About Abby Forcier, M.Ed
I was inspired to offer my services as a learning specialist in 2014 after working for several years in public and private school, teaching various grade levels and subject areas. Although I loved working with my students in a classroom space, I found the best and most productive learning occurred in small groups and during one on one time. I also knew that students facing learning disabilities and those who struggled in a specific area benefited most from the individual attention and care. I wanted to reach more of these children and help them to regain their confidence.
Tutoring and teaching small classes are my passion as they allow me to tailor learning to the individual and provide children with opportunities to build confidence. I believe children should be guided to recognize their individual strengths instead of comparing themselves to others, and use their interests, skills, and knowledge to set learning goals, overcome challenges, and build independence. I have a M.Ed and over 17 years of teaching experience in private and public classrooms, homeschool co-ops, Title 1, and one on one settings. I have completed the Brain Gym 101 course offered by Breakthroughs International, which allows me to do Brain Integration Therapy.
Please feel free to contact me to learn more about how I can help empower your child to become a lifelong learner through guided mentoring.
WHAT PARENTS SAY
We went to Realized Learning looking for an option outside of summer school for our 5 year old son with one on one tutoring to help him continue momentum in academic skills. Abby was so engage from day one providing continuous feedback and best of all making it a fun experience that our son looked forward to going back each week. His confidence has greatly improved and is in a great position being more prepared for the upcoming school year. Don’t hesitate to reach out, Realized Learning was a great experience for our family.
We feel grateful for Abby’s support with our daughter’s reading journey. Abby really tunes into her needs and our needs as a family as a whole. Her creative and patience with our child is so wonderful! Thank you, Abby!
This summer we attended with Abby, and my son learned reading and writing skills. She’s very kind, and my son felt comfortable with her. She was a real help to us.
My son really enjoyed working with Abby this summer. She is super personable and made the sessions fun and comfortable for him.
We love Abby! My 13 yr old has a great report with Abby. All the assignments are clear and helpful. My child has accomplished so much with Abby’s help this year! Highly recommended!
Great Tutor. Very happy with Abby. She is thorough, supportive and handles many aspects of tutoring our child. From communicating with his teachers to organizing his schoolbag. She is a positive influence on our kid. Thank you Abby
Excellent tutor of math and English including high school math!
Great connecting with student!
Highly recommend!!
Abby was a huge help to our son. Not only did she help him with both math and ELA, but she also helped him develop stratgeies to support his emerging time managment and task organization skills. She helped him to develop new skills and build confidence, which has been such a benefit to him. I would highly recommend her services!
Abby is great! She was recommended by a friend who consults with local school educators. Abby is warm, professional, and encouraging. Without her weekly sessions, catching up on reading skills would have been a real chore and likely met with resistance from my child. She brings energy and cheer to every session, and my kiddo always leaves in a good mood.
Abby is realistic about setting expectations given the limited tutoring time, what can or cannot happen at home (she never made me feel ashamed or lacking as a parent), and my child’s own inclinations. She gives a positive, proactive recap after each session. She truly meets my child where he is, adapting the sessions to make them both enjoyable and productive.
What really stands out is that she treats my child like a person, without patronizing him. Not all adults—even educators—have this mindset or skill. We are very happy to have her helping bring the joy of reading into our kiddo’s life!
Abby has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Very thorough and tailored with her approach, based on our students needs. Look forward to continuing to work with her. Highly recommend!
I began working with Abby in January 2026, when we started working with her two days a week to help prepare Seb for kindergarten. From the very beginning, Abby has been extraordinary.
She has a wonderful way of connecting with Seb and making learning enjoyable. She is patient, caring, and truly passionate about what she does. She takes the time to understand our family’s needs and has individualized her approach to help Seb learn and grow in the best way possible.
We have seen so much progress in Seb since working with Abby. He has learned so much, and he genuinely looks forward to seeing Abby each week. He enjoys learning and working with her, which says so much about the positive relationship she has built with him.
We are incredibly grateful for Abby’s dedication, kindness, and passion. She has made such a positive difference in Seb learning journey, and we highly recommend her!
My child just completed their second summer of literacy tutoring with Abby, and we could not recommend her more! She is fun, knowledgeable and engaging. She really gets kids, and knows how to keep them focused while still having a blast.
Abby Forcier of Realized Learning is adept at understanding kids. Our 7th grader and 4th grader’s ELA and organizational skills flourished with her guidance. She figures out what works best to address each child’s challenges and does so with humor, enthusiasm and patience. Her services have a huge “ROI”. Our kids have learned skills that they will take with them going forward. They are enthusiastic about going to tutoring because Abby makes things interesting and fun. Our family highly recommends Realized Learning.
Our experience with Abby has been tremendously positive! Our 8-year-old son looks forward to his weekly sessions with her and has repeatedly left saying, “that was so much fun!” Abby is enthusiastic, creative in her teaching approaches, proactive, and regularly reaches out to his school teachers to coordinate. Our son went from being behind in his reading and writing abilities to now being slightly ahead and most importantly now enjoys both!
Abby is an enthusiastic and skilled tutor who has inspired our son and really engages him in the learning process. She is so communicative and attentive to his needs and concerns. We are so grateful we found her! Highly recommend her to anyone needing some focus and reigniting interest in learning.
Abby is amazing. We had tried other services to assist our son with his reading challenges, Abby was able to connect with him on a level that brought out true engagement. We are so grateful to have found her.
Abby is an amazing educator. Her approach to learning is fun and effective. My son became a significantly better reader in just a few weeks because of her. He looked forward to his tutoring sessions each week and he is excited to continue his sessions during the school year. I highly recommend Abby to anyone interested in tutoring.
Abby has been nothing short of amazing. My son looks forward to working with her every week. She cracked the code and has figured out a way to make learning fun and exciting for all! We have made so much progress since working together. We couldn’t be happier. You will not be disappointed.
Abby is engaging, funny, organized and patient. We have worked with her for several years with two homeschooled kids on a variety of topics and I have always found her to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Abby’s tutoring for anyone seeking a little extra educational support!
Abby is an incredible tutor. She is bright, energetic, highly intelligent and she has a good sense of humor. Our student feels better about their entire academic experience after working with her. She’s dynamic and very hard working. She has been remarkably helpful with our child’s education overall– stepping in to help all of us navigate his education in school as well. We can’t recommend her more highly. She has worked with several friends in the area as well– and they also have had excellent experiences.
Abby is amazing! She’s very flexible and will work with you and your child to develop the curriculum that fits. My son enjoys going each week and is thriving with reading and writing. Highly recommended.
Excellent! Abby is warm, fun, engaging, and knowledgeable. My shy kid was quick to warm-up and he learned so much. Abby is skilled in instruction and in relationship-building (that aids in learning.)
Abby is such a fantastic tutor, she has developed a wonderful rapport with my daughter and has taken a skillful approach to helping her with her literacy challenges. It’s impressive to see the improvements and knowing that my daughter enjoys her sessions is icing on the cake. All kids should be so lucky to have someone like her helping them!
Abby has been working with our oldest for several years now, starting in middle school and progressing up into high school. She helped him overcome math anxiety and develop a solid understanding of the work. She’s been organized, professional, friendly, and a great partner for our family in supporting our children’s education. Would recommend.
Abby has provided services for our son and has done an amazing job! We highly recommended her. Our son really enjoys his time with her and improvements have been noted by both our family and teachers. She is great with communication and provides excellent supplemental materials for our son to work with at home. She also makes herself available to explain progress, explain work at home projects and more.
Abby does an amazing job at making her students feel in command of their studies.
What would we do without Realized Learning? Abby is such an incredible skillful, intuitive and gifted teacher. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found her for our 14 year old,
It’s been great to work with Abby over the last year. My 8 year old son has always struggled with reading and things only got worse when he transitioned to remote learning due to COVID. Abby has been very accommodating to his learning/behavioral needs by incorporating body movements, games (w/ prizes!) and more recently, Hi-Lo books to help keep him motivated. After seeing the improvements in his reading ability, I decided to sign up his little brother as well. They love to show me the prizes they’ve won or stories they’ve written after each session.
Our family has worked with Abby for several years and our experience has been wonderful. When I have felt stuck homeschooling two kids, Abby has helped us move through difficult areas. Abby was able to transition to remote learning seamlessly and we were able to continue working with her throughout Covid which has been really helpful. Both of my kids have enjoyed working with Abby. She is organized, patient, funny and very skilled at what she does! I have recommended Abby to many friends who have also loved working with her. Thank you Abby!
A few years back, my daughter and I hit a wall in our ability to write together as a homeschooling family. Every day was an uphill climb wrought with tears and struggle with a deepening belief that my child/student hated writing. I reached out to our homeschool community and a highly recommended Abby Forcier was soon in our life. We haven’t looked back since. Abby’s natural and uplifting enthusiasm and genuine care in her students was a game changer for us. Three classes and some private tutoring later, my daughter is independently and eagerly writing almost daily. She has several stories going right now. Pennie is even co-writing a few narratives with friends. She has found her writing stride and we are deeply grateful for the support and influence Abby has had on our school experience and writer’s voice.
My son was a late reader (mid third grade) and diagnosed late with a subset of Dyslexia so his writing skills were delayed a bit as well. Additionally he struggles with fine motor skills so the physical act of writing was a challenge for J. Abby was able to use his incredible expressive language skills and assistive technology to really allow his written voice to be heard. We did 2 classes with Abby and took a bit of an extended break, just to allow for maturity and practice. We are enrolled for our third class and I couldn’t be more pleased to have Abby as a part of our homeschool “team”.
Realized Learning has been such a wonderful experience for our family. Abby does a fantastic job and is so great with our daughter. She follows the lead of her students and gives a fully customized experience for each student, which is so beneficial. She also goes above and beyond with her communication and clarity with parents, which is very generous and helpful. We were so happy to find Abby and Realized Learning for tutoring. It is exactly what we were looking for (and more). Thank you for what you do!
