-My 10 year old sonI am glad that Ms. Christine is helping me with my reading. I've gotten a lot better since I started working with her last year and now; in 1st grade, I have gotten a ton better. She helps me sound out words. She makes me feel comfortable and we have fun while we are doing our reading practice.

Thank you Linda for the information you provided me and helping out my son with his 1st grade subjects. Linda sets her rules in the beginning of session and follows through with them, which helps my son get back on track. It's great seeing you again. 😀

Can't say enough about Erica. I am a long distance grandma who was more than distressed to hear in late Spring that my granddaughter would not be promoted to 1st grade. I hired Erica for tutoring twice weekly. She communicated effectively - with the teacher, local and distant family - enabling us to function more effectively as team in a short period of time.
