"Emerson House changed the trajectory of my daughter's future. Paula Bishop-Liebler took the time to understand my daughter's complex and unique learning profile. When she began her individual sessions, she could not regularly add or subtract. Now, three years later, she is successfully performing algebra at the high school level.

Programs
Emerson House programs are structured for success. Children who come to Emerson House have typically experienced considerable challenges in reading, spelling, writing, and/or math and can have low self-esteem due to this. Our research and experienced based programs are structured to give each child success at every step and consequently build confidence and enjoyment in learning.
Teaching
Emerson House offers a range of teaching structures depending on the needs of the child. Our core structure we call our 3-Hour Sessions — over the course of a morning or afternoon — children have focused tuition in literacy, touch-typing, and math following individualized programs for each child. The objective is to give children the skills and confidence to learn on a level footing with other children of the same age.
Next Steps
After an initial meeting with parents, Paula will conduct an informal assessment of the child's math and literacy skills to provide the basis for an open discussion about the educational support needed. We also work closely with Schools, Educational Psychologists, Occupational therapists, and other specialists who can provide further details on the child’s learning.
