Summer Programs
We support our students with personalized instruction and practice.
Evoke’s summer programs help students gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed and realize their academic potential.
We offer personalized instruction and lots of opportunity for learning and practice.
Evoke’s individualized summer programs help to minimize the effect of deficits in academic and organizational (executive function) skills and prepare students for the next academic year, including any upcoming transitions to high school or postsecondary studies.
Our Summer Programs Include:
Executive Function Coaching(Grade 9–Postsecondary)
Coaching is a proven method for creating and managing change. Evoke’s coaches help students reflect on their strengths and weaknesses, prepare their mindset, think ahead, and set goals for the next year.
Reading Remediation (Grades 1–12)
Our program is grounded in the science of reading and cognitive science. Our instructional practices are informed by decades of research in cognitive science, literacy development, and evidence-based reading instruction. We incorporate all the principles associated with structured literacy and the science of reading to support lasting literacy growth and build confident, capable readers.
Academic and Learning Strategies (Grade 7–Postsecondary)
Our program offerings teach students, step-by-step, a variety of evidence-based strategies that help them manage the writing process and improve what they write. The program assists students with every phase of the writing process, from brainstorming and goal setting to proofreading and revision strategies.
Math Recovery (Grades 4-12)
Our structured math intervention program is designed for students who have significant gaps in their foundational math skills and need to catch up to grade level.
Assistive Technology Training: Gadget Gurus (Grades 4–12)
Students explore how to use technology to help them stay organized, read text with meaning, write their best work, take effective notes, study, research, annotate, and edit their work.

How We Help
Evoke’s programs are grounded in tutoring research, delivering intensive (high-dosage), curriculum-aligned instruction at least three times a week—one of the most effective ways to close learning gaps and build lasting skills.
We offer:
- Remediation and reinforcement in reading, writing, and math for elementary and high school students
- Reteaching of grade-level concepts so students are ready for the year ahead
- Executive function coaching for high school and postsecondary students covering study skills, note-taking, time management, motivation, and procrastination
- Support for online courses and summer school, helping students stay on track and prepared for tests
- Flexible, virtual programming that works around cottage weekends, family trips, and everything in between
At Evoke, we believe every student deserves to feel capable and confident. Through personalized support and plenty of practice, we help students build the skills and confidence to reach their full potential.
Our summer programs offer flexibility and convenience to accommodate your vacation or cottage plans.
The Benefits of Online Learning
Evoke works with clients exclusively online across borders and time zones.
The benefits of online learning include the elimination of commuting time for sessions, the incorporation of assistive technology and other online resources into instruction (e.g., Google Docs for collaboration and work that is automatically saved, the use of voice-to-text and text-to-speech programs), and flexibility around session length, particularly for students who have challenges sustaining self-regulation for long periods of time. Evoke specializes in supporting neurodivergent learners: students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), ADHD, autism and/or executive function challenges.
With online learning, students can access specialized support regardless of where they live and enjoy a higher level of confidentiality of services. By offering remote instruction, Evoke can hire the best practitioners from across North America and beyond. Online instruction creates a mindset that embraces learning and technology, gets students organizing themselves virtually so they are less likely to lose materials, and allows them to access their work from anywhere at any time.
At Evoke, we support neurodivergent students through personalized instruction, individualized attention, and practitioners who truly understand their needs and genuinely care about helping them thrive.
Many students, particularly those with ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, or giftedness, struggle with reading, writing, math, and executive functioning skills. Without targeted support, these gaps can lead to academic setbacks and challenges with confidence and well-being. Students are carrying a lighter load in summer, which makes it the perfect time to catch up and build skills that stick, and our flexible programs are designed to fit with your family’s vacation plans.
Private and Personalized Instruction
At Evoke, we strive to create a virtual tutoring environment for students that emulates a face-to-face experience and provides authentic opportunities for students to engage.
All Evoke services are delivered one-to-one by tutors with advanced skills; we don’t offer group programming.
Research shows that accommodations are the most common response to a learning disability diagnosis in schools. While valuable, accommodations are designed to provide access, not to build skills. They’re a helpful bridge while students are developing competencies, but they’re not a long-term solution.
Evoke’s programs go further. Through evidence-based intervention, we focus on lasting skill development that supports independent functioning, helping students grow into capable, confident adults. Reducing expectations doesn’t build the competencies that lead to autonomy; effective intervention does.
