Owner​ of Sunbeam Learning Co.
Hey there,
I'm Marissa!
I’m an Ontario certified educator with a background in psychology and child development. I started Sunbeam Learning Co. after seeing too many capable students fall through the cracks of a one-size-fits-all system. Every child learns differently, yet most are taught and assessed the same way. I believe learning should feel personal, supportive, and rooted in understanding how each child learns best.​
​
At Sunbeam, we focus on more than grades. We help students build confidence, develop effective learning strategies, and grow skills that support them across subjects and school years.
It's time for a new standard
​Most tutoring focuses on grades.​
​
At Sunbeam, we believe learning goes beyond the classroom. Our approach supports not just academic growth, but cognitive strategies, wellness, and the confidence students need to learn independently, in any subject or grade.
Our Framework
Every Sunbeam program is built on three interconnected pillars.
Cognition
Strengthening executive functions, study skills, and work habits
Wellness
Wellness checks, mindfulness, and mental health best practices
Academics
Gaining a thorough understanding of academic concepts
What Makes Us Different
Your child comes first
Every learner is unique. We take the time to understand each child’s strengths, challenges, and goals so support always feels personal, thoughtful, and aligned with who they are, not just what they’re working on.
Growth beyond grades
Progress isn’t only measured by report cards. We focus on confidence, learning strategies, and mindset, helping students understand how they learn so growth carries across subjects and school years.
Support that fits real life
Families are busy. Our approach is designed to be flexible, responsive, and sustainable, so learning support can fit into real schedules without adding stress.
Our Purpose
Our mission is to support learners through personalized, whole-child education that builds confidence, strengthens learning strategies, and honours how each child learns.
Our vision is a learning experience where students feel understood, capable, and supported, both in the classroom and beyond its walls.
