Shatica M.

21 lessons

As a single and working mom, I am constantly looking for ways to spend more time to focus on my son's reading and overall educational development. I was introduced to WyzAnt and thus found Janet. My son began reading and math lessons with Janet as he was just about to enter 1st grade. I loved how she took time to get to know him during the first few sessions which in turn made him more receptive and built the trust needed for him to succeed.

Graciela has been tutoring my daughter for 1.5 years and has made such an impact on her reading. I noticed my daughter struggled with reading in the 1st grade, but by the time she was in 2nd grade she was far behind the class. I hired Graciela as a tutor at that point and I have seen such a remarkable improvement in my daughter reading. She went into 3rd grade reading at a 2.6 and is now reading at a 4.5 mid school year.
