Lisa Owen, M.Ed. PEAK owner headshot

Hi! I’m Lisa.

I’M So Glad You’re HERE.

I’m a certified elementary and special education teacher with a Master’s degree in Literacy and Language. I became the sole owner and founder of PEAK Educational Services, LLC in a quest to find the elusive balance between motherhood and my professional passion:

helping children succeed through individualized, science-backed approaches, in our community and beyond.

PEAK started as a tiny, one-woman tutoring shop and has grown beyond what I ever could have imagined. While we’re still a small, family-owned business, I am now supported by our ever-expanding team of amazing, certified educators. Together we have helped countless children find increased confidence and success in their academic journeys. 

We can’t wait to welcome you into our PEAK family!

PERSONALIZATION IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO

As a mom of four, Lisa deeply understands the importance of listening to parents’ concerns and trusting that parental instinct. No one knows your child better than you! We at PEAK believe in a proactive, personalized approach to prevent achievement gaps from widening. 

Whether you need help while school systems catch up to get services in place, or you are a homeschooling family who is highly in tune with your child’s strengths and weaknesses and recognize the need for a little extra support, PEAK aims to deliver highly individualized instruction that matches students’ unique learning profiles

For us, personalized teaching means using tailored approaches that are based on the neurological science of human learning and development. Our private tutoring, speech services, executive function coaching, and more apply the latest research and evidence-based practices proven to jumpstart your kids’ educational success.

FAQs

  • We offer competitive pricing tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. Once we connect and assess your specific requirements, availability, and the best approach to address your concerns, we provide a personalized quote. Our rates include teacher preparation, travel, time spent in session, and written, formal feedback after every tutoring session, ensuring the highest level of support and value for your investment.

  • We offer our services in a variety of convenient settings to meet your needs, including in-home sessions, at local Bux-Mont area libraries, and virtually.

  • Frequency and duration of sessions are based on need and request. We typically see students at least once a week for an hour, but have a range of flexible individualized options.

  • The benefits of virtual tutoring include convenience, flexibility, and personalized instruction from the comfort of home. It allows for easier scheduling, eliminates travel time, and gives access to high-quality tutors regardless of location.

  • Partnering with PEAK Educational Services ensures open communication with our team. Leadership is always accessible, and you have direct contact with your tutor, who provides written feedback and next steps after each session. We believe clear communication with parents and fellow educators is essential to a student's success.

  • If you decide to move forward after your consultation call and quote, you'll first receive a service agreement to sign. Once the agreement is completed, you'll be connected with your tutor to begin scheduling. Invoices are sent via email through QuickBooks, with monthly prepayment required. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy and accept payments by cash, check, or online ACH bank transfers through the invoice.

  • As parents ourselves, we understand that life happens! If you need to reschedule, we kindly ask for 24 hours’ notice. We are happy to work with you to find a new time that fits your family’s schedule. If we’re unable to find a suitable time, a credit will be applied to your account for the following month’s services. However, cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will incur a cancellation fee, excluding instances of bereavement or sickness.

  • We take great care in pairing each student with a tutor based on their specific needs and the tutor's qualifications, specialty, and availability. While you are more than welcome to request a particular tutor, our priority is to work closely with you to ensure we find the best match for your child's success.
