Hi, I'm Emily Legum, a learning specialist who has helped thousands of kids succeed in school.
Let's talk about how we can help your child.
About Me
I have extensive experience creating reading and math programs to fit the individualized needs of students, most recently at a highly regarded Pre-K through Grade 12 independent school. This is my passion and I continue to immerse myself in the latest research and techniques to help children learn.
My work with children of all ages has ranged from those who need additional academic
challenges to those who struggle to keep up. I've seen many students who had serious academic difficulties get the right help and go on to be accepted into highly-selective universities. Over my forty years in education, I've learned there is tremendous potential in every child.
