At Learn & Lead, Yolande and her team believe that each child is unique.

The Specialized Tutoring Program is designed for students in primary and early secondary school and offers support in English, math, critical thinking and study skills.
The first step is to have an initial consultation and assessment session with Yolande. During this session, Yolande will spend some time with you and your child to ensure clarity on the needs of your child, your expectations and to explain and answer any questions related to the services provided through the Specialized Tutoring Program. After this consultation and assessment, your child’s sessions will be scheduled and the Learn and Lead team will begin to develop their personal learning plan for success!
The cost of the initial consultation is $100.00. Individual classes are $55/ hr. The frequency of these classes is determined based on your needs discussed at our consultation and based on our tutor availability.
Once your child begins classes at Learn and Lead, you will receive monthly invoices. Payments are due at the first session of the month. All cancelled classes must be cancelled 24hrs in advance to ensure that you receive a credit for the missed class. In the event of illness, once the class is cancelled by 8:30am in the morning, you will also receive a credit.
After the submission of a contact form, you will be contacted to book your initial consultation.

Parent - Specialized Tutoring Program
When my son was about four years old, he was a very hyperactive child and a friend recommended Mrs. Yolande Robinson to me. After the very first two visits, I saw a difference in my son's behavior. Yolande has a very special way with the kids. I love the way she sees each child for their own individuality, the way she nurtures each child, how she focuses on the child’s strengths and work on their weaknesses. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of a child’s educational life. She cares about the success of each child. Thank you so very much for your expertise and your usual attention you gave to my son. I cannot be appreciative enough to Mrs. Yolande Robinson for all she has done in the development my son's life and her parental coaching."
