Alicia is so so so wonderful! I just love how she works with my son who is on the spectrum. She is so creative and full of new ideas that will appeal to him. Her knowledge about how to educate kids with special needs is beyond what I could ask for. I can tell that she thinks of his needs before we meet each week. She brings the exact kind of things to read that he loves without me saying a word. She's kind and genuinely wants to help my son to learn.

Ellen has been a complete delight to have for a tutor for the summer for our daughter. Our daughter has special needs and Ellen has taught us and her new coping skills to deal with the needs. She is a delight with our daughter and a delight to talk to and to work with. I would suggest anyone seeking out a tutor to contact Ellen. I wish we could have more time together, but school shall begin soon. Thank you for posting her and I give her four out of four stars.

She has talked with our son's teacher, brought in her own supplies and is so creative. She wants to keep our son's attention (which can be a challenge) and always keeps him guessing what's going to come next. We have a child with special needs and Stacy treats him like any other child, but adjusts to his needs. She can also see the light that is inside of him, which makes us feel so good. I can't say enough about her - we are so grateful.
