About North Star Learning Access
I’m Mytch, a dyslexic, ADHD learning specialist, Orton-Gillingham tutor, and executive function coach based in Vancouver, BC. I offer 1:1 online dyslexia tutoring and executive function coaching via Zoom. For over 15 years, I’ve supported children, teens, post-secondary students, and adults who don’t fit the “typical” mould in specialized school and outreach settings. I work best with learners and families who want practical support, honest communication, and room for real life.
I’m an Associate Member of the Orton-Gillingham Academy (OGA) and hold a BA from the University of Victoria. My work focuses on dyslexia, ADHD, and executive function challenges across the lifespan. As someone who is also dyslexic and ADHD, I take a realistic, neurodiversity-affirming approach that respects people’s energy, nervous systems, and real lives.
​
​North Star Learning Access exists to help children, teens, and adults build skills, systems, and self-advocacy so they can actually use their strengths—not just “try harder.” My aim is to make learning feel more possible, less punishing, and better supported in real life.
Why “North Star Learning Access”?
​
A north star is a fixed point that helps you orient and navigate, even when everything around you feels confusing or in motion. For many neurodivergent learners, school and work can feel like trying to find your way without a clear reference point.
North Star Learning Access is about building that stable point together: practical strategies, structures, and supports that help you orient, choose your direction, and move at a pace that works for your brain.
I use the word access intentionally. The goal isn’t to “fix” you or force you into systems that don’t fit. The goal is to increase access to learning, work, relationships, and daily life, so your strengths are visible and usable, not hidden behind barriers.
