What clients are saying about Owl Education

Craig Eversfield

“At the beginning of the school year, my son began attending a new school. He was anxious and felt isolated, not having built any solid friendships. He was having difficulties in math and especially joining in on any group projects. I contacted a tutoring company, explained my situation and was assigned Gigi as his tutor.

Gigi's immediate kindness and supportive teaching style over several weeks gave my son practical solutions and confidence to start enjoying math. Feeling more confident with schoolwork allowed him to relax and reach out and eventually to develop some solid friendships. He also realized it was okay to ask for help.

I am happy to say that my son has an A in Math this year, and has A's and B's in his other subjects. Gigi was a perfect fit for my son's challenges. I highly recommend Gigi as a tutor and counsellor.

Thank you, Gigi, you have been much appreciated."

“Our family moved from a small town in interior BC to Victoria a couple years ago. Needless to say, uprooting and adjusting to a new city was really difficult, especially for my twelve year-old daughter. Every morning was a battle to get her out the door. She didn't seem to be making new friends and was falling further and further behind in school.

Gigi was recommended to me by a parent at my daughter’s middle school. My daughter met with Gigi twice a week for two months. Gigi is extremely bright, caring… and talented! She easily connected with my daughter and worked so well with her… and with me.

Over the course of the two months, my daughter completely turned around. Thank you, Gigi. I can’t recommend you enough!”

“I came to Canada from China in Grade 9. At that time, my proficiency in English was a big barrier for me to get good grades. However, things got much better after I met Gigi. Our sessions started in the spring of 2016. During the past 1.5 years, we have done lots of practice, including on essay writing, grammar, vocabulary, and her editing of my essays always inspired me to push myself to improve my English skills.

Gigi also helped me a lot on preparing my university applications and interviews. To my delight, I eventually got in to my dream university! I wouldn't be myself today without Gigi's patient and super supportive assistance.

I will always miss the meetings we have had together"

“When I exhausted myself... Too many people telling me where to go and how to do it, I found Gigi as a tutor. It's not that I had any doubt, I had to keep trying because I believe. I thank a power greater than ourselves. I learn, Gigi teaches. Most of all, I am beyond words to express just how thankful I am.

Thank you, Gigi. You are a great person and one heck of a tutor!”

"Gigi’s the best! She’s kind, compassionate, and diligent. Our 8 year-old daughter has been seeing her for two years now. Gigi was recommended by the counsellor at her school. At that time, my husband and I were separating and our daughter was experiencing a high level of anxiety about the transition. Gigi supported her through the divorce. Gigi taught her amazing tools and provided a safe place for her to share, and work though her experiences and feelings, She has continued to see Gigi. It’s comforting to all of us that our daughter has a safe, reliable place to go and learn social-emotional skills; to express and work through day-to-day, as well as any significant challenges she encounters."
