About Us
Alight means to set fire, to burn, to shine brightly.
“The story began when I (Walter) immigrated to Canada in 2010. After becoming frustrated with the lack of comprehensive academic support as I transitioned from school to school, to later; hired as a tutor by an institute but seeing how mis-handled kids were first-hand. All these experiences set a fire inside him: one day I will launch a Wholistic Education Experience that would not only meet the academic needs of students, but would also focus on self-development and emotional wellness to help students eliminate roadblocks to reach their max potential!”
