The experience was great.

I was surprised to see my daughter so confident and concentrated during her tutoring session. She has ADHD, and she gets very anxious and distracted easily, but during her one-on-one session, she was very focused.

The lesson was enjoyable for my son and me.

I recommend this program to all children struggling with the dynamics of reading.
