Elizabeth W.

16 Phonics lessons

She has a wealth of experience as a teacher and also a wealth of experience as a reading specialist. My daughter needs help with both Math and Phonics/Reading, so finding Susan fills both of those needs. I would definitely recommend Susan. In two lessons, she has taught my daughter "little tricks" for subtraction and addition that are helping her with her timed Math tests. She has been great!
Shaneika W.

64 Phonics lessons

I have tried all kinds of programs, Hooked on Phonics, Kumon, ABC Mouse, Reading Eggs, and even other tutors. In November 2013, Dominic was diagnosed with Convergence Insufficiency, where his eyes do not “team” well for the purpose of reading. While he seemed to do better with therapy, he was still very much behind with his reading skills. Over the summer (between third and fourth grade), I sought the help of finding a tutor through WzyAnt.
Amy M.

14 Phonics lessons

While holding 1 hour sessions 2x a week, my son's reading skills DID NOT progress. She agreed to increase the sessions for 6 weeks, but 4 sessions later advised me that she was taking the last two weeks off. This provided me with 2 remaining sessions and 3 weeks of summer left. Honestly, after the money spent, we would have been better off using the KUMON learning center and/or Hooked on Phonics programs.
