading, and their desire to complete academic work.
At Education Advantage we help stop the decline in learning. We augment our services using additional screening tools where necessary to identify strengths and weaknesses in executive functioning and attention skills. We find exactly where a child’s learning gaps occur and provide a customized learning plan.
Our primary goal is to reassure you with a plan that will help your child succeed.
"Education advantage gave me affirmation for everything I had been wondering about and struggling with. Leigh and Joyce were lovely, so easy to talk to and share with. They took all my concerns seriously and handled everything professionally".

The Assessment gave us peace of mind. We wanted an assessment for our daughter. Education Advantage gave us great strategies to help her address her academic weaknesses over the summer. She is now a thriving and happy student.

“The assessment allowed me to understand the areas I struggle with most, and provided a specific tool/technique that I could implement immediately to address my specific need. I'd highly recommend this process to anyone looking for more clarity.”
