WHAT LEAP IS
Most summer programs are designed to keep students busy or prevent learning loss. LEAP helps them start fall with new confidence. Every session is built around what your child needs. This is not a generic curriculum or binder of worksheets, and not a group where your learner may only get 20% of the teacher's attention.
​
LEAP students finish the summer with measurable gains in the skills that will make a difference for THEM: decoding, fluency, spelling, or math skills. Gains that they will feel walking in the door in September.
Truly Individualized
Every session is individualized, with a tutor who has studied your child's specific profile before day one. No groupings. No compromise on instructional fit.
Designed for your learner's needs
This is not one size fits all. We look at what specific skills are missing- phonological, orthographic, numeracy, figure out the best intervention, and build from there.
Research Validated Methods
We design instruction from multiple structured literacy and math programs, and use your child's unique profile to decide program fit, then teach it with fidelity to ensure progress.
Visible Progress
We monitor progress every session and design the next session based on the growth we see.
Progress is reported every week and skills are re-assessed at the end of session to support school year providers in knowing your learner's new abilities.
WHO LEAP IS FOR
Your child might be a perfect fit for LEAP if...
-
They've been diagnosed with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia, or you suspect they should be.
-
They have an IEP for a specific learning disability in reading writing or math.
-
They are in a private school and do not receive direct instruction during the year.
-
They've worked with other tutors and made slow or inconsistent progress.
-
They are consistently not meeting IEP goals.
-
The goals in the IEP are not going to get them caught up.
-
School reports say things like "needs to apply themselves," "needs more practice," or "a little behind."
-
They're bright and verbal, but reading or math makes them shut down.
-
You want real data on what changed — not just a "great summer!" report.
-
They're an older student (grades 2–8) who has fallen through the cracks.
With PSL's expertise and optimistic approach, my daughter learned to read and understand her learning disability. And then came Jake with his creativity, compassion, and ability to partner with his student. My daughter's confidence, writing skills, and executive functioning blossomed. Because of her work with Lisa and Jake, my daughter has deepened her love of literature and maintained her goal to be a published writer.
