Thanks to her artistic flair and hard work, Eleonora has created a true showpiece out of her Clarkson Village Academy.

The Clarkson Village Academy tutoring centre, situated in Mississauga, held its Grand Opening on Saturday, September 16th and what an opening it was!

Even before the opening, the Facebook and Website leads and enquiries for Clarkson Village were pouring in. On top of that, as a result of the flyers and signage, there was a constant stream of parents and students coming into the Academy to book evaluations.

Our newest franchisee, Eleonora Petryayeva, certainly did her homework and followed the head office advice in order to give her Academy as much coverage and exposure as possible. Karen Ras, a Mississauga Councillor was at the opening where she welcomed Eleonora and the Academy to Mississauga and presented Eleonora with the customary certificate. Susan Gibbons from Community Captured Magazine and Jo-Anne from Snapd were also present, doing interviews and taking photos for a write–up about the Academy in their publications.

Various family fun activities were organized for the grand opening celebration. Doodlebug, the face painter and balloon twister in her clown attire and the “explosive” liquid nitrogen ice cream booth outside the Academy was a tremendous success, generated lots of interest and brought many families into the Academy. Eleonora also held a contest where the names of any family that scheduled a “Free Skill Level Evaluation” were placed in the draw to win four Blue Jays ticket. (See the winner here)

The first evaluations were done on Sunday (another first) and the first week was fully booked with pretalks, readbacks and tutor training. The first tutoring classes took place on Tuesday, September 26th.

The Academy team wishes Eleonora every success with her new venture!

Congratulations!!

The Clarkson Village tutoring centre, in Mississauga, is set up with an amazing director, highly qualified tutors and all the necessary tools to help the students of the Clarkson Village community improve their grades and increase their confidence.
