Our Founder’s Inspiration Story

Inspiring Dreams. Inspiring You.

Angel Kuang grew up in Mainland China under the pressure of the Gaokao system—where memorization ruled and one exam decided your future. Even then, she believed education should be more than test scores. She dreamed of learning that sparked creativity, confidence, and curiosity.

After successfully running a language training center for two years, Angel’s dream grew bigger. She longed to understand Western learning styles more deeply and immerse herself in a culture of open dialogue and innovation. With courage and vision, she left everything behind and moved to Canada to pursue that dream.

What began as part-time tutoring quickly became something greater: a thriving after-school program where students flourished—not just as top scholars and athletes, but as confident leaders.

In 2003, Angel founded Inspiration Learning. By 2008, she began franchising, empowering women and immigrant families to build businesses through education. What started as one woman’s dream has grown into a movement that transforms students, families, and entire communities.

The Inspiration Model

At Inspiration Learning Center, we believe that the Eastern focus on discipline, memorization, and academic excellence beautifully complements the Western emphasis on creativity, critical thinking, and innovation. Our unique “East Meets West” approach nurtures both strong knowledge and the communication skills needed to stand out in an increasingly competitive world.

1

Custom Learning Profile Development

We begin with a holistic assessment to understand the student as a whole. This includes evaluations in core subjects (Math, English, French, Physics, Creative Writing, etc.), communication ability, strengths, challenges, interests, and more. The result is a custom learning profile and a clear roadmap for the student and their family.

2

Educational Planning

With guidance from experienced professionals, we help families plan each step of the academic journey. This includes extracurricular involvement, athletics, course selection and sequencing, public speaking opportunities, debate training, and academic competitions—all aligned with the student’s long-term goals.

3

East Meets West Methodology

Our signature approach connects academic achievement with real-world application. Students are encouraged to relate subject content to current events and personal interests, helping them develop critical thinking and articulation skills. We emphasize history, context, and forward-thinking—preparing students for the future by understanding the past and present.

Expert Educators & Mentors

Our team is made up of professional educators from both public and private sectors—much more than just tutors. They act as mentors, supporting academic excellence while nurturing the confidence and independence that unlock a child’s full potential.

5

The Inspiration Network

We connect students and families to a powerful network across Canada, the U.S., and internationally—including university admissions advisors, career coaches, translators, clergy, professors, Ivy League alumni, and more. Together, we work in solidarity to bring each child’s dreams to life.

The Inspiration Bookstore: Practice Makes Perfect

Every student receives the tools they need for success—including our own customized workbooks. Designed to reinforce lessons and develop mastery, our practice materials ensure consistent progress both inside and outside the classroom.

Inspiration, Like a Smile, Is Contagious!

20+ Years | 10+ Campuses | Proudly Serving Families Across Canada

Inspiration Learning Center didn’t grow overnight—it grew organically through the most powerful endorsement of all: parent referrals. After witnessing real changes in their children, families began sharing their experiences with others.

Rather than letting students lose hope, we empower them to believe in themselves. The best motivation comes from academic progress, where students begin to connect hard work with real achievement.

Just like Rome wasn’t built in a day, success is a journey of small victories. At Inspiration, we help students see the bigger picture—their potential, their goals, and their role in shaping the future. That clarity sparks something special. They become motivated, engaged, and inspired—and in turn, they share that enthusiasm with others.
