Our Story
Soaring Learners grew its ‘wings’ back in 2015 when CEO & Founder, Robyn Bench, first noticed early signs of dyslexia in her son. In Idaho, where dyslexia wasn’t recognized as a disability, resources were virtually non-existent. Armed with determination and a mother’s love, Robyn delved into extensive research. She trained in the Orton-Gillingham method, mastered reflex therapy, and learned about crossing the midline—all to support her son and countless other children like him.
Robyn’s research unveiled a key insight: multisensory education is transformative, and engaging multiple senses and learning systems builds stronger neural connections, making learning deeper and more accessible for all children, particularly those who learn differently.
Driven by a vision to make learning exhilarating (for not only her son but other students and diverse learners), she began redesigning her curriculum to be more engaging and interactive.
The results were undeniable. By testing time, Robyn’s students were not only achieving new academic heights but were also developing a genuine love for learning.
At Soaring Learners, we don’t just teach—we inspire. With a focus on multi-sensory learning techniques, we are dedicated to filling educational gaps and building confidence in every learner.
Come soar to new heights with us!
