Real stories from real people

Shatica M.

21 lessons

I was introduced to WyzAnt and thus found Janet. My son began reading and math lessons with Janet as he was just about to enter 1st grade. I loved how she took time to get to know him during the first few sessions which in turn made him more receptive and built the trust needed for him to succeed. I saw results after the very first session, meaning my son was asking me "mom, when is she coming back." Any mom knows that's a great sign of things to come.
LaTonya C.

She also asked me if it's was okay for her to share Aaron's story with other teachers, because when Aaron begin with Janet he was at a D level that level is considerably below 1st grade. So now he is at the level that he's suppose to be, which is 2nd grade. Janet is awesome, the progress that Aaron has made in 4 months is truly amazing, she has not only improved his reading, but has built up his confidence. Now he loves to read, he's reading chapter books at home to me!
Erin D.

And we were looking for some math and reading exercises for my older daughter (going into 3rd grade). Pat connected with the girls right away and they really enjoyed their time with her. She had worksheets, books, and both homemade and store-bought games to keep them engaged. She lent us books and games between each session so we could review at home. My K daughter is now reading at the level she needs for Nov/Dec of her 1st grade year, which is great progress.
