Maria Casale is a truly gifted, results orientated, educator who has been instrumental in teaching my dyslexic, ADHD son how to read and learn. After our first meeting, Maria was able to put in place an instructional plan that met his individual needs. It was the first time a teacher was able to adequately and confidently explain to me my son's struggles and how we could effectively overcome them. When Maria suggested an hour session for my 5 year old, ADHD kid I thought she was nuts. But, low and behold, she got him to work for an hour, a miracle in and of itself!  He continued to see Maria, without complaint, and made tremendous progress.She built a solid foundation on which all of our son's learning has rested upon. The energy and love she brings to her job, students, and parents has been such a gift to us! We are forever grateful.

 Leap Academy has been an excellent source of remediation instruction for my son. The progress my son has made has been amazing. He walked into their doors as a beginning reader and is now a proficient reader on grade level. Ms.Lauren has helped him very much and has been an excellent source of support and help. Maria always checks in with us and does her best to ensure that the quality of work being provided is appropriate and aligned with my son's individual needs. We wouldn't be where we are today without both of these amazing women and without Leap! 

Leap Learning Academy has been a lifesaver for my family. My oldest son has learning disabilities and was behind, and Leap has helped him to make significant progress. He hated to go to school because the work was so hard for him but he loves going to Leap. Everyone who works there is wonderful, and my son loves being there. My son has been going to leap for years now, and I truly believe they are the reason my son has progressed so well. We are so happy with the progress of our older son that we have now enrolled our youngest. He also wakes up excited to attend and can do the work given all on his own. There is no more crying and frustration over schoolwork! 

My son has been attending the LEAP tutoring program for almost a year and a half, and we have witnessed major improvements in his reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and higher levels of execution with his mathematical capabilities.
The instructors and staff have been amazing for my son. Feedback is provided in real-time, and concern areas are addressed immediately. Leap has proven to be the perfect fit for my son; I know he is loved and surrounded by folks who genuinely care about him.
I would highly recommend the LEAP tutoring center. The decision to have my son join the tutoring program has proven to be a godsend for my family. 

 It’s been really great with Leap. I am so glad to have my two children enrolled, especially during this Covid crisis. We are not on Staten Island any longer, and their remote sessions are stellar! The instructors are well-prepared, and the lessons are organized to perfection. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect as we had never experienced their online platform. But, after the first remote lesson, my daughter was really comfortable with her math topics, and my son asked when his next session would be scheduled!
My initial thought on more online learning was, how can we do it? However, as a parent, I can truly see the quality of instruction coming across the screen. Although we miss seeing the smiles in person—we feel so fortunate to be able to continue with tutoring, and my kids are keeping on top of their studies. Leap Tutoring made remote learning work for us!

Leap Tutoring Academy is an exceptionally excellent learning center. I have two children, one of whom is severely dyslexic and the other in a gifted and talented program. Upon meeting the director, I was impressed by her level of expertise! Not only is she a board-certified Orton Gillingham specialist, she is a very accomplished educator who takes the time to get to know every student. She guided us through the process of how to best educate our son, who is dyslexic, and with their help, our son went up two grade levels in the past year! Her instructors are skilled, caring, and excellent at their work!
The director is not only an educational expert; she is a mom of three children enrolled in gifted programs and honors programs, which was extremely helpful when seeking services for our eldest daughter, who is preparing to test into a specialized high school. Leap is a beautiful, clean, and welcoming establishment. Our children are thriving at Leap, and we are fortunate to have a business of this caliber on Staten Island.
