About Donnelly's Daily Apple:

We offer individualized, intentionally-designed learning programs and tutoring services to families looking for alternatives or supplements to public and private schooling.

Flexible Learning Options

Our core belief is that every child learns differently; therefore, a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach just doesn’t work. Instead, students need flexible learning options: programs, curriculum, and an educator who can custom-create, curate + facilitate what works best. We offer flexible learning options for public, private, and homeschool families looking for an…Continue reading “Flexible Learning Options”

What Our Clients Say:

“One of my students started working with Miss Donnelly and within a few short weeks, I saw marked improvement in his reading in class. He comes to class after his tutoring sessions with a positive outlook and understanding of his learning challenges. He is always happy to share with me about his achievements during his tutoring sessions. I can tell from his demeanor and progress that he is in very good hands with Miss Donnelly. I have already referred her to other families!”

Cara Dunn (3rd Grade Teacher of Tutoring Student)

“Marisa was referred to me, by a friend, as a potential tutor for my eight-year-old son. My son was having difficulty with his reading in third grade and ultimately was diagnosed as being dyslexic. Due to scheduling conflicts, we were only able to book 2 hours per week for tutoring. The results were very good with his word decoding skills, reading speed, word fluency, and word accuracy all increasing significantly, after only three months. He loved Marisa! I strongly recommend Marisa as a professional, effective, and personable tutor for young children.”

Fritz Healey (Parent Of Student With Dyslexia)

“Marisa has gone above and beyond to help our son and I can tell that she really cares about his progress.  She is so patient and comes up with fun learning activities for their sessions. She always gives me pointers and things that I can work on at home with him.  The best part is, my son LOVES going to see Marisa and reading/writing is no longer a chore for him.”

Shannon Jones, Client Testimony

Shannon J. (Parent of 1st Grade Student)

“We had a great experience with our son in Miss Marisa’s fifth grade class. He went from struggling in school and slipping through the cracks to being held accountable and getting good grades. We always knew he was in good hands! We were always confident that our son was mastering the standards and that Miss Marisa sincerely cared about his education. We highly recommend Miss Marisa, as she is an excellent teacher!”

Marissa Braun, Client Testimony

Marissa B. (Parent of 5th Grade Student)

“We so appreciate everything Marisa Donnelly has done for our son. You pushed him harder than he has been pushed and he rose to the occasion. We can tell that he enjoyed this year. Thank you!”
