Testimonials:

Trevor’s last workshop at Runnymede PS had a record turn out, and response from Runnymede parents was overwhelmingly positive.  Here is what some had to say about Trevor’s workshop:

“Mr. Brown was a great speaker and I feel a lot more confident in supporting my grade 1 in math. Thank you!!!”

“I think this was IMMENSELY valuable for bringing the gap between TODAY’S math homework versus what we were historically taught with a completely different mindset  (and UNDERSTANDING WHY!!!!)”
