Jonathan de Jager

I work with youth, primarily high school students, providing academic support and mentorship. My background includes work with Jordan’s Principle, supporting Indigenous students with disabilities and learning challenges, as well as experience in group homes, tutoring, and behaviour mentorship. I’m passionate about helping students navigate school, life transitions, and career planning.

I am currently expanding my work in literacy and dyslexia support, and I have experience with Orton-Gillingham and the Barton program. I am currently finishing my Bachelor of Education degree.
