Sheila Makes Learning Fun!
We’ve been working with Sheila for reading and writing support for our 10-year-old, and she has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, Sheila has shown flexibility, creativity, and a deep understanding of how to engage young learners. She tutors our son twice a week, focusing on reading fluency and writing, and we’ve already seen great improvement in both his confidence and skills. What’s most impressive is how much our 3rd grader enjoys his time with her—he doesn’t whine about lessons or need reminders. In fact, he actively looks forward to their sessions! Sheila has a great way of tuning into his interests and channeling that into meaningful learning. Her positive energy, thoughtful lesson planning, and genuine connection with our son have made a world of difference. We’re so grateful to have found Sheila and highly recommend her to any family looking for a supportive and engaging tutor.

Knowledgeable and very experienced
For the past couple months, Sheila has been working with my twins who are struggling readers and will be getting tested for LD. She has been monumental in helping them read. I can already hear and see some improvement in my girls and that is HUGE especially with how hard they’ve been struggling last year and especially this year. Sheila always has her lesson plans ready which include a lot of “tricks” up her sleeves for the kiddos to enjoy while learning. She’s amazing! I’m a teacher myself (music) and I have no idea how she executes her lessons so flawlessly filled with so many engaging activities. I’m really glad we found her to help supplement my girls learning. I’d highly recommend her whether you are learning English or Spanish! (We are doing Spanish since my girls are in a Spanish immersion program.) I can only imagine her experience in English literacy if her teaching Spanish is of such high quality!
