Our virtual learning centre is a support for students and families choosing classroom or remote learning.
At Evoke, we specialize in math, science, and English tutoring; writing strategies; reading remediation (in both English and French); academic and ADHD coaching; student mentoring; executive functioning support; and the development of essential study skills.

Coaching helps students achieve their academic and personal goals and acquire new skills and approaches to their learning. Utilizing goal setting, encouragement, and structure, Evoke’s Academic Coaching helps struggling students establish strong work habits, develop effective learning skills and strategies, and strengthen and manage their executive functions. Academic coaching increases self-awareness and allows students to dig deeper to discover what’s getting in the way of their objectives, and provides the support and focus required to persevere and effectively manage transitions.

Current cognitive science research indicates that the most important factor in reading comprehension is not mastering strategies. Learning to read consists of developing skills in two critical areas: decoding (reading text accurately and fluently) and sufficient language comprehension (i.e. background knowledge and vocabulary). Evoke uses research-validated strategies and interventions, based on the science of reading, to help students develop the phonological and phonemic awareness skills necessary to become proficient readers.

Evidence-based research demonstrates that struggling writers can improve their skills dramatically if they receive the detailed, explicit instruction they need (Graham & Harris, 2005). Such strategies can improve the writing skills of students with learning disabilities and are equally effective for individuals who just need extra help.
Evoke’s Academic Writing Strategies program teaches students evidence-based strategies that assist with every phase of the writing process. Together, the student and tutor will identify the greatest roadblocks to the student’s writing and choose the strategies that will best address their challenges.

Academic Foundations focuses on the key foundational concepts necessary for academic performance. Students are introduced to information, resources, strategies, and tools that help them strengthen executive functioning, navigate the curriculum, enhance their learning, and organizational, time management, and study skills.

Our mentoring program helps students who are easily discouraged or find it difficult to stay organized, plan ahead, initiate work, and remain on task. Our Facilitated Focus program helps guide students develop the mental and physical habits required to achieve long-term goals and establish a link to the daily behaviour they need in order to achieve them.
Mentors work directly with students to address challenges as they arise and guide them through how to initiate and break down assignments into manageable chunks. Students also receive support for organizing their materials, and developing the academic perseverance and self-control required to focus on tasks.
