The Story Behind World Wise Minds

Welcome to World Wise Minds, founded in 2024. Although newly launched, World Wise Minds has been in the works for almost 10 years. It all started when the founder, Monique Lewis, began working at a learning centre as a tutor during university in Toronto. In 2015 she stated, "I really like the concept of a learning centre, but there are a number of things I'd do differently. Maybe in the future I'll open up my own."

Lewis went on to receive her bachelor's in psychology, minoring in business in 2018 and her bachelor's in education in 2020. Her adventurous spirit led her to leave Toronto and teach in classrooms in Quebec, Canada and London, United Kingdom. Living on the other side of the world opened many doors for Monique. From traveling and learning about new cultures, to meeting like-minded individuals with the same passion for education. Following passionate discussions with ambitious overseas educators, World Wise Minds was established!

Why World Wise Minds?

The name for our tutoring business perfectly explains our core values.

World: World Wise Minds was founded by like-minded individuals who share a passion for high-quality education and travelling the world. Living aborad has shown us that the most effective way to learn about other cultures, languages and countries is through firsthand exploration. We aim to inspire students globally through our own experiences, with the vision of welcoming students from all corners of the world.

Wise: With that being said, traveling makes you much wiser. By facing and overcoming unexpected challenges, you have the opportunity to learn more about yourself. Self-discovery is crucial when striving to improve academically or mentally. Our goal is to nurture students who can learn and grow from their mistakes enabling them to identify themselves as wise, rather than just smart.

Minds: Wisemind is defined as the optimal thinking state where rational thoughts and emotional thoughts come together. Our team noticed that many students all over the world struggle academically because they use their emotional mind instead of wisemind. Taking care of the mind is crucial for academic success. At World Wise Minds, we specialize in fostering a growth mindset for students. Our goal is to help them believe in themselves so they can achieve their goals.
