Hear From Our Grateful Parents

Katie
Foster Mom
USA
"This company has been an absolute joy to work with. Our 2 foster kids came to us really far behind due to the life they had experienced prior to coming into our home... The kids demonstrated significant challenges that align with neurodivergence so l was thrilled to find a company that was armed with tutors equipped with the tools to support the kids learning needs.

With the help of the Edify tutors our younger child seamlessly entered the first grade (didnt go through kinder and was not able to identify letters of the alphabet or numbers at 5 years old) and has been able to keep up with the pace of his classmates well into the third grade... Our older child was at a grade 1 reading level leaving the 4th grade and was brought up to peer level by the start of the 7th grade... The continuing support of Edify and the relationship the kids have built with their tutor has had a significant positve impact on their healing and ability to adjust to the challenges of their circumstance... I cannot recommend this company enough."

"I just wanted to express how much I appreciate for you effort, time, and patience! It really means a lot for [my child] and I. In a short period of time, I can already see a huge improvement that no other tutor was able to achieve in the last 4 years. I just want [my child’s tutor] to know that I can see your effort and kind heart and I really appreciate it.

She is the best tutor we ever had. Thank her so much for being very kind, very thoughtful, and patient! We have been working with her for the past 4 months and not even 1 complain about you was made by [my child].

I am so happy and grateful that Priya from Edify matched my child with her! … I would love to have her as his tutor as long as she likes."
Taya T.

"I cannot recommend Edify enough. They think outside the box to teach in a way that suits the way the individual learns best. They go above and beyond to come up with solutions to challenges and show that they truly care about their client—not only their learning outcomes, but also their emotional well-being. I am so impressed and grateful to have them supporting our family!"
Rekha Raman
Mother

"We are very thankful for our Tutor. She was the best fit for our child. We tried Mathnasium and Kumon in person and we found a better fit with an Edify Tutor Online. We found that she(tutor) teaches our child the way that he learns. It didn't feel like a cookie cutter program. There was a real connection."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental difference which is a normal part of neurodiversity in our human experience. There are many ways to interpret these differences. Many recorded scientific sources refer to ADHD in reference to the DSM-V Manual which uses a deficit model to describe traits that could be interfering with daily life if not supported. Other ways to describe ADHD are through the Holistic model which can be seen in the resources page.
What are the signs of autism?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of symptoms, including difficulties with social interaction, repetitive behaviors, challenges in communication, and unique strengths or interests.

The typical explanation of this question is: "If you've met one child with autism, you've met one child with autism." Many Autistics prefer to use identify first language and say they are Autistics. Medical models use terms like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD.) Signs can vary widely but may include variations of lack of eye contact, which Autistics say are not necessary to hear. Some may not respond to their own name, many say because they are not responding because they know they are being interrupted by something boring or less preferred. Some may have a difficulty understanding social cues or be extremely social, and maybe even intense focus on specific topics of interest.  We recommend referring to our resources page for more information and tips!
How do I know if my child has dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning difference that is man made. It only showed up as a deficit when there was mass use of certain languages. Generally, dyslexia is commonly seen in most classrooms and in a regular classroom of 30, up to 4-5 could be dyslexic. Not only is it difficult to translate letters to sound, but also to decode longer words , read and spell. Some other signs of dyslexia could be not doing well with time management, money calculations, and confusing left and right. Dyslexics also are great problem solvers and have the ability to earn better than their neurotypical counterparts. Here is a free screener on our resource page.
Do I have adult ADHD?
Will add a screener in our resources but I usually say that it's been easy to miss for many parents whose children have had a formal diagnosis. I also say that there are so many parents who are still figuring things out and need more support by getting an official diagnosis. I explain that it costs a substantial amount to get an official diagnosis. I also say there are ADHD coaches out there and let them know the names if they're interested.  Here's a podcast I might send them to https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wearetheadhdfamily
Here's an example for coaching:

What qualifications do Edify tutors have?
Edify tutors are specially trained and experienced in working with neurodivergent children, utilizing tailored teaching techniques depending on your child’s needs to support and nurture their potential. They have years and experiences and certifications including training at accredited Canadian institutions in Education or a Mental Health Related field, Classroom experience in Canada, 3 years of experience working with kids like ours, and vetted references. All Edify approved tutors take our unique training programs to help each child reach their potential faster. If you're interested in joining our team, you can apply at this link.
What is an Individualized Education Plan?
An Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, varies from Country to Country, and State to State. All IEPs include possible goals, amendments, modifications, strategies, & supports needed to succeed at school. Our integration of IEP goals are based on families. What we can agree on is that all IEPs should help a child succeed. In the US, IEPs are legal documents that were mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Some IEPs can also state what participation is necessary for standardized tests. Most IEPs could be reviewed at least once yearly with a team that could include, parents, teachers, administration, special ed., resource teacher, and maybe even the student.
How does personalized tutoring benefit my child?
We know how your child learns best. Our tutors have classroom experience, and education and have passed the Edify approval process. Part of getting approved as an Edify tutor includes being neuro-affirmative. Many educators are still learning about the strengths that each child has. At Edify, we take the time to find the best match so you don't have to. What you will find is that your children are happy to learn with their Edify match. They will love learning in less than 90 days! Also, we know that over time, your child will have the confidence to learn differently and see their progress academically. Their confidence will grow and their grades will improve.

As we continue to help children learn by curating the best learning materials available with our partner agencies, use your child's interests, use best practice tools, all in a neuroaffirmative foundation, we aim to be the difference your child needs to succeed.

At Edify, we customize our one-on-one tutoring plans to meet the unique strengths and needs of neurodivergent children, promoting confidence and a love for learning. Personalized tutoring ensures that your child receives individualized attention, boosting their self-esteem, academic performance, and socio-emotional well-being.
Is Edify suitable for children with varying degrees of neurodivergence?
Yes. Edify is designed to help neurodivergent children thrive by focusing on their strengths, fostering curiosity, and building confidence through engaging and adaptive learning approaches. Edify caters to a wide range of neurodivergent children, offering tailored support that adapts to each child's unique challenges and strengths.

If there is a lack of a match available, we will let you know of our waitlist program so we can stand behind the best match possible.
How is my child paired with a tutor, and how can they best adjust to lessons?
We match tutors with students based on the tutor’s strengths, scheduled availability, and the student’s specific learning needs, creating the best possible learning environment.


After matching, we will send you an email about who your tutor is, details about Edify mentorship, any books or materials we can order for you, and to sign up for the 3rd party scheduling app (TutorBird). The first meeting you have with your tutor will be a Meet & Greet, which will allow us to get to know your child's preferences, behaviors, and interests. If this initial meeting goes well, you will continue to have tutoring sessions weekly. Otherwise, if you don’t believe you and your child are a good fit with the tutor, you also have the option to request a new match.
How are tutoring sessions structured at Edify?

Our one-on-one sessions are customized to fit your child's learning style and pace, ensuring that each lesson is engaging, meaningful, and productive.

You will receive a weekly reminder for each session by text (SMS) and/or email. Most of our sessions are 45-60 minutes long depending on the frequency of your chosen plans.

  • Students are encouraged to take notes by hand if possible. If they are not, let us know if we can get an AI notetaker app to help with taking notes and memory recall.
  • Students might have physical notebooks, incentives like fidget spinners or other approved materials, lego, 3D materials, or other motivational learning materials to help your child love learning
  • Students might receive reminders, exercises, and check ins to maintain learning
  • Students may have combined apps to help have a valuable curation of learning material to increase learning capabilities - for example, there may be a dyslexia app used during our session
  • Tutors may present SEL videos from our approved lesson plan list that help with topics such as perfectionism, learning math, doing difficult things, being bullied, managing stress and emotions
  • Students might be encouraged to keep the camera on if possible
  • Students might be asked to take physical breaks after 10-15 minutes
  • Students may be asked to have bio breaks before sessions
  • Students might be shown advocacy language such as , " I need a break," or "I'm feeling anxious right now - can we do this later?" or "I'm feeling overwhelmed, can we break this into simpler steps?"
  • Families can gain access to videos online of recorded sessions to review
  • Notes are provided and can be accessed 24/7
What kind of progress can I expect to see in my child?
Parents often observe significant improvements in their child’s confidence, enthusiasm for learning, problem-solving skills, and overall academic performance and for many as little as 3 months. We recommend working with an Edify approved tutor match for 3 months to give a full opportunity to see growth.
What resources are available for parents of neurodivergent children?
Numerous resources, including support groups, specialized online communities, local advocacy organizations, and books on neurodivergence, offer valuable guidance and support for parents. We recommend looking into our resource page for more information on this!
How do I advocate for my neurodivergent child's needs at school?
Start by communicating with teachers and school administrators, requesting assessments if necessary. You may develop an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan with us to ensure your child receives appropriate accommodations and support!
What are effective strategies for helping my child with executive function challenges?
Teaching organizational skills, using visual aids like calendars and checklists, setting clear goals, and practicing time-management techniques can significantly improve your child's executive function abilities.
