O'Neill Tutoring

A typical day in my program is between three and five hours. This allows time for children to settle and get comfortable, play and address goals. Children participate in goal work. This is when they address reading, math, visual spatial skills and other areas of interest prioritized by parents and the child. In my programs, I pair working hard with autonomy and choice. I support children in building self-efficacy and getting comfortable with the learning process. All progress is monitored in a goal book.

Children also look forward to doing what inspires them. This is different for every child. I support children by providing environments that are creative and industrious. I want children to look forward to coming each week and to build off their imagination, to generate new ideas, and to feel the freedoms inherent in the creative process. I provide nutritious snacks and meals as necessary. I believe in working with the whole child. Providing a nutritive environment and supporting children in their daily lives is a natural approach to addressing therapeutic change.

I support young people in tolerating all thinking and feeling, while managing the tension states to intrapersonal and interpersonal conflict. My programs support the development of mind and building mental models that allow for adaptation and emotional resiliency.
