Excellent Tutor
My daughters reading and comprehension has improved tremendously in the last couple months and I'm sure that is because of her weekly tutoring sessions. Deloris is very kind and patient. My daughter does get restless at times due to long school days but Deloris has been patient in these instances. My daughter looks forward to her sessions and ends them in great spirits

Remarkable tutoring experience, very professional
It's clear that Deloris is very experienced at tutoring students virtually. Even though it was our first session, she was able to dive right in with my 2nd grade son and get to work. She had plenty of materials prepared and was able to keep him engaged for the entire hour—no small feat! We're looking forward to continuing to work with Deloris in the future.

Engaging online
She was able to keep my daughter's attention online, which isn't easy! Our first session was impressive and we will continue to see how the online tutoring works to help her learn to read.

Encouraging and skilled tutor in reading and spelling
My 9-year old daughter worked with Deloris over the summer and she provided a great start to my daughter's journey with Orton-Gillingham. I highly recommend Deloris. She has an upbeat and encouraging manner and gets a lot done in one session. She is very well organized and makes great use of the hour session. I like how each session involved work on skills like practicing short vowels or blends, contextual reading, and also sentence writing. I was impressed with how skillfully she uses a variety of online tools and games to foster learning. I bought one reading program for us to use to practice reading on off days and we also learned about lots of free online games from her for practicing various literacy skills. We only had to stop seeing her due to scheduling conflicts.

Does a Great Job Keeping My Son Engaged
We have been using Mrs. Deloris for about 2 months. I have seen improvement in my son's reading comprehension and essay writing. I have tried everything to get him engaged in reading without success, but she seems to know what makes him tick. Highly recommended.

Outstanding Tutor
My son enjoys tutoring with Deloris. He looks forward to their lessons! She is very patient and understanding. She's also easy to reach and has a report for me every session. I am just as excited as my son is with his progress. She's the best!!
