The Founder
Ms. I.T.

Hi, I’m Ms. I.T., a licensed teacher in Canada and the founder of J’elevate.

Back in 2011, I started my journey in education with one big question: How can I make learning easier and more joyful for kids?

One day, a friend asked me to help her child who was struggling with reading. I tried a different approach… simple, playful, and step-by-step. In just 2 hours, that child started reading with confidence. 

Later, another child came over to spend the evening with me. We laughed, played, and by the end of the night, that child was reading too.

That’s when I knew learning doesn’t have to be hard. It just has to be done right.

Fast forward to 2020, the pandemic hit, and I volunteered with a University of Calgary program that supported children learning English as a second language. My assigned student couldn’t read or speak English yet. But week after week, using the same gentle method, they began to thrive. Within 4 months, that child was speaking clearly and reading on their own.

It was a turning point. I realized I could bring this kind of support to more families from the comfort of their homes. I tested the same approach with math, and it worked again. Kids who once cried over numbers began solving problems and smiling while doing it.

Here’s what I know:

Your child isn’t “behind.” They just need the right kind of help.
I’ve worked with dozens of families who felt anxious and unsure. But once their children were seen, heard, and supported properly, they began to soar.

That’s why I created J’elevate, a safe, supportive online space where kids from Kindergarten to Grade 12 can grow in reading, writing, math, and science, with tutors who care deeply and teach with heart. Every child deserves to succeed. And we’re here to help make that happen.

Hi! I’m Ms. Bassey, an Early Years Teacher with over 17 years of experience. I absolutely love working with young children and helping them discover how exciting learning can be. I focus a lot on social-emotional learning because I believe that how a child feels directly affects how they learn.

I also create personalized learning plans and share regular updates with parents so we’re all working together to help your child thrive.
