In early 2020, Nicole Schlesinger, a literacy and special education educator, recognized that many children begin to doubt themselves when learning feels rigid, rushed, or disconnected from their interests. She believed there had to be a more nurturing approach. One that honors each child’s strengths while gently supporting their challenges. This belief led her to found Jump into Literacy. Her goal was to create a space where reading and writing are not sources of stress, but tools for expression, connection, and confidence. What began as individualized tutoring has grown into a warm, supportive learning environment that offers both targeted instruction and creative enrichment classes, partnering closely with families to help children thrive academically and emotionally. Nicole is deeply committed to helping children discover their strengths and approach learning with confidence and joy.
