Heidi C.

22 Phonics lessons

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. I also appreciated the notes she wrote up after each lesson so I knew what they worked on and her willingness to talk with me outside of the hour to address any concerns I had.
Amy M.

14 Phonics lessons

Polina was okay and timely when she showed for appointments. She was hired to work with my son through the summer months in efforts to catch him up on phonics and reading skills. She requires 2 hour's notice for cancelled appointments. However, on the 3rd week, I received a 45 minute notice that she was unable to make the appointment and then another cancellation 2 weeks later. While holding 1 hour sessions 2x a week, my son's reading skills DID NOT progress.
Ginger S.

21 Phonics lessons

She is teaching pre K and phonics, alphabet with my 5 year old grandson. She's amazing! I am in awe of how focused she keeps my grandson during the entire hour of tutoring. She has a gift with children! Jack responds very well to her and she is very knowledgeable and gifted!
