Trinity P.

15 lessons

This was my kids (both have special needs) first session with Zachary. During the lesson, I could tell that this was going to be a good fit for my family's needs. Zachary cared about what I was telling him and want the long-term educational goals I would like to see my kids reach. I listen in on each of my kids as he tutor from time to time. Each of my kids were listening in and participating with him.
Dee Dee C.

59 lessons

Alicia is so so so wonderful! I just love how she works with my son who is on the spectrum. She is so creative and full of new ideas that will appeal to him. Her knowledge about how to educate kids with special needs is beyond what I could ask for. I can tell that she thinks of his needs before we meet each week. She brings the exact kind of things to read that he loves without me saying a word. She's kind and genuinely wants to help my son to learn.
Janice N.

177 lessons

I spoke with Kaye and she started tutoring him about 6 weeks ago, two to three times a week. My son is now reading, writing sentences, and counting at a very fast pace. Most important, he has high self esteem since he is learning and understanding. She has given me hope for my son, when for years, the school system has passed him through labeled special needs. He loves his sessions with Kaye.I would highly recommend her at any age level of tutoring needs.
