Darnell R. says, "Dennis has been an amazing tutor for my 8 year old sister. We started working with him in December of 2024 and the gains/progress that she has made across both Math and Reading have been amazing and couldnt have been possible without Dennis. There is not a single complaint or issue regarding Dennis and I would recommend him to any parents who are looking for a tutor for their child."See more

Michele N. says, "We cannot say enough great things about Stacy. Through her instruction, our daughter's reading and writing skills were elevated almost immediately and thus, her confidence in herself as a student. The level of work that Stacy was able to extract from our daughter was so impressive, and her self-esteem rose demonstrably as a result. We are so thankful to have Stacy in our lives, and are eternally grateful to her."See more

Jenney G. says, "My daughter struggled with reading to the point that she'd developed many strategies to hide and avoid being exposed. Finally she was caught, but her confidence and self esteem were extremely low. I tried for about a year to research what might be wrong and how to help, and thought I could fix it myself since I taught all seven of her older siblings to read. But we got nowhere, and grew in nothing but frustration and discouragement. We started working with Ms. Catherine and within two months my daughter was reading at grade level, attempting harder reading materials, and, most importantly, growing in confidence in all areas of her life. Ms. Catherine's guided exercises and consistent follow-up pinpointed the trouble areas and gave her the tools she needed to decode words and gain facility at reading longer, more challenging passages. We continued with lessons My daughter will probably never love reading, but she doesn't dread it anymore, and willingly picks up books for pleasure instead of avoiding them. I would recommended Ms. Catherine to anyone struggling with reading at any level!"See more

Elizabeth Raymond says, "Heidi is an exceptional teacher. Her approach is gentle yet goal oriented. She meets the person she is teaching where they are, develops a plan to help overcome obstacles, encourages success and adjusts her style/plan as needed. She immerses herself in her own learning so she can bring her expertise into her teaching sessions. She explains in a way that is easy to understand and if she sees that understanding is not occurring she looks for examples or ways to adjust her approach to fit the individuals needs so that learning can occur. She is always prepared. I highly recommend Heidi because her approach, compassion and the care she gives to those she teaches."See more
