Testimonials
My daughter was struggling in her sophomore literature class. Stephanie made a plan to help her complete her assignments and worked on literacy skills. She taught her how to take notes and find relevant information from her texts which was her main struggle. Her lessons were on point and she is a very caring person - SoniaÂ
Stephanie worked with my 8 year old son who was behind grade level in reading. She was very patient in teaching him how to read and answer questions about the book. In 3 months he dramatically increased his reading level. He is now reading on grade level and learned new words! It is a joy to see how confident he is reading now. We are so happy with his progress! - Justine
