GUIDING kids to understand their strengths and trust their way of learning and knowing.
Having KNOWLEDGE about yourself and learning how YOU learn, is the most powerful insight you can have for success.
Guiding Knowledge provides highly individualized learning support for your child. In partnership with you and your child, Guiding Knowledge will design an integrated and dynamic personal growth plan that is multisensory and neuroscience-based, all tailored to your shared goals.
Do you find that your child has difficulty in areas such as reading, writing, math, self-regulation, memory, anxiety, attention, over or under sensory stimulation, motor control or executive functioning?
Would you like someone to talk with about your child's learning development?
Guiding Knowledge is ready to listen and work with you and your child; to help guide your child towards finding their way of learning and to help build your child's confidence by guiding your child to see and know their strengths.

Deanna has been a wonderful support in my family's transition to homeschooling. Deanna takes the time to listen well and thoughtfully and lovingly shares ideas around learning based on the individual child.
Not only did Deanna offer ways to make learning easier and more fun for my children, but she also offered many kind suggestions for how to best transition myself into my new role as an educator. She really lifted me up and empowered me. I've very much enjoyed Deanna's support!

~S. Palmer
Deanna worked with our daughter to help her catch-up her reading in English. We switched our daughter from French emersion into the English program in grade 2. We discovered she was behind in both writing and reading in English. She worked with Deanna three times a week and was caught up in just 3 months. Our daughter enjoyed her private sessions with Deanna because she was always kind and very patient with her. Between the sessions and the follow up on the exercises recommended by Deanna to do at home, our daughter is now at the level she should be for her grade.
