About Evoke Learning
Evoke is a learning and wellness centre that supports students striving to achieve their full academic potential and enhance their social-emotional well-being. Our approach is holistic. As a client-centred service, we understand that everyone’s learning journey is unique, and we consider the student to be the expert in their own life.
Evoke works with many types of students, including:
· Students who are struggling academically.
· Individuals diagnosed with learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD, and/or giftedness.
· Students who are underperforming and have much greater potential to achieve their goals.

· Students who are capable of completing academic work but need to acquire strategies and time management skills to increase their success.
· Students with extraordinary goals.
If you are inspired, talented and motivated to be a partner and role model that helps students see and achieve their fullest potential, we offer an environment that will allow you to thrive and grow personally and professionally, while truly making a difference in the lives of the students you work with.
