Driven by Empowering Students

A letter from WiseOwl Director, Kara Shideler

Our Team

We have a dedicated staff with a wealth of experience to match our client needs. In addition to the education and experience that they bring them, WiseOwl's tutors and academic coaches receive training to conduct sessions with a client focus that supports individual success.

I have been offering specialized learning assistance for students in the Calgary area for over 20 years and have helped hundreds of students. I am so grateful to be part of your learning journey whether personally or in the capable hands of my awesome team. While WiseOwl has tools to meet many students needs, I personally specialize in clients experiencing anxiety, difficulty with executive functioning (often associated with ADHD, ASD, depression and trauma), and ESL students.

With my background in both neuroscience and psychology I have developed a system to be able to help learners understand their unique brains and learning.

All WiseOwl sessions are individualized to a client’s needs and my holistic approach to learning respects every learner’s emotional experience. WiseOwl services are offered both online and in person to suit a variety of preferences. I am eager to get to know you an help your student along their path.

Warmest regards,

Kara
