Every session

Calm. Structured. One child at a time.

Who we help

When the classroom alone isn't enough.

Tadpole supports children aged roughly 4 to 11 whose learning needs ask for something more specific — and the families supporting them.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Predictable, structured 1:1 work tuned to your child's learning and sensory needs.

ADHD

Short, focused sessions with clear expectations and built-in motivation.

Learning disabilities

Mastery-based reading, writing and math using Direct Instruction.

Language delays

Oral and receptive language support for ages 4–7, in a school-ready context.

What we offer

Six services,
one shared philosophy.

Every child is able to learn and make significant progress — when the approach, the motivation, and the environment all fit them.

  • Tutoring (K–Grade 5)
  • School readiness (JK–Gr 2)
  • Language skills (ages 4–7)
  • Behaviour consultations
  • Ongoing behaviour support
  • Free 15-min initial call

Every child is able to learn and make significant progress, no matter where we start. Some kids need a very different approach, different motivation, and different evaluation.
