Karen F.

42 Phonics lessons

I knew immediately after my daughter's first tutoring session that I found the perfect tutor, she exceeded my expectations. After her initial assessment, she quickly identified my daughter's decoding problems and developed a strategy to work with her. Paige's French language skills were crucial in teaching my daughter the differences between French vs. English phonics. Paige has also been great in helping her with writing/spelling skills.
Holly B.

51 Phonics lessons

My 7 year old son has worked with Jennifer for six months. Despite being bright, he couldn't master phonemic awareness and phonics through his instruction at school alone. He felt stupid and avoided books at all costs. Now he has begun to read proudly and states that 'Journal Time' is his favorite activity at school. He walks down the hallway with his nose buried in a book! What helped immeasurably was Jennifer T's ability to pinpoint instruction to his exact level.
Monica C.

14 Phonics lessons

We are delighted to review our tutor Ms. Julieta R. After 4 tutors and feelings of disappointment we finally found her among all the tutors that contacted us. We needed someone with the patience, knowledge and care to teach a 5 years old boy, phonics and how to read. We've only have had her for a three weeks, although we can already see the transformation in our son's interest for reading.
