About Your Education Navigator

Cindy Tobias

Having spent over 20 years as an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) and 15 years specializing in special education within York Region District School Board, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges families face when navigating Ontario’s education system—especially when their child has a learning difference. Many parents feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and often unheard as they try to understand processes like Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Identification, Placement, and Review Committees (IPRCs). I’ve seen how these systemic complexities can leave families feeling apprehensive about their child’s academic successes.

That’s why I became an educational consultant: to bridge that gap. I offer compassionate, evidence-based support to help families and schools navigate the Ontario system effectively. Whether it’s preparing for standardized testing, developing a meaningful IEP, advocating for necessary accommodations, or guiding students through course selections and executive functioning strategies, I’m here to ensure that every learner and family receives the support they deserve.

What We Do

Specialized Services

Marketing

Special Education Consulting for Families

A special education consultant can support you and your child in many important ways. 

Academic Consulting

Academic consulting can give families expert guidance, reduce stress, and ensure students make choices that align with their strengths, interests, and goals.

Standardized Testing Prep

Every year, grade 10 students in Ontario will need to write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test.

Tutoring Services

People hire tutors because regular classrooms can have up to 30 students, making it difficult for teachers to give individual attention to every child.

Educational Consulting for Schools

The Education Navigator partners with schools to deliver customized workshops and staff training on IEPs, accommodations, and differentiated instruction.
