There’s nothing more rewarding than helping a child practice reading and watching them suddenly become able to read. I love seeing them making a choice to become better readers during the first lesson - it brings me joy and fulfillment and continues to inspire me every day.

"What I enjoy most about teaching is watching kids' excitement."

What I enjoy most about reading for 5th graders is seeing their excitement as they connect with stories and grow in confidence. I’ve tried multiple teaching techniques, and I know what works best to help them develop the skills to write their essays, stories, and poems, and to express their ideas creatively.

I highly recommend this program.

Thus far, it has been a good experience. She can stay on task, and the tutors are very friendly. It is evident that building rapport and making learning a “fun” experience is an important key factor in learning. The mixed techniques help keep my daughter engaged. I highly recommend this program.
