Meghan H.

70 Phonics lessons

She has been working with my son for about 5 months. When he first started his lessons with Ms. Ginger he was not very excited to go to a tutor for help with school. Since that time and with a lot of patience from Ms. Ginger; he has started to enjoy his lessons. His penmanship and spelling have increased tremendously and his reading comprehension has grown as well due to her review of basic phonics and grammar rules.
Karli C.

90 Phonics lessons

Laurel could spot immediately that my daughter was missing some basic phonics which was holding her back on sounding/spelling words effectively. On the first lesson, Laurel and my daughter connected perfect. She found ways for my daughter to grasp the concepts fast and easily remembered. Within weeks, we saw a huge improvement. My next parent teacher conference, my daughter received At Benchmark grades and was not going to be tested for IEP classes.
Holly B.

51 Phonics lessons

My 7 year old son has worked with Jennifer for six months. Despite being bright, he couldn't master phonemic awareness and phonics through his instruction at school alone. He felt stupid and avoided books at all costs. Now he has begun to read proudly and states that 'Journal Time' is his favorite activity at school. He walks down the hallway with his nose buried in a book! What helped immeasurably was Jennifer T's ability to pinpoint instruction to his exact level.
