150 Phonics lessons

We have had Erin as a tutor for the past couple of years. While with us, she has taught a variety of ages and developmental stages, as we care for children with developmental delays. Erin has been an enthusiastic tutor who has a way of motivating particularly the younger students to develop skills, such as phonics, spelling and reading. The children have enjoyed working with Erin!
KB B.

76 Phonics lessons

His physician recommended he have phonics training. I was not able to find anyone locally with training in the Barton program so decided to give online tutoring a try. This has worked surprisingly well. He has face to face contact with Sheryl throughout the session and using the computer helps to keep him engaged throughout the session. Sheryl is extremely patient and provides lots of positive feedback.
Mary S.

4 Phonics lessons

Anita came to our house and reviewed with my son on phonics. She was able to make an assessment on his knowledge and help us to work with him and focus on his needs as well. My son felt very comfortable with her. She was very positive and encouraged him to sound out words that he was unfamiliar with. She also gave us assignments to help strengthen my son's reading skills. She is a joy to work with.
