Agincourt Learning made a significant impact in my life. My parents enrolled me at Agincourt Learning when I was in grade 8. If my parents didn’t send me here, I wouldn’t know where I would be nor would I be able to cope with my failures. Agincourt Learning changed me quite a bit over the past four years.
Before, I was an extremely short-tempered kid with little patience and kind of anti-social. I used to get angry at people teasing me, very easily. I called this a short-fuse while my friends called this an anger management problem. Nowadays, I’m a lot calmer and more tolerant to teasing. I would also call myself more open-minded because I now tend to look at both sides of the opposition before reacting. I’m also not prone to using excessive violence to deal with my problems. Now, I try to resolve conflicts with others and myself by talking in a more reasonable manner. My teacher Rennie, also helped me with my own self-confidence. Before I came here, I was always worrying about my progress and where I would go. Hate to admit this. but perhaps video gaming is my way of running from my problems. Now I will come to terms with my mistake, learn from it, and move on. In my education, Rennie helped me improve immensely. Before, I was sitting around a 60-70% average before I came here;
Rennie told me I was probably 5 grades behind at that time. He helped me go over the things I have trouble with and develop strategies on how to overcome them. Rennie also introduced me to the visualizing program, which helped improve on my attitude and foundation in education greatly. It also improves on my creativity, as I now am always coming up with several vivid mental pictures. It’s because of Rennie’s care, diligence, and faith over a student like me that brought me up to the 80-90s, even to 97 mark in one of my subjects. It’s because of Rennie; I started to seriously think on my true calling, my weakness, and my strength. His learning centre also introduced me to the wonderful friends I have now. Every single one of my friends all contributed to help me understand myself better than before. It’s because of this; I now know what “living” is truly all about.
Jamie W. Grade 12
Before I enrolled at Agincourt Learning my grades were extremely poor and there was no chance of me getting into college as the school I used to attend had a high rate of drop outs and low percentage of students ever attending college. I thought that I would end up working at a retail store for the rest of my life. Agincourt Learning helped me steadily increase my grade level, become more organized, practice good habits for example do not skip work that you do not understand and being dedicated to my work. Now I’m at Seneca College enrolled in heating ventilation air condition program (HVAC).
William H. College
Agincourt Learning helped me review my mistakes in Math, English, Reading Comprehension and Writing. Before coming to Agincourt Learning, I was not doing well in school because I wasn’t organized and I was missing many skills. Now I am reviewing my mistakes and improving in school. School is easy for me now!
Shanthosh P. Grade 4
Agincourt Learning’s online lessons helped me with mental math, measurement, geometry and language. The teacher showed me that life has many obstacles and you require knowledge and intelligence to guide you through the different stages of life. I learned to be more organized with my knapsack before it was like a jungle in there and now I have learned to be more neat, tidy and organized.
