You know your child best.
We help the school see what you see.
Maybe homework takes hours, reading ends in tears, or every IEP email makes your stomach drop. You’ve tried more reminders, extra practice, even outside tutoring—but something still feels off.
At Learning Essentials, we blend specialized instruction with clear, compassionate advocacy. For over 20 years, our certified, advanced-degreed team has helped students across the greater DC-metro area build skills, confidence, and independence.
