Meet Suzanne Allan
Hello! I'm Suzanne Allan, founder and owner of Connect To Learn.
Since establishing Connect To Learn in 2012, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of children and teens discover that they can become successful learners with the right support, strategies, and encouragement.
My educational journey began at Simon Fraser University, where I studied with the goal of becoming a teacher. It was there that I developed a passion for psychology and learning differences, leading me to specialize in supporting students with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and other learning challenges.
I later became certified in Orton-Gillingham, and helping struggling readers develop confidence and strong literacy skills quickly became my passion.
At Connect To Learn, we provide individualized and small-group instruction tailored to each student's unique learning needs. We believe that every student can succeed when they are taught in a way that works for them.
Every child learns differently. My goal is to help each student discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed—in school and in life.
