Scott M.

25 Phonics lessons

But most of all Kate has improved Alisa's reading significantly and we thank her greatly for this. Besides Kate's evident teaching ability, she is compassionate, thoughtful, flexible; and Alisa, even though at times not wanting to do more study, enjoyed working with Kate and has been motivated to work hard on her reading. We highly recommend Kate as a phonics teacher.
Olga S.

133 Phonics lessons

Thanks to Linda and all the hard work they did together, my daughter went from falling painfully behind in reading and comprehension to reading at the grade level and above. She progressed 4 to 5 levels in reading this year. Linda evaluated my daughter's reading skills and quickly understood that the typical phonics method would not work for my daughter.
Gabriela O.

7 Phonics lessons

I am happy we found her. She is teaching my six-year-old boy Jolly Phonics multi-sensory method, which is very motivating for my son. She keeps teaching fun, which makes learning interesting for my six-year-old boy, and any parent knows that could be difficult at times.
