Alex’s early success in high school and strong motivation to inspire others led her to pursue a career in education. Alex completed a degree in Education at McGill University with a speciality in Health Education. 

For four years Alex pursued her teaching career at Bialik, Kuper Academy, and ECS; her alma mater, during which time she introduced new techniques and new topics to modernize what felt like an antiquated model. Specifically, a holistic approach was something Alex fondly believed in from day one.  She was able to create a program that integrated these ideas and it was a tremendous success. After seeing the positive impact that the program had on her students who excelled from being motivated to live a balanced lifestyle, Alex knew that this was a vision she had to pursue on a bigger scale and set out to build a community of leaders and learners.

Alex founded Maison d’Étude in 2018 and watched her students’ grow and succeed in their goals they had set out. This success led her to join the Prep Academy Team which further propelled her mission of offering high quality learning experiences that empower students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the the classroom and beyond.

FR: Depuis son plus jeune âge, Sarah s’est vivement intéressée au droit. Les injustices qu’elle a observées dans sa communauté et dans le monde l’ont motivée à obtenir son diplôme d’études secondaires au Collège Saint-Louis, reconnu pour sa conscience globale et son ouverture aux enjeux mondiaux. Inspirée par son engagement bénévole au sein du Conseil jeunesse de Lachine et d’Amnistie internationale, elle a décidé de poursuivre ses études en Droit, Société et Justice au Collège Dawson. Son engagement envers la promotion de l’équité et de l’égalité des chances l’a ensuite encouragé à poursuivre des études de droit à l’Université de Montréal. En plus de ses objectifs académiques, Sarah a développé une passion pour le bénévolat. L’une de ses expériences a été de faire du tutorat en français et en mathématiques à la bibliothèque de son quartier pendant plusieurs années. Cette expérience lui a permis d’enseigner à des enfants de tous âges et d’adapter sa méthode à leurs besoins d’apprentissage. Elle a également donné des cours de français, tant au niveau primaire que secondaire, à ses pairs ainsi qu’à la bibliothèque. Tout au long de son parcours scolaire, elle a aidé ses camarades de classe et les enfants de la bibliothèque avec leurs devoirs.
