Quote from my 1st grade daughter: "He explained everything at a pace I could understand. I think it helped me a ton."
Valerie C.

Olivia worked with my 1st grade son for about 7 months ( almost all of 1st grade). She came twice a week for an hour each. My son did NOT like reading and was behind in his class. Over the months he improved so much and he enjoyed her coming and him reading to her! She would play games to help with his skills as well. Not just boring ol' reading session. I highly recommend!
