Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

At Calgary Learning we realize that quality of teaching and tutoring demands more than just academic expertise on the part of the teachers and tutors. The key to establishing a foundation for learning development is a warm and positive relationship with students without fostering dependency. We provide them with clear structure, techniques, and strategies to approach challenging material. By stimulating the learning process, we are able to help students gain the self-awareness needed to succeed in applying strategies independently.

Teachers and Tutors at Calgary Learning focus on identifying the students’ strengths while addressing the areas that need attention.  Our focus is a holistic approach to the total learning process, rather than solely on deficits.  CLI students are motivated to learn and enjoy tackling challenging assignments.

Our History

Our History

In 1995 Sherma Jeffrey-Ryan started with the vision of reaching and empowering children through education. First, she focused on the underprivileged children who were failing in the traditional school system. She started tutoring at home and she quickly realized that the need was greater than she had envisioned.  Later, Calgary Learning Institute moved to a larger educational facility with a computer lab and a library to accommodate and enhance the learning experience of many students.

In 2010 CLI partnered with a testing company to deliver the MCAT, and after a few years, the company expanded to add more tests. Today Calgary Learning has two fully equipped computer labs with 25 networked computers. It is a Select Testing Site for Pearson Vue and a preferred site for PAN, PSI, Kryterion, Prometric, Scranton, and Assessment Systems. The company has also added external university and college proctoring services and online Information Technology online courses, practice tests, and labs. We provide excellent quality training and testing experience for all students.
