Testimonials

Katie has a gift! She supported our son’s reading through private tutoring sessions. Ethan was in elementary school at the time and just diagnosed with ADHD. Katie’s calm and gentle encouragement provided him with the confidence to succeed in school.

- Tonya, grade 3 parent in Jakarta, Indonesia

Working with Ms. Katie, my son’s attitude about reading changed completely. He couldn’t wait to meet with her each week, and his confidence and reading fluency improved incredibly quickly. His teachers noticed a substantial difference in his schoolwork, and most importantly, his self-esteem related to academics improved, making school, in general, a more positive experience for him.

- Erin, Grade 2 parent in Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Katie has been a lifesaver and Godsend to our family during these unprecedented times. Katie taught our children reading, writing, math, behavioral development, and so much more! Katie provided consistency and familiarity during ever-changing times. We truly would not be where we are without her!”

- Joi, kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 3 parent in Georgetown, Guyana

Our daughter said tonight at dinner that you “get her.” And she happily did her session with you yesterday even though it was a day off from school – normally any tutoring on a non-school day is the source of much angst! So she is definitely enjoying the sessions.

- Marisa – grade 6 parent in Ontario, Canada

Ms. Katie has been working with our daughter for several months now. Previously, our daughter would just guess at words and now she is developing the skills essential to furthering her learning! We have seen such an incredible change in her reading and her confidence.

I am more grateful than I can say for your wonderful class. It has made a world of difference for my son (and me). It gives him a joyful reason to wake up in the morning, and that is incredible.
