Our Story

In 2005, responding to the need for tutoring for children with reading and writing disorders in Cape Breton, LearnAbility was opened. Beginning as a home-based business, it grew to a full time operation that later relocated to Charlotte Street in Sydney. A growing staff and hundreds of students later, the reputation of LearnAbility soared. Soon LearnAbility was also providing professional development, parent sessions, and group training. After a significant expansion, LearnAbility relocated into its own building in Sydney River, NS. Kennedy Animal Hospital formerly resided at this location for over 55 years. Lots of love and care were given to families and their animals for so many years. We were honoured to become the new generation of care at 1064 Kings Road; only our mission is the support, understanding and intervention of all children regardless of their deficits or needs.
​
In March of 2020, we moved to online classes as a result of Covid 19. Our online programs: reading, writing, math, French, and curriculum support, continue be available for all grade levels online, but we are now open in person again. Students have loved the online experience and our staff are online pros! The best thing about our online services is our expansion across Nova Scotia and now into other provinces in Atlantic Canada. We have the ability to teach children anywhere in Canada because we are now an online tutoring service. So long as you have internet, we can help you!

In July 2021, we celebrated 16 years of being in business in Nova Scotia. Thank you to our clients for investing in your child's education by continuing to come to us for their learning needs. We look forward to  more years of teaching kids of all ages, grades, and needs. We continue to offer in person (in Sydney) and online classes now throughout Atlantic Canada - all provinces. Contact us so we can help your child!

"I started at LearnAbility when I was in grade 4 and worked with Michelle and other staff members all the way through to university. I always struggled with school and never thought I would make it very far, but through all the tips and tricks that I learnt from LearnAbility, I have gained the skills and confidence needed to succeed in academics and carry on into my Masters at Western University"  - Alyssa Mccull
