About Lisa

♡ Empowering each child or adult student with the knowledge that they are SUPREMELY valued and WORTHY of great instruction is my passion and a continuum of my master-educator mother's legacy. You are making an investment in your child and/or yourself that will go beyond your lifetime.

As twelve (12) of my five star ***** scholar parents have shared on this platform, I stand out because I come to class enthusiastically prepared, with a personalized learning plan designed to help each student (ADHD, DYSLEXIA, DYSGRAPHIA, Struggling readers and writers ESOL, GIFTED, International, Special Needs, on the spectrum, Spelling Bee scholars and/or adults), be successful.

I curate a robust archive of lessons that foster higher order thinking skills (HOTS) - and we also laugh and learn!

♡ My ability to authentically connect with each child/adult by offering strategic multi-sensory engagement and solutions is why my service stands out. I welcome each tutoring session ready to tutor (and many times reteach) students.

♡ All lessons are based upon each scholar's epistemology (way of learning). I also do not accept a student if there is not a harmonious fit. I want each child and parent to feel comfortable (a must!), and if I am not the right educator, I enthusiastically support and encourage that you seek another teacher. Sometimes a disconnect may occur due to cognitive dissonance, or if I am not the visual representation of excellence in which the child or family is accustomed. And guess what? That's okay.

After our introductory session, parents, or my adult students receive a detailed instructional assessment report. Scholars who meet with me regularly receive a weekly snapshot of our work and a monthly report wherein they are able to track their progress and review lessons learned. My instructional report can be shared with in-school teachers, counselors, speech therapists and/or educational psychologists if necessary.

As a globally recognized certified Orton-Gillingham educator, writer and native English speaker from Brooklyn, New York, I offer exclusive multi-sensory instruction. I am particularly adept at motivating pupils traumatized by "Rush-Stuff & Flush" education (trust me, as a child, I was a victim of the "Rush-Stuff * Flush" educational paradigm).

♡ "Lisa is one of the exceptional teachers. She is the whole package."M. Mundth, Parent

♡ “Lisa creates the most dynamic multi-sensory environments. She is that rare combination of integrity, scholarship, creativity and determination."Dr. Hennington, Brooklyn College

♡ "As John Marshall Law School's Director of Admissions & Advancement, Fatimah's energy, dedication and creativity were characteristics that we depended upon greatly—and were never disappointed. She is a natural leader."R.D'Agostino, Esq.CEO

At times I partner with Home/ Independent Schools, and/or online Educational & Media companies in need of superior native-English speaking/bilingual educators and writers in the United States and worldwide.

♡I enjoy being a part of lasting change and development.

I love affirming natural genius by building self-esteem and designing personalized learning plans that mitigate failure and work! l am committed to empowering prose and removing crippling self-doubt.

♡My many mottos are: *I don't waste mind, time or dime,* and this includes yours as well. *EVERY breath we take is a blessing and every moment is a MIRACLE. *We get it wrong and GROW strong. *The GREAT make mistakes.

For these reasons and so many more, it is an HONOR to provide superior, personalized, online multi-sensory instruction to my TEMPORARILY struggling dyslexic readers, non-dyslexic students, ESOL, ADHD, At-Risk, Gifted, Traveling, Local & Global Scholars ages 7 to 97.

Thank you for reading. Miss Lisa Fátimah

After a career in corporate law, law school admissions administration, publishing, broadcast media,

and fashion, I followed in the footsteps of my late mother, a master educator, and entered the

educational arena. I am a native New Yorker and a bilingual native English speaker who

understands the contours of class within communiqué.

Having witnessed many young people enter the corporate arena ill prepared, I knew that I had to empower as many students as possible (at all ages and stages), by sharing a legacy of authentic, purposeful instruction that lasts a lifetime. I come from a family of ordinary people

who have achieved extraordinary things.

A globally recognized teacher, writer & gifted native English speaker from Brooklyn, New York, USA with Bayou*'cross the river*roots+august years in education, publishing, radio, law & grassroots service, I bring a wealth of substance to local, national and international students and institutions with global brilliance.

As a bilingual, Orton-Gilingham Certified Educator, I worked directly with our Associate Head of School, Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), School Counselor and Lower and Middle Division directors to create and serve as the Learning Support Team's pioneer (LST) Administrator.

I conducted student observations, suggested testing accommodations, style and quiz modifications, proofread teacher referrals to the LST, offered content , editorial, layout and font suggestions, reviewed psycho-educational evaluations and spoke with psychologists to create a learning plan geared toward each child's epistemology as I worked with them individually and during whole group instruction.

I was recruited to work one-on-one to address the urgent and critical emotional and academic needs of elementary and middle school dyslexic learners requiring greater support due to trauma from standardized educational systems.

About the lesson

I LISTEN to the TEMPORARY challenges that my new student and her/his family are facing/have faced, and create a personalized, multisensory learning plan that works well with the student's epistemology.

I have had the HONOR to teach AND learn from local, national and international students who are geniuses, 2e, gifted, dyslexic, have tourettes, Turner's syndrome, on the spectrum, at-risk, children of the celebrated, public officials, of all socio-economic levels including HNW and UHNW families in private, independent, public elementary, middle, high school, college and law schools.

Always trust your instincts. Determine whether or not you feel comfortable with your teacher. Does the teacher uplift or create fear? Does the teacher LISTEN to you and communicate in a way that you understand? Does this educator value you and your time while also motivating, encouraging and requiring you to be your very best? How does the teacher make you feel when you make a mistake in class? Do you feel better leaving the class?

A recent event that I am fond of was traveling to "Unicorn Land," with one of my great young scholars. I teach my younger students (and at times older ones as well) through play, Bloom's taxonomy, and higher order thinking skills (HOTS). During this particular class we used our magical "super powers" to decode sounds and BUILD great stories!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. What do I really need from my teacher and tutoring?

2. Am I committed to investing the time and effort it will take to achieve my goals?

3. Will tutoring help me to relieve my anxiety?

4. What factors can I control in my learning environment?

5. What has and hasn't worked for me in the past?

6. How do I learn best and retain new information?

7. Is the teacher okay with me tutoring off-camera?

8. Am I worthy of investing the time to learn?

9. Do I know how I learn best?

10. What will I do with the information that I've learned.

Perfect! Mrs. Lisa was amazing. My daughter enjoyed every second with her. She encouraged my child to be innovative, creative, and proud of the work she does. She showed her that everything she does is special. My child learned plenty of new words and ways to express herself. Mrs. lisa was simply fabulous. She was the perfect addition we needed during the lockdown earlier this year.

Perfect! 我在今年夏天通过tutor.com找到Lisa老师。其实最初是眼缘，我们年纪相近，她满脸善意。我来美国这些年从没有认真系统地学习过英语，基本的交流并没有太大的障碍。但是句型，发音，语法错误不断。这也是在学习过程中，Lisa老师解释中介语僵化是第二语言学习者的一种现象，在该现象中，第二语言学习者将其第一语言中正确的语言特征转换为他们说新语言的方式中的永久性错误。而Lisa就是运用各种学习方法来纠正我的这些习惯性错误。
Lisa老师的课，生动有趣，她不但经验丰富而且博学多才。她通常会在课前找来各种素材，而这些都是为我量身定制的课程，她通过课堂上的听读写来帮助我提高英语水平。跟着Lisa学习我从不会觉得枯燥乏味，而是一件特别幸福的事情。好的老师用心和行动来教育，学生看不到教育的发生，却实实在在地影响着他们的心灵，帮助他们发挥了潜能。而Lisa就是这样一位无比卓越的老师。

Miss Lisa is very professional. She mapped out a plan of action for my son based on her assessment after speaking with me. She is very friendly and my son enjoys working with her. He has made improvements in his writing...........he actually tries to write and do his best. When he doesn't understand he asks questions now. Wonderful instructor.

Lisa is an amazing educator. We worked with Lisa for a year and our son has made extreme progress. Within months of tutoring with Lisa, his vocabulary expanded, comprehension level increased and even his confidence level, with expansion in the areas he was struggling with the ELA subject area. Lisa ensured that our son was engaged in each session and she is extremely flexible. She kept him attentive by making sessions fun but also ensuring that he was also grasping what was presented in the session. Lisa does not limit a student to only areas that need improvement, but she also expands the student knowledge to other areas and levels. I would definitely recommend her tutoring services to any parent that is seeking a compassionate tutor that provides quality services.

Miss. Lisa's creativity and determination shines through with each tutoring lesson our daughter delightfully participates in. Our child has dyslexia, speech apraxia with perfectionism and ADHA. For our child Miss. Lisa has been the best teacher she has ever had. She makes sure every lesson is directed to our child's needs. In a short year Miss. Lisa has helped out child come from a below kindergartner level in reading and writing to a 6th grade level. Our child is only in 3rd grade. I highly recommend Miss. Lisa for anyone who has tried anything and keeps hitting walls. Miss. Lisa has not only been a mentor for our daughter, but she has also helped me a lot when i am having a hard time and feel like I am falling short as a mom and teach (We have made the choice to home school and sometimes it easy to get hard on myself and feel like I fail our child. Miss. Lisa has been a wonderful mentor/friend for me) I have nothing but great things to say about Miss. Lisa and could make this a whole book long. But I will stop here and just say Miss. Lisa is so passionate, understanding and wonderful on many different levels. She always brings out the best in my child and me :) Thank you Miss Lisa for everything you have done for us!

Lisa has been working with my son for the past year and we've noticed an amazing improvement not only in his reading and writing but in his overall confidence as well. Her compassion, sensitivity, and insight into what a student needs and how to provide it are incredible and we are so glad to have her continue to work with our child. Very highly recommended.

Details

I offer seven (7) pricing structure levels to fit every budget. The price is dependent upon the number of one-to-one tailored instruction hours taken.

While I know many students are anxious to enroll while I am still accepting students, I HIGHLY

recommend attending my Introductory-Tutorial Trial Class.

Even if you are a seasoned online

school scholar, it is best to take the trial class (for 90 minutes), to determine if you are, and/or

your child/teenager is comfortable with my one-to-one curated instructional method.

We also want to ensure that my teaching style aligns with your goals, family values and lifestyle. In

addition to instruction, our trial class includes comprehension, fluency and writing assessments.

My online dedicated and flexible instruction includes: monthly testing, curated learning resources, on-going comprehension and fluency assessments (CRA), detailed monthly progress summary, personalized reading/writing/speaking materials, American Sign Language (ASL), and customized research and planning to address each student's epistemology.

Our Non-refundable tuition is paid one (1) week in advance of instruction and may be paid monthly or quarterly (every three (3) months).
