Did you know that 85% of people worldwide 🌐 struggle with self-esteem?
Confidence is a much desired trait.
How is it built? Through failure!
At #SpiritofMath, we push our students' limits, so they can learn & become the most confident version of themselves.

"In exactly 2 weeks from today, it will be 3 days past my birthday. If today is March 21st, when is my birthday?"
This is an example of a date problem.
Kim Langen, Spirit of Math CEO & co-founder, demonstrates how to correctly solve date problems.

"When will I ever use this in real life?"
We've all heard or said this before in math class.
But math is very practical!
Take the LCM: the smallest number that can be evenly divided by 2+ numbers. Useful for when events repeat over time 🔁.

"You are what you read."
Like your food choices, your content diet & what you read shapes you as a person – even if you forget most of it.
#SpiritofEnglish students won't remember everything they read throughout the year, but they are better for having read it.

Is it possible to calculate a square root by hand? Yes, but prepare your brain for good mental workout 🧠.

Did you know about 1% of the world's population st..utters?
It's one of many speaking disorders treated by Speech Pathologists.
#SpiritofEnglish students are positioned to excel in this role. They have the analytical & communication skills alongside the interpersonal know-how.
In our RTG podcast, hosts Kim Langen, #SpiritofMath CEO & her son Nathan, interview global pioneers, innovators & disruptors.
This week they chat with Alvin Brown, CEO & founder of The Centre of Healing & Peak Performance.

"It hasn't happened yet, but I'm due for it."
The law of averages: belief that the relative frequency of events should match its probability. A coin will land on either heads or tails 50% each.
This isn't real math.
Real outcomes can be random. Always leave room for risks 🎲.
Having a technology-educated child could make all the difference.
Nurture your child's curiosity & grow their skillset by enrolling them into #SpiritofTechnology. Our holistic approach allows them to help you today & prepares them for a promising future.

On the RTG podcast, hosts Kim Langen, #SpiritofMath CEO, & her son Nathan, interview global pioneers, innovators & disruptors.
In ep. 2, their guest is Dr. Spencer Fowler, a former OHL hockey player & firefighter 🚒 turned educational leader.

What makes for a great story 📖?
There are hundreds of literary masterpieces.
Yes, they're all technically sound. But, the best have subtext. Plus, they're unpredictable – overturning expectations, much like when students join the #SpiritofEnglish program.
#Storytelling
There's a big demand for Data Engineers. In a world where we'll be producing 463 exabytes of data/day by 2025 😱, someone needs to process all that info!
To be successful, a person needs tech & interpersonal skills.
#SpiritofTechnology students have both.
