He believes it is the human connection our team has with students and each other that truly makes iLearn unique. 

Mr. Lymburner enjoys meeting students to hear their story in order to understand his students from multiple perspectives. His appreciation for art and creative expression combined with his education background makes Mr. Lymburner a very personable Vice Principal.

Ms. Parag

Ms. Parag enjoys the one-on-one connection she has with students as it allows them to work together towards their goals as they progress through coursework. There is so much more to a student’s life: work, volunteering, athletic interests, etc. that Ms. Parag emphasizes that maintaining academic goals is important but having a realistic perspective on life is crucial. 

When she’s not attending school or working at school, Ms. Parag loves to read, watch movies, exercise, and spend time with family.

Mr. Tan

Teacher

Simon Fraser University, English. 

Mr. Tan is inspired by iLearn’s alternative approach to secondary school. As students work at their own pace to balance academics, personal lives, and cultures, Mr. Tan appreciates the hard work of his students as a daily reminder to apply the same work ethic to his life. He pushes his students and himself to be more fearless and raise expectations because when sights are set high, your actions today can result in achieving a better tomorrow. 

Mr. Tan values family, integrity, and authenticity and outside of work he enjoys time with family and his dog, as well as boxing, basketball, and reading.
