Learning, Revived

No Shortcuts. Just deep learning that lasts as the world evolves.


Active Learning is for parents who know what it takes to be academically successful but don’t have the time to spend with their kids.

At our core, we teach students how to study and plan for their future.

This includes figuring out what they would like to excel at, how to get there, what extracurriculars align with their path, and informing them on opportunities available to them.

On top of that, we offer targeted academic support for all subjects.

we’re for students who aspire towards great academic achievement and prefer personalized support on their academic journeys. Our services include everything required to support student success.

“I have known Amanda for 14 years. She is a talented, dedicated educator who supported my daughter from Grade 3 through university and master’s applications. Amanda takes time to understand each student and tailors lessons to their strengths and needs. Her structured, organized approach not only improved my daughter’s grades but taught her independent learning skills.

Amanda kept parents informed with a detailed binder showing time spent, homework, and notes—very helpful when I’m busy with work and my other child. Because of Amanda’s guidance, my daughter was admitted to two schools offering the IB program, later to Western’s Medical Sciences, and then to a specialized Master’s/PhD program.

Amanda helped at every stage: CASPer preparation, CV development, extracurricular planning, and the full application process. I’m deeply grateful for the support she gave my daughter.”
