Jane F.

27 Reading lessons

This was my first time trying to hire a tutor off of a Google search but I have to say that I am delighted with Stacey D. She comes with a wealth of experience in the Read Right program as well as identifying potential causes of problems in reading fluency, comprehension, and processing. After one session, I already noticed my daughter more actively engaged in reading and putting more expression and fluency into her reading cadence.
Riley M.

30 Reading lessons

I’ve personally have gone through multiple tutors for help in reading because that’s what I struggle with most. Daniel took the time to understand what obstacle I had to overcome and what I needed to improve in order to get a better reading score. He was incredibly patient with me and always made sure I was 100% clear on what he was saying before moving on. I brought him my former reading scores and he was able to dissect the main problems.
Alysse T.

5 Reading lessons

She wanted to go through every single question I got wrong and would spend time reading the explanations in the back of the book, when I had already gone through that process. It was often frustrating because I had already taken time to do that and I didn't need her reading the book explanation to me again. With questions I still didn't understand after reading the book explanation, I wanted assistance.
