17 Phonics lessons

Stephen is a great tutor! Very patient and punctual although my daughter has been reading since she was 2 she never really learned phonics. She is making great progress with Stephen's help.
Shaohua S.

6 Phonics lessons

We have been working with Brenda to teach my daughter phonics using Wyzant online tool. We are very impressed by three things from Brenda:1) She is an expert in phonics. She knows how kids learn and she teaches my daughter very efficiently. When I teach my daughter myself, she didn't like to learn but with Brenda she looks forward to the lecture every time. 2) My daughter is five, therefore an online session can be challenging.
Heidi R.

34 Phonics lessons

We found him as we were frustrated with our son getting no help at school. Our son has come so far, and has so many more "tools" to tackle his phonics problem and continues to improve all the time. 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.
