Katherine has been a wonderful tutor for my 7 year old special needs son this summer. From the start, she established a caring relationship with him and that has made a huge difference in his willingness to do the work. She understands his academic and emotional needs well and teaches in a creative and flexible way. He looks forward to his visits with Katherine! I highly recommend her as a tutor.

Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable on how to teach struggling readers to read and she understands the special needs of our children. With Elizabeth, you not only get a tutor, but you also gain an advocate for your child. She will go above and beyond what any other tutor will do for you. She is willing to fight for what our children need by helping assist us through the IEP process or even attend IEP meetings with us.

My son enjoys going to tutor with Ms. Cara. She is very good with him and understanding his needs. Ms. Cara is great a letting me know his strengths and what we need to work on. More importantly to me and for my son she is familiar with special needs and it makes it easier when he is having a bad day. He always leaves Ms. Cara happier then when he got there. She is great!!
