E. Carmen Ramos R.
53 Phonics lessons
We are fortunate we found her to tutor our eight year old son who has been struggling with phonics. She is kind, positive, fun and has the right authority to command his attention. It is so helpful that she is a teacher in the same county district that our son attends. This means she understands and is familiar with his curriculum. She is very organized and clear in her approach. She brings materials and gives us exercises to do at home with our son.
Heidi R.
34 Phonics lessons
The school just kept saying "keep reading with him." Mike knew it wasn't a fluency issue, it was phonics. He also is able to bring our son into a good mood no matter what his attitude is when I drop him off. We had a couple weeks break before starting our school year this year and our son kept asking when he was going to see him again. As much as he fights help at home, he LOVES tutoring. So thankful we found Mike!!!!
