Elizabeth W.

16 Phonics lessons

She has a wealth of experience as a teacher and also a wealth of experience as a reading specialist. My daughter needs help with both Math and Phonics/Reading, so finding Susan fills both of those needs. I would definitely recommend Susan. In two lessons, she has taught my daughter "little tricks" for subtraction and addition that are helping her with her timed Math tests. She has been great!
Heidi C.

22 Phonics lessons

My son had his own cubby and notebook where he recorded all of the new material he learned. She took the time to really know him and even tailored his lessons around. For example, he has a fear/fascination with thunder and weather so she sought out reading passages that involved that. In addition to teaching phonics, she also realized the importance of him learning vital study skills such as highlighting facts in passages and incorporated writing skills.
Shaneika W.

64 Phonics lessons

I have tried all kinds of programs, Hooked on Phonics, Kumon, ABC Mouse, Reading Eggs, and even other tutors. In November 2013, Dominic was diagnosed with Convergence Insufficiency, where his eyes do not “team” well for the purpose of reading. While he seemed to do better with therapy, he was still very much behind with his reading skills. Over the summer (between third and fourth grade), I sought the help of finding a tutor through WzyAnt.
