Our Story

Canova was first started in 2024 by two students in Ontario: Carina Chiew and Victor Ge. Our student-led mentorship/tutoring program is dedicated to supporting immigrant children as they navigate their new educational journey in Canada. Our mission is to provide personalized tutoring and mentorship to help these students overcome language barriers, build academic confidence, and feel empowered in their new community. Through compassion, understanding, and guidance, our team of passionate mentors is committed to helping each student reach their full potential and succeed academically and personally!
