Foundations Learning Group

At Foundations Learning Group, we understand that continuous, native-modeled learning is most effective in grasping the English language. Just as we learn our native language in a familiar environment with parents, loved ones, and friends who incorporate learning in a variety of ways, we believe that the best learning is with a familiar native speaker who can tailor lessons to each learner’s unique needs. Outside of the home, we receive consistent education in school, work, and social environments. Similarly, continued education that is flexible, varied, and customized establishes the best foundation for language proficiency.

TFP Founder & President

“How are people doing it?” “It” being surviving, managing, thriving.

Many years ago, as the realities of adulthood began to pile up, I found myself constantly asking this question. Like shakily handling the blocks of a Jenga tower, I tried to carefully balance each aspect of my life and avoid what felt like an inevitable avalanche of overwhelming responsibilities. Work. Relationships. Parenting. Money Management. Home Care. Car Maintenance. Self-Care. Personal Development. Professional Development. Community Work. Health. Fun. Sleep. It has felt and sometimes still feels like way too much.

What I found has helped calm my overwhelm is gaining more knowledge and leveraging this knowledge to make intentional investments in those crucial aspects of my life: my relationship with myself, with others, and with work.

My passions have always been in learning and communications. I love making continuous and meaningful learning easy for others. I love writing and communicating in ways that are clear, meaningful, and beautiful. I love making work and the process of finding meaningful work incrementally and exponentially better for as many people as possible. I have been fortunate to be able to combine these with The Foundations Project.

A University of Toronto alum, I specialized in professional writing, communications, and sociology. Dedicated to continuing education, I have completed numerous courses and obtained additional certifications in career coaching, teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), phonics and reading, business planning, data analysis, marketing, LinkedIn optimization, and negotiation—a list that consistently grows.

What Are They Saying?

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you again for teaching him English and encouraging him to get better. It helps him a lot to gain confidence and lays a good foundation to go this far.”
