On Target Learning

"Kids deserve a break during the summer."

Absolutely!

But here's what many parents don't realize: a break from school doesn't have to mean a break from learning.

What actually helps students thrive is a balance of rest, play, and short, targeted practice that keeps important skills fresh.

In this photo, a student is using orthographic mapping to learn high-frequency words with tricky spellings. Instead of simply memorizing words, we're connecting sounds to letters and helping those words become permanently stored in memory for both reading and spelling.

These activities take just a few minutes, but they can make a big difference in preventing summer learning loss and building confidence for the next school year.

That's why our summer tutoring sessions focus on meaningful practice, engaging activities, and helping students experience success while still enjoying their summer break.

A few summer tutoring spots are still available. Send me a message if you'd like more information!

✨Introduction Time + Fall 2026 Program Announcement!✨

For years, I’ve worked with children who were bright, capable, and full of potential. But many of them have struggled in traditional learning environments. These students needed specialized support in reading or math, more time, explicit instruction, or simply a calmer and more individualized approach to learning.

Again and again in recent years, I have met homeschool families who felt stuck between two difficult choices: continue struggling on their own, or enroll their child in public school just to access intervention services and academic support.

To be clear, I love public school. And I love homeschool too! My dream is to provide the option that works best for your family in this season. ❤️

As a special education teacher and private tutor with 15 years of experience working with children, I created Skill Builders Studio by On Target Learning to give homeschool families another path, one where struggling learners can receive specialized, evidence-based instruction while remaining in the homeschool environment their families love.

At Skill Builders Studio, students are taught in small groups in a low-stress, encouraging environment where they can learn at their own pace, build confidence, and strengthen foundational reading and math skills through explicit instruction, strategic lessons, play-based practice, and individualized support.

Our program is designed especially with struggling learners in mind, including students with dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other neuro-diverse learning needs.

I hold a Master’s degree in Special Education, maintain a current K–6 teaching license, and am currently working toward my dyslexia therapist certification. But beyond credentials, my greatest goal is for families to feel supported, understood, and encouraged throughout their homeschool journey.

Skill Builders Studio includes:
• Elementary Learners (ages 5–11)
• Explicit reading and math instruction
• Small group, play-based learning
• Optional additional tutoring and intervention support in a 1:1 setting
• Opportunities for social learning and play

More than anything, I want children to leave feeling capable and confident and for parents to feel peace of mind knowing their child is receiving the specialized support they need in a nurturing environment.

I’m so excited to open Skill Builders Studio this fall and partner with homeschool families in a meaningful way.
