Nurturing Minds of Students Sunbeam Learning, a new tutoring service in St. Thomas, offers a unique approach to education, focusing on cognitive, wellness, and academic growth. Founded by Marissa Knight, an experienced educator with a B.A., B.Ed., ECE, and minors in Psychology and Children Studies, Sunbeam Learning addresses each student's unique needs. "I’ve seen many students who simply do not fit into the ‘box’ of their education system and end up falling behind or having their love for learning stripped away," says Marissa. "Each student is unique, and their learning experiences should reflect that."

Sunbeam Learning offers one-on-one, fully customized sessions for students from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The service includes comprehensive assessments with academic, wellness, and cognitive components. Based on the assessment results, each student receives a personalized learning plan with strategies tailored to their strengths and challenges. “These plans include practical steps that can be implemented in school, at home and during sessions,” Marissa continues. “They are particularly beneficial for students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), helping them advocate for necessary supports in school.” Sunbeam Learning’s focus on cognitive, wellness, and academic support differentiates it from traditional tutoring services. “While it is important to have good grades, there is more to success than passing a test,” Marissa emphasizes. “We nurture a love for learning by supporting them as a whole child, not just an academic.” While Sunbeam Learning specializes in Math and English, its programs support students across various subjects and needs. Marissa highlights that students who underperform or are seen as ‘average’ are an excellent fit for their programs, as well as those with exceptionalities that do not require intensive intervention. Parents might consider Sunbeam Learning if their child lacks motivation in school, has lost their love for learning, or struggles in multiple subjects. Marissa believes in the power of one-on- one assistance. “Studies show that it only takes one positive role model to influence the course of a child’s life,” she says. “That is the experience we provide by offering one-on-one support.” Marissa is passionate about reigniting the love for learning in students. “I am incredibly thankful to establish Sunbeam Learning in this community and to witness the lasting impacts of our services.” To learn more about Sunbeam Learning, or to book a consultation with Marissa, go to their website www.Sunbeamlearning.com. Discover for yourself -- Sunbeam Learning is much more than just a tutoring service; it is a place where students can thrive and develop a lifelong love for learning.
