Amy did a great job working with my nephew, a 7 year old 1st grader with reading challenges. Afterwards, she was open to going over various techniques to not only further assist with reading but also build confidence. Thank you Amy for getting us on the right track!

Mrs Halvorsen is the absolute BEST! The reason why I am able to write this review in English is because of her amazing skills. She is very passionate about helping others. She is also fluent in Spanish and understands the Latino Culture very well, which makes it a smooth process. I love her willingness to go the extra mile to ensure you are able to learn. Thank you, Mrs. Halvorsen for all your love and support. You are simply the best!

I charge $60 per hour if you meet me. If I have to drive to your location, I will add on a travel expense for gas.

I have two master's degrees. I am a certified elementary school teacher. I have also taught at NOVA Community College. I have taught in both Belgium and in Norway.
