Who it suits
Is this the right course?
Kids who cannot start
Students who sit down to work and somehow forty minutes have gone. Real time goes on the first two minutes of a task.
Kids who worry beforehand
Students who go blank before a test or a presentation and want something practical to do about it.
Kids losing time to screens
Students old enough to notice their attention is being pulled, and interested in doing something about it.
What it covers
Across ten classes
Every class is hands on. Students make, test and present something live rather than sitting through a lesson. Social and emotional skills are built into how classes run: listening, giving feedback kindly, handling nerves, and making decisions they can explain.
Two levels
The same course, pitched for the age
Both levels run a full hour. What changes is the depth, the support, and what students hand in at the end.
Juniors · Grades 3 to 5
Getting started and settling down
Concrete and playful. Techniques are tried as short activities in class, and students track what worked in their own words rather than being told what should help.
Seniors · Grades 6 to 8
Attention under pressure
Aimed at students facing real workload. Study routines, phone habits and pre test nerves, with peer discussion about what genuinely works.
Pricing
Ten classes, three ways to take it
Ten classes of one hour each. All prices in Canadian dollars. Any tax that applies is added at checkout based on where you live.

Two or three students
Runs with as few as two, so there is no waiting for a group to fill. Gentler for a student who finds groups hard.

Private
$749
$75 a class
Entirely paced around your child. Worth knowing that some of this course depends on an audience, so we use family for the final presentation.
Ask about this2026
The first cohorts start in October 2026. Times are set once we know who is joining, so tell us which evenings or weekend mornings suit and we will match your child to a cohort. Discounts available for siblings, friends enrolling together, and a second course in the same term.
What a class feels like
Students try techniques on themselves and keep the ones that work. Nothing is handed down as a rule to follow, which is exactly why they stick with it afterwards.
Between classes
No worksheets. Students get one short activity challenge each week, usually around twenty minutes, and bring the result back to share with the group.
Anything needed is a simple household item, and we tell you in advance. There is nothing to buy.
