Writing Room: Poetry, Summaries, Creative, Descriptive Writing and More!

Hello! My name is Carly, and I am the founder of ARI Learning.

I’m a proud graduate of the University of Victoria’s School of Child and Youth Care. I have always been passionate about working with children and youth, and this degree program provided me with knowledge of the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of young people. When teaching, I use a multidisciplinary approach, focused on relationship building, to support holistic development alongside academic achievement. 

In addition to my formal education, I’ve also gained valuable experience through my seven years of online teaching. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students and families, who have taught me the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment. It was through building relationships with my learners and their parents that I realized my own ADHD, the unknown reason why improving education is so important to me. 

As an educator, I am dedicated to providing an inclusive learning environment that meets the needs of all learners. I believe that every student has the right to access quality education that is tailored to their unique abilities and learning styles.

This means creating classrooms that are welcoming, safe, and respectful of all students, in ways that enhance their abilities & neuro-specializations. 

Hi! My name is Yvonne and I have been working with Carly for years now.  I really enjoy teaching this class and making writing fun!  I am a graduate of McGill University with a B.Mus with a concentration in Electronic Music and Jazz Voice. I completed my first year of Education before hitting the road as a musician.  Now I'm a homeschooling mom with two great kids.  Scribing, scaffolding, finding new ways to gain understanding of a subject are all a part of the MicroMasters I'm completing in 2025 through the University of Maryland in Instructional Design.  I've been a songwriter, technical writer, fiction writer (I like creating Twine Novels: interactive branching narratives) and an instructor for many years now.  I hope to inspire your learner to enjoy writing!
