From Parents
"This is definitely worth the time and money if your kiddo us struggling. Having an outside professional removes the internal struggle that kids and parents go through and the skill level of the teachers is awesome." ~Wendy
"Confidence in sounding out and using other tools they normally are too embarrassed to use when paired peers or even surrounded by peers. They both are liking to read more than before tutoring." ~Maya
"Ángel has had more confidence in him and I have noticed that he has improved in asking questions more if he does not understand something. He is beginning to spell words that he did not do before. In mathematics, he has improved before he had very low levels, now he is more clear about how to add and is subtract." ~Blanca
