Client Testimonials

“I liked the method of teaching. It made it very easy for me to learn. Now I'm able to read signs when I'm driving and I am able to read my text messages. Before I used to take it to someone else to read; now I can read it myself and I'm understanding what I'm reading.”

"I am so grateful for this program and that you are providing a tutor for my children. My daughter is doing much better even though she still needs to practice more. My son is struggling, and I don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have this tutoring program. Thank you so much! ”
