Therapeutic Tutoring

Is your child struggling at school?

  • Are they behind in reading or math?

  • Are you pulling your hair out because you don’t know what to do?

Karen, of Swift Learning Solutions, is a therapeutic tutor with 35 years experience providing innovative solutions to help children who struggle with reading, writing, spelling or math.

Every child can learn to read, write, spell and do math well. They just need someone to take the time, adapt to their learning needs, and teach them the practical skills for math and English. This makes actual changes in the brain which makes learning easier. Mastering these basic skills in reading and math also builds self-confidence and that makes all the difference.

If children could solve this problem for themselves, they would. Children who struggle need an adult to take responsibility for their learning. Karen only cares about results. Is your child learning successfully or not? If not, Karen will be determined to find or create a solution that works.

You’ll know, within one month, if this is the solution you’ve been looking for. Most parents says their child’s confidence and willingness to try improves in the first month. Contact Karen today for a free consultation to see if she might be a good fit for your family. Even if you’ve tried other tutoring services, don’t give up. Karen, of Swift Learning Solutions, offers a unique service, inventing and creating solutions that make all the difference.





How does Karen of Swift Learning Solutions help?

Karen is a therapeutic tutor and has specialized training in the Orton-Gillingham approach for teaching reading, writing and spelling to students who struggle to learn, such as those with dyslexia. She also studied Montessori and has continued to follow neuroscience. With 35 years of experience, she has learned the most from the children themselves, becoming adept at working with all kinds of students, even the most challenging.

Karen has a unique perspective on behaviour and anxiety issues that are a result of struggling to learn at school. When children are acting out, instead of seeing the behaviour or the child as the problem, Karen seeks to discover what the child is trying to communicate. If the child could use their words, they would. By paying attention to the child’s behaviour and seeking, with the parents, to understand the meaning behind it, solutions can be found. Once the problem that the child is experiencing is resolved, the behaviour changes. She has found this to be true for anxiety issues as well.

All children can learn. Reading and math aren’t rocket science. Karen offers proven solutions to individual learning needs that get results. Children learn, let go of their fears and frustrations and gain confidence while learning to read or do math.

How Karen helps:

  • Starting with Orton-Gillingham and Montessori tools and techniques where appropriate

  • Inventing original and unique tools and techniques when needed to ensure successful learning

  • Using the student’s strengths and preferences to help them learn

  • Providing reassurance that the responsibility for learning is on Karen, so your child is then able to relax, trust and learn

  • Instruction that creates a deep understanding of math, reading, writing and/or spelling in each student

  • Providing a little bit of daily repetition to help students remember what they’re learning

  • Detecting the things that are getting in the way of success and solving them, whether that is the student’s belief that they “can’t” learn, communication issues, learning needs, emotional or behavioural concerns.

This is different from the government curriculum. Karen follows the rule of doing something different in order to get different results. She’lll take your child back to the basics, discover what fundamental skills your child has missed and help them learn each step. As they proceed, she builds bridges between the fundamental skills your child will be learning and the school curriculum. You’ll notice some improvement in their confidence and willingness to try within one month.

Hundreds of children have benefited from tutoring with Karen at Swift Learning Solutions. Don’t delay. Email Karen today.

Hi, I’m Karen Swift. Welcome to Swift Learning Solutions.

I’m an Orton-Gillingham therapeutic tutor specializing in math and reading with primary, elementary and middle school students. I’ve been doing this for 35 years. What I’ve discovered is that every child is unique and the more I can adapt to their individual learning needs, the faster and easier they’ll learn.

At first, my main focus is to build trust. We begin right away with finding some things your child has already learned and some things they don’t know. We’ll get to work on the missing pieces of the pie while developing a lovely relationship. I welcome all of their acting out behaviours or maybe your child gets anxious and withdraws. Whatever their reaction to learning, they weren’t born like that. If I can find a way to help tear down the walls, very gently, your child can learn anything. Trust is the first step.

I welcome all feedback from you and the rest of your family. The more we can work together as a team, the faster your child can learn and relax. You have successfully taught your child to walk, talk, dress, and much more. You learned how to adapt to your child. This is all helpful information for me. Please don’t be shy. Feel free to tell me anything you feel isn’t working for your child and make suggestions as to how I can do better. I look forward to working with you.

The change in my son has been dramatic. Not long ago we had tears every morning before school and when I picked him up. Every day! I was so mad! I don’t know what magic she has but he’s okay now. He’s enjoying his life.

In a few short months, my daughter is doing her homework successfully. She doesn’t fight about having to do math. She’s not as frustrated at school anymore and we’re feeling so relieved about how she’s doing. Our lives are very different now compared to how things were not long ago. Karen’s methods are easy and they’re definitely worth it!

My son is having so much fun with reading. Karen knows how to help him his way. He used to hate anything to do with it and now I find him with his nose in a book. I can’t tell her how grateful I am!
— TERESA, VICTORIA BC
My son was terrified of math! He would get hysterical at the mere mention of it. Karen helped us through the whole process. Now my son is so proud of himself and what he can do in math. We’ve come a long way. Overcoming his fear has made a big difference for all of us!
— Pat, Victoria, BC
My daughter is homeschooled because of misbehaviour. Karen helped us to see that she’s gifted and needs to be challenged. She’s helping us to keep her busy both physically and academically and she’s thriving. She loves it.
