Make everyday a Literacy Day- Across the board: read lyrics to a song, add and mulitply the number of cars you pass, let your child purchase an object and count the change, cut coupons together and do the math on the savings, share a silly story- Listen to each other. National Literacy Day in Canada, January 27, 2012 - Pass it on...

February 2011,
It is cold outside! Attention to all the moms who thoughtfully bring your student and wait throughout the lesson- I will be downloading copies of Yummy Mummy Club blogs - a fun and educational read while you warm up at my place.
Thank you for making "mytutoringspace" your tutoring space!

HAPPY 2010!
Regardless of one's personal religious or ethnic background there is an awareness when getting used to writing the new numeric year, 2010, that a brand new decade is starting. As an educator I am all about growth, change and embracing new ideas while maintaining a groundedness in the past and having a respect for history. So I am welcoming 2010, even if only as a symbol of change. For me the fall, and September with the beginning of formal school coursework, continues to suggest one type of new year, with the December 31st challenge reminiscent of all the years spent wondering at the magnitude of public celebrations and the novelty attending these very public affairs does bring. So whether you spent the evening curled up on a couch watching the ball drop in Manhattan, or braved the cold and joined revelers at Nathan Phillips Square or attended a private get- together, I hope you found the evening to be a chance to plan on participating in what you enjoy this year. May 2010 be a year of active involvement and a time for you to challenge yourself and make yourself visible. Wishing everyone what ever each of you is truly wishing for...
All the best,
as always,
Alison
Welcome to the 2009-2010 Academic Year!
Fall is my favorite season with its promise of new learning, change of direction and growth in the way of Academic Achievement. As an educator I look forward to learning about how students not only spent their summer but also what plans they are making to move themselves forward. This site is a new beginning for me. Until now I communicated directly with each and every one of you via personal e-mail. I will continue to update you on a personal basis but have so much to share in the way of helpful website links, general academic information, and specific guidelines for increasing academic output that being able to encourage all of you to share your insights in a general forum is exciting for me. I hope you will join me in actively contributing questions to the site and sharing your successes with others.
Wishing everyone a pleasant Academic Journey,
All the best from,
