About Us
Minds-On is more than academic assistance.
We provide learning and mentorship opportunities for marginalized groups from kindergarten through post-secondary education. Our programs focus primarily on STEAM—science, technology, engineering, art, and math—offered year-round to support academic growth, confidence, and equitable access to education.
We have been collaborating with the local school board for several years and continue to offer subsidized tutoring services virtually and in-person to students in underserved communities.
At Minds On
We believe that...
by communicating openly with parents about their children's well-being and progress, we are laying a solid foundation to build strong relationships between community members and educators. We want to continue helping families connect beyond academics with other families through fun events (e.g., STEAM, music, math games).
Empowering Every Student to Thrive
Opening Doors Through Math...
At Minds-On, our mission is to create equitable access to STEM education by breaking down barriers and fostering inclusive learning environments. We empower students to build confidence, embrace cultural awareness, and take ownership of their learning through personalized, student-centred approaches. By supporting both academic success and overall well-being, we aim to prepare future leaders with the tools and resilience to thrive in their communities and beyond.
Achieving Equity
Our society...
can no longer ignore the systemic injustices and inequities that marginalized people face daily in numerous sectors, one of which is education. Institutional change is necessary, especially for our Black and Indigenous youth. However, we must also take measures today to address the imminent need to reduce risk factors for all students. As a grassroots organization, our primary objectives are outlined more in detail below:
Cross-Fading®: Where Learning Meets Opportunity
Cross-Fading® is our unique approach to student success, blending academic support, mentorship, and real-world experience into one continuous pathway. Just as cross-fading in music creates a seamless transition between tracks, our program ensures students move smoothly from learning to application, building confidence and purpose at every stage. More than tutoring, Cross-Fading® is a holistic journey that makes education accessible through creative, engaging instruction in subjects like math. Using multiple modalities, online, in-person, one-to-one, and group sessions, paired with adaptive technology and personalized feedback, we empower students to learn at their own pace and thrive in school, career, and community.
While providing learning opportunities, our seminars and events also promote cultural and social awareness. We work to combat disengagement in addition to promoting self-confidence, life skills, and a growth mindset in all youth in a supervised virtual setting.
We also provide a crucial opportunity for educators to delve deeper into the lives of their students; understanding students' backgrounds, cultures, circumstances, and barriers will help to reduce teacher bias, while also promoting student success.
Responsive and Relevant
Safe Spaces. Purposeful Learning. Inclusive Futures.
Minds-On champions human rights by creating safe, inclusive spaces, physical and virtual, where every child feels respected and valued, regardless of creed, faith, gender, race, or identity. Our programs cultivate a purposeful mindset, encouraging learners to embrace challenges with confidence and compassion. Beyond academics, we empower youth and adults to become agents of change, fostering emotional well-being and a sense of belonging while building strong academic identities.
