Glenda C.

31 lessons

His 1st grade teacher said there was no way he would get to grade level before 2nd grade. He is now going into 2nd grade reading...slowly but reading! His teacher was amazed at his progress. He would not have been able to accomplish this with just home help. Belinda has been so patient and encouraging to my son. Her teaching methods are individualized specifically to his learning style. She has years of experience and I am privileged to have her tutor my son.
Irene K.

137 lessons

We knew it would be a journey to get him to where his peers are and Michelle has helped so much with it. At the end of each lesson, she always meets with me to go over what they practiced and what he’s doing well with and the area he needs more help with. She is an amazing tutor and my son is always so excited to have his lessons with her and it’s making him enjoy school now. We are so grateful for all of her help and expertise with him.
ERICA T.

47 lessons

We have continued that to present time. My son's improvement has been amazing and at the end of 2nd grade he was reading independently and at the level he should be. By continuing the sessions it has kept him confident about his reading and writing, which has given him a great start for 3rd grade. Tina has been flexible, reliable and respectful to my child's needs. I greatly recommend her.
