“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
— Benjamin Franklin
How does this work?
More than one in five Canadian adults struggle with basic literacy and public speaking. Almost half of all Canadian adults (49%) struggle with the basic literacy required for their jobs. The shame that people often feel about these challenges can prevent them from seeking help or understanding how to turn things around.
The Curiosity Garden uses a multi-modal method that combines years of teaching, music, broadcasting, and writing/editing experience. We re-acquaint you with the childlike enthusiasm that is so often trained out of us at a young age, nurture it in a realistic and shame-free setting, and help you improve your neuroplasticity, learning outcomes, and self-confidence.
Everyone deserves to live and thrive with enthusiasm, wonder, and a joy in learning.
