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.

Hello!  I'm Yvonne and I'm an instructor for ARI Learning. 

I have a Bachelor of Music from McGill University and am now working on my microMaster's in Distance Education from the University of Maryland. I love learning and see it as something I will do for the rest of my life. I'm really interested in making and keeping places for students of all abilities because I think neuroaffirming settings are important for every student's mental health. My years of online teaching have provided me with the experience to tailor our offerings to any learner.
