Mindful Learning

About me

My name is Aliya. I graduated from McGill University in 2024 and completed high school in Montreal at Lower Canada College.

I’ve been working in education for nearly a decade, supporting students from elementary to high school across a variety of subjects. My approach focuses on clear communication, building confidence, and developing strong, sustainable learning habits. I also work with students to strengthen executive functioning skills like time management, organization, and goal setting.

I’m passionate about helping students feel confident and capable in their learning. With the right support, I believe every student can reach their full potential.

About Mindful Learning

Vision

I created Mindful Learning as a platform to introduce myself and share my work with learners and families. I envision a world where every individual is empowered to actively engage in their learning journey, grow with confidence, and build a lifelong love for education. My goal is to offer personalized support that meets each learner’s unique needs and to create the best possible learning experience. I hope to fuel curiosity, foster self-belief, and help learners develop the skills they need for future success.

My Philosophy

I believe that with the right tools and support, every learner can reach their full potential. My approach is rooted in care, open communication, and a genuine commitment to helping each student grow academically and personally. I focus on building confidence, nurturing individual strengths, and creating supportive environments where learners feel safe, motivated, and heard. Education is more than academics—it’s about long-term growth, resilience, and discovering one’s own path.

Small Group Learning

Adult Literacy (A Hope For The Future)

Sometimes it’s just easier to come get help with a few friends—and that’s exactly why I offer small group learning. These sessions give students the chance to work alongside their peers in a relaxed and supportive setting. Whether it's reviewing for a test, working through tricky homework, or just needing a space to ask questions, small group learning creates a space where everyone can share ideas, build confidence, and learn from one another. It’s a more personal and collaborative approach that makes learning feel less intimidating and a lot more enjoyable.
