70 Phonics lessons

Ms. Ginger is a phenomenal tutor. She has been working with my son for about 5 months. When he first started his lessons with Ms. Ginger he was not very excited to go to a tutor for help with school. Since that time and with a lot of patience from Ms. Ginger; he has started to enjoy his lessons. His penmanship and spelling have increased tremendously and his reading comprehension has grown as well due to her review of basic phonics and grammar rules.
Sage T.

44 Phonics lessons

In the current school, he takes ESL class every day but it is not enough to catch up the local school. So before sending him there, I let him study, talk and sing (National Antham) with Patricia. It worked very well! He improved phonics and writing skills. My son is shy and does not chat with strangers even in his mother language. But in the case with Patricia, he starts talking and singing cheerfully. She is not only a good teacher but also good singer.
