About me
My name is Aliya, I’m a graduate of McGill University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a Minor in Economics in May 2024.
Currently, I’m furthering my professional development by taking the Canadian Securities Course and plan to return to school for the fall of 2025.
I completed my high school and Pre-University education in Montreal, where I earned my IB Diploma and graduated with honors. I’ve been tutoring since I was in grade 10, when I started to do peer tutoring at my high school, helping young students. Since then, I have worked with students from elementary to university in various subjects both independently and with tutoring companies. I’ve worked as a student shadow, supporting students with anxiety by providing resources to build their confidence and participation both inside and outside the classroom. More recently, I have started to act as an executive coach for elementary to high school , guiding students in developing executive skills such as time management, goal setting, and organizational strategies. I also offer support for homeschooling families with a flexible schedule. I truly believe that with the right tools and support, every student has
the potential to succeed and I’m excited to help students reach their
full potential and feel confident in their academic journey.
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.
