WELCOME TO THE LEARNING CLINIC EDUCATION CENTRE

INTRODUCTION

The Learning Clinic is a private practice that I established in January 2007. I offer a number of services that fall under the umbrella of education, training and career development and will be of particular interest and use to students, educators, parents, grandparents and members of the general public. As well, I have a number of services that appeal to business leaders, professionals and managers of public and private institutions. 

I have a number of very specific goals and objectives which I would like to achieve through The Learning Clinic.

  1. I would like to have this web site become recognized as a centralized location which is devoted entirely to information, resources and appropriate links to other sites pertaining to education, training and career development. It can best be described as a combination "virtual shopping centre" and "reference library" rolled into one. 
  2. The site will contain relevant reference links to educational material as well as articles, editorials and commentaries that will inspire, motivate, and inform. The publication will also provide insight into major issues and trends that are influencing the field of education and career development today and which will have an impact will into the future.
  3. It is my intention to create more awareness of businesses, professionals, and institutions that provide goods and/or services which may be useful in helping students and parents achieve their education and career development goals. 
  4. My ultimate goal is to create a centre which will be of use to classroom teachers in the delivery of their curriculum from elementary through to post-secondary levels.

Whereas my practice has been established in the City of Greater Sudbury, there are a number of services that I will be able to provide to local residents, including:

  1. Personal tutoring services for students;
  2. Part-time employment for instructors;
  3. Marketing and promotional services to businesses and professionals;
