About Russell Mayert
Russell has been a certified teacher in British Columbia for ten years and has worked in both the private school system and the public school system. From his experience in schools he saw an opportunity to provide higher quality tutoring and kids fitness for families. Often times, parents were paying big tutoring companies for lower quality services. He saw a demand for qualified teachers to provide tutoring services at home. Another trend that he saw as up and coming is kids fitness.
He started his career working at St. George’s School in Vancouver and later transferred to Fraser Academy. It was at Fraser Academy that he developed a passion for tutoring, especially working with students with dyslexia. Afterwards, he accepted a position in the West Vancouver School District working as a Learning Support Teacher and also in the classroom working with students in grades 4-7. Russell realized after ten years of teaching that his true passion was creating a better tutoring and kids fitness experience to meet the demands of life today.
Russell created Strive Learning. A new active approach to tutoring that incorporates movement and fitness to unlock the benefits of exercise and physiology. Having studied both Education and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University he decided to blend these two backgrounds to create a dynamic service with tutoring and fitness.
