About Us

Hi! I’m Evgeniya Yael — a tutor, special needs mom, and homeschool mentor based in Toronto, Canada.

I grew up in Russia and was a straight-A student all my school years. In the 2000s, I graduated with honours, majoring in math and computer science. After working in IT for several years, I met my husband and moved to Toronto.

But motherhood changed my life more than I ever could have imagined. Our daughter developed serious medical issues at just 11 months old, and we spent an entire year between hospitals. Naturally, I became her full-time caregiver.

Thankfully, by 2016, life had settled a little, and I returned to tutoring — a passion I’ve had since my school years. The following year, we began homeschooling, embracing a flexible, bilingual, and special needs-friendly approach.

In early 2020, during the first months of the pandemic and lockdowns, countless people reached out with urgent questions about learning at home. Many questions repeated, so I began sharing tips and answers on my personal Facebook page. Eventually, started a group and a page, that led to the idea for this blog. I even purchased the domain in the summer of 2020!
