Knowledgeable, patient and kind

Mr. JOHN IS PERFECT WHAT MY SON NEEDS. He is kind but he re enforces what needs to be learned and young kids especially my little one needs that reenforment. We areooking forward to many more lessons to help my son in reading.

Good strategy.

John has good content and also provides step by step guidance to students. Supportive towards students and encourages them. He has some books that students read and it’s organized with different formats. So that’s good approach.

Knowledgeable dyslexia tutor

My son is seven and I wondered how he was going to respond to the curriculum and style of tutoring John described to me in our first phone call. I am very open minded and John's easy going personality made it easy to move forward with that first lesson. My son had 4-5 months of tutoring 4 times a week which was a good foundation. John claimed that two days a week would be enough under his tutelage. My son responded so quickly it amazed his teachers and his very skeptical mother. His ability to retain what he read changed at an astounding rate as well. His memory and ability to retain directions was a weak area that has also improved dramatically. We went to the evaluation for his dyslexia and speech at his school after those three weeks with John. We found out he was reading progress 3 levels in 3 weeks, speech therapy was no longer needed. My son is proof that John's teaching style matched with his personality, gives the tools that make age a non factor.

Dedicated and innovative. Gets along great with my teen!

John taught my older teen some reading skills to help her keep up with her demanding course load. Not having benefitted from formal remediation for dyslexia when she was younger, her reading difficulties really caught up with her partway through high school. John has amazing insight and is so eager to help others.

Specific skills, training and expertise

At this time, Wyatt has had 11 one-hour sessions with Mr. Adams, and he is beginning to read simple books (such as Mouse About the House), is picking up books on his own, and is attempting reading with more confidence! Wyatt has had roughly 3 hours a day of reading and writing instruction at school, for 180 days a year, for over 4 years now. That equates to over 2,160 hours of instructional time at public school. He has had 11 hours of instruction with Mr. Adams, and has made more reading progress than all of those hours in the care of the BSD. This is because Mr. Adams has the specific skills, training and expertise needed to actually meet his needs. I know that the teachers and paras working with Wyatt are well-intentioned and are trying their best, but they are ill-equipped to meet the specific needs of Wyatt’s dyslexia and dysgraphia.

Unable to actually do this

The lesson is for my grandson...and I am several states away. He will tell you that it was good. But, what else do you expect from an 11 y/o boy? So far, there is no fighting about the lessons. And, the learning may be subtle.

Exceptionally knowledgeable, patient & caring. We all love John like our family.

My wife and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found John Adams to help improve our son's reading. His teaching is superb at so many different levels. Not only is each session challenging and well tailored to our son's needs, but John's interaction with our son during each session is explarary. He is engaging, exceptionally knowledgeable, and provides frequent guidance and feedback to our son in a way that is patient and caring. The result is that our son stays engaged and enjoys each session while building upon John's previous instruction. Our son has made tremendous progress in reading this year and we are certain that this is largely attributable to John's expertise, love of teaching and attention to our son's needs. We could not be happier with John and he comes with our highest recommendation. Thank you John for all you do.

So far so good!

I’ve had two sessions with John so far and my daughter is responding to his method of teaching. I have search far and wide for someone to help my daughter’s comprehension skills and I’m so glad to have found John. I will provide an update after we have had more sessions.
