Amy has engaged my 8 y/o who typically resists reading and writing. She thoughtfully plans lessons and strategies which are very student centered. I also appreciate the interwoven social- emotional lessons that are a part of every session. My son has not complained about logging in for sessions and has said that he wants to continue working with her which is huge for a kid who is not fond of school work.

Details: Elementary school • General reading and writing • Reading comprehension • Native speaker • Improve grades at school • More than once a week • 45 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet)

Thank you so much Dianne for your thoughtful and kind words! It is especially wonderful working with you and your amazing and talented son. It warms my heart to witness a parent so connected, accepting and loving as YOU! It is clear to see why he lightens and brightens up so much at the mention of “mom!” It is an awesome adventure working with your son and I am so thankful to be able to witness firsthand the mini miracles of child centered learning. Every word, every “yes,” every smile/laugh and every word and page read is a step towards peace and ease for him!!! Thank you for allowing me to be part of you and your son’s journey!

Amy is beyond wonderful! We are so grateful to have found her. I don’t have the words to describe how amazing she with tutoring our 6 year old son with his reading. She’s patient, kind, understanding, and engaging. And I love her thoughtful integration of mindfulness and yoga. Our son will actually complete a full hour zoom lesson with her! And he has also improved substantially in his confidence in reading and letter recognition in the time he’s been with Amy. We will continue our lessons with Amy for the foreseeable future! Highly recommend her!

Thank you so much for these kind and heartfelt words Olivia! Sessions with your son are full of connection, joy and FOCUS! I am so thankful to have the opportunity to guide him on his learning path. Witnessing him grow and change in literacy and in life is a treasure. I am looking forward to seeing him again in our Google Meet (& hopefully in person some day!) real soon ✨💫💫💫

Thank you so much for these kind words, Edris! You and your son were absolutely fabulous to work with... I look forward to starting up with sessions again hopefully soon. He showed so much progress with mindfulness and breathing practice which carried over beautifully to reading and writing challenging words. THANK YOU for the opportunity to help your son.

I wish Amy had provided this service years ago, when my niece was in elementary school. She would have loved the one to one stress free, fun, encouraging academic tutoring and body relaxing lessons. I have worked with Amy for 15 years. Her student's love her! She is very knowledgeable in reading and mathematic fundamentals. She strives to help students increase their knowledge and excitement for learning. The students learn in a fun, nonstressful and very very positive environment. If your student could benefit from reading , mathematics or body awareness and calming techniques, please each out to Amy. Your child will appreciate your investment in their happiness and well being.
