What Our Learners are Saying

We Found Our Curiosities!

From my experience with Sonia, the Founder of Akitsu Learning, her lessons and programs have had a profound impact on my son’s educational energy.  We have both discovered a new-found love of learning, following our interests into the depths until we really get down to the details. I hadn’t realized how this would support his learning in other areas. AND he now takes everything with a new level of curiosity. I can’t wait to get my hands on her programs through this format!
