Our Services

Homeschool

Not sure how to support students with learning disabilities? Maybe one of your students was diagnosed and now you are not sure what the next steps are.

We work with schools to provide essential student support services, help schools create and implement accommodation plans, as well as individualized consultations for leadership and teachers.

Private Schools

Is your student struggling to learn? We are happy to support homeschool families so that your student can find the joy in learning.

We work with both diagnosed and undiagnosed students, provide remediation therapy and consult with parents on homeschooling with special needs questions.

Speaking and Professional Development

Is your school or homeschool group interested in learning more about how to support students who struggle?

Margaret is happy to give presentations to schools, homeschool groups and conferences, which include topics about how students learn, how to create an environment that supports all learners, what pull out and push in look like, and more.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide schools and families with viable solutions to learning struggles that go beyond accommodations and build the skills needed to learn effectively.

Accommodations, while helpful, don’t address the root cause of a learning difficulty and cannot provide long-term solutions.

At Secret Garden EP, our approach is to build the student’s cognitive skills so they can excel in school alongside their classmates, with fewer or no accommodations.

Our Vision

Education is incredibly important today. We face a crisis of morals in society and our duty is to educate students in the truth! Our vision is that every child will be able to receive a quality education at the school of their choice, regardless of learning differences.

Many homeschooling families and private schools lack the resources necessary to properly support children with academic struggles. A student suffering from a learning disability will often opt to transfer to public school to receive the support public schools promise.

We do not want families and schools to feel that they need to turn to the public schools to receive the support their student requires. Rather, we hope to bridge this gap with essential remediation and parent/teacher education to effectively support students in the learning environment each family chooses.

We go beyond, accommodations and build the skills needed to learn effectively.

What people say about us!

"Life changing. Margaret's compassion, demeanor, and expertise have impacted our sons abilities, aptitude and confidence in a way that can only be described as life changing. With cerebral seizures in the audio/visual processing part of the brain, he was three grades behind. Once the seizures were under control and with Margaret help, he was able to catch up two grades in the first year. We will never be able to thank her enough."

"Each student experienced success and growth they would not have been able to make with classroom instruction alone. Secret Garden is a Godsend! I believe it is the professional experience combined with the relationships and prayerful environment that each contributed to their success. Your company is unique in what you are able to offer to Catholic school and homeschool students/parents who want the best support."

— Krista, Principal

"Susanna greatly increased my son's focus and retention and eased his stress and difficulty with schoolwork. His daily productivity and confidence has markedly increased as we spend less time reviewing.

Susanna kept me up to date with periodic emails and always responded quickly when I had a question or concern. She works closely with parents and modifies the program often to obtain the fastest growth possible. I have continued tutoring my son a few times a week using Secret Garden's techniques, and Susanna has been kind enough to answer questions beyond our time in the program. I highly recommend both Susanna and Secret Garden”
