About Esther Schnitzer

For over 25 years, I have been privileged to work with children and young adults who have had disabilities, including cognitive and emotional disabilities, within an elementary and home-based setting. I have had countless success stories during the course of my career, which have all served as a continuous motivator when faced with a challenge or unique client. My ability to teach reading, writing and general comprehension skills to meet the child\'s needs are unparalleled in my field. One of my client\'s mother said it best,\"Esther was affable, smart and extremely determined to help my daughter face adversity and ultimately overcome the hardest challenge she will face in her lifetime. I can\'t say enough about how helpful she was and everything she did for my family. Thank you!\"
