About Me

Hi, I’m Jamie Ostrow, a certified teacher with over 10 years of experience guiding K–6 students to thrive academically and emotionally. After navigating both public and private school systems with my own children, I saw firsthand the need for flexible, loving, and personalized education. Now, I dedicate my time to helping families create learning solutions that work for their unique children. Whether it’s one-on-one tutoring or custom lesson plans designed for at-home learning, I bring patience, creativity, and a nurturing touch to every service I offer.

🌸 Why Kids Enjoy Learning Here

A calm little island to learn and grow

I believe no two children learn the same way. My tutoring sessions and homeschool plans are carefully tailored to your child’s unique needs, pace, and interests, making learning more engaging and effective.
Kids thrive when they feel safe and supported. I focus on encouragement, patience, and positive reinforcement so every child feels proud of their progress.
Learning should feel peaceful, not pressured. I create a space where kids feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and exploring new ideas.
With over 10 years as a certified teacher and mom, I understand the challenges families face and know how to simplify learning for both kids and parents.
Whether you need last-minute homework help, ongoing tutoring, or a complete homeschool plan, I offer flexible options to fit your schedule and goals.
My goal isn’t just to teach skills for today—it’s to help kids discover the joy of learning, building curiosity and confidence that lasts well beyond our sessions.
I take the overwhelm out of homeschooling by providing ready-to-use, customized lesson plans so you can focus on enjoying the journey with your child.
I don’t just teach; I partner with parents, providing tips, strategies, and ongoing guidance to make learning successful at home too.
