As an educator, it's important to recognize that every child has unique learning profile. By providing personalized learning plans, I can help your child reach their full potential.

​

My goal is create a supportive and engaging learning environment that empowers learners to develop their skills, apply effective strategies, enjoy the learning process, and build self-confidence in their abilities. The principles that guide my instruction are:

​

  • Building and maintaining skills: Instruction will focus on providing learners with the necessary tools and knowledge to develop their skills effectively. This might involve a combination of explicit instruction, repeated opportunities to practice developing skills, and learning games.

  • Learning and applying strategies: Instruction includes explicit strategy instruction and practice.  This involves teaching problem-solving techniques, critical thinking skills, and methods for effective learning and retention.

  • Having fun while learning : Learning is often most effective when it's enjoyable. Incorporating elements of play, creativity, and exploration into instruction can make the learning process more engaging and memorable for learners of all ages.

  • Developing self-confidence as a learner: Encouraging learners to take ownership of their learning process and providing opportunities for success can help build confidence. This might involve setting achievable goals, providing constructive feedback, and celebrating progress and achievements along the way.

Navigating the special education process can be challenging.  My goal is to provide you with the information you need to be the best advocate you can be for your child.

Wilson Tutoring

Highly-experienced, certified professional

The Wilson Reading System (WRS) is a research-based, multisensory, structured literacy program.  Based on more than three decades of data, WRS is designed for individuals with word-level deficits who are not making sufficient progress through their current intervention; have been unable to learn with other teaching strategies; or who require more intensive structured literacy instruction due to a language-based learning disability, such as dyslexia. By providing intensive WRS instruction in small groups or individually with a highly skilled teacher, reading and spelling success is achievable.

I can’t recommend Amy Schwartz of Three Little Birds enough! Not only is she professional and an expert in the nuanced field of special education and dyslexia, she is energetic and fun! It’s hard to find that special combination of academics and personality. We have found that in Amy. My child loves tutoring and I never thought I’d hear myself say that!
