Learning @ Home

We're joined by Dr. Diane Vetter, who is the Course Director for the Faculty of Education at York University. Diane holds a PhD in Education with research interests in oral language and learning, and has also published on the topics of Oral Language, Inclusive Learning and Cross-Curricular Infusion.
Diane gives advice and recommendations on how parents can bring learning to life through environmental print & community activities, rich talk, using time in the car with your kids to have meaningful discussions, and how to think critically about messages in the media.

With students out of school over the summer months, it’s important that learning continues to ensure they progress academically rather than be affected by summer learning loss. We discuss some fun and easy educational activities your child can do during the summer months!

Tutor Doctor President, Frank Milner, joins our host Gilbert Cadiz and co-host Ryzwana Hafiz, to talk about how one-to-one tutoring changed his kids' lives. With two different needs - his daughter struggling with math and his son wanting to excel even further - he explains the benefits of getting a tutor in very different situations, and how this not only helped with his children's academics, but also how this extra support helped them as a family as well.

Welcome to Tutor Doctor's new podcast, Learning@Home! In our very first episode our host, Gilbert Cadiz, tells you a bit about himself as well as what to expect from this educational podcast series.

We know that everyone can learn, but everyone learns differently. This is where learning styles come in. Becky Ward, Education Specialist at Tutor Doctor Head Office, talks with host Gil Cadiz about what learning styles are and the types of activities and strategies that parents can use to engage their children in learning based on their dominant learning style.
