TESTIMONIALS
Kelly has served countless students to excel in not only reaching their educational goals, but also by building confidence in themselves. Check out some of the many testimonials parents have shared with Kelly on how her support has changed their child’s life.
Kelly has made a huge difference in my first grader’s life! Her teaching techniques have opened up a whole new world for him. We’re so happy with his renewed confidence, which has affected his grades, his independence, and his relationships at school. Would certainly recommend to anyone whose child is having difficulties with traditional learning.
Kelly was the answer for my son. She helped him go from an insecure reader to a budding book lover. His time with her boosted his confidence and improved his reading skills. She helped him catch up and get on grade level. Couldn’t be happier with Kelly!
Saioa has made an incredible progress reading and gaining self confidence. I wanted to thank you for the great coach you have been for her. I know that she misses you. Thank you so much, you have made a difference in her life!
Before reaching out to Kelly, I saw my happy 7 year old full of life, zest, and a love of learning; become frustrated, shutting down, and more irritable. I knew something was wrong, but the teachers for the previous two years reassured me that he didn’t have a learning disability “he was behind but he’d catch up.” Then my son informed me how another kid called him stupid for not reading at the same level. I was furious. I knew he was intelligent. His verbal skills were off the chart, he even placed in the gifted class but I also knew his struggle with reading. I too have dyslexia. Turns out so does my husband. I knew statistically the chances were high that our kids may have it as well. I was confused with what to do. The teachers I trusted were telling me it wasn’t a big deal but my intuition said something different.
I work with kids thankfully. A year prior to me reaching out to Kelly, an old client had raved about her and I saw the shift in this child’s confidence so I kept her information in my favorites (after being pleased with what I saw through my own research) just in case. This year my son’s teacher said it would help him catch up “even though he’d be fine without tutoring it just may take a little longer. “ Well, forget waiting I wanted my happy son back and longed for the day he wanted to learn again. Plus, I knew he genuinely had a problem (that’s my old belief, Kelly challenged me on this and now I see his learning style as a gift. Certainly a struggle for him) and was frustrated.
When I called her from the minute I heard her soft kind loving voice I was convinced she was the one to help my family. She started working with my older son who refused initially because I’m sure to some extent he wanted “to be normal” and not have to need extra help. Kelly knew exactly how to connect with him, get him to buy into the team approach and truly understanding the strengths of how his brain works rather than the pathology I was raised in that our system continues to perpetuate. Kelly took extra time to explain her approach, techniques, and get to know us.
Then my younger son’s teacher who is in kindergarten, the opposite of my older son’s experience, was insisting he get tutoring. Kelly provided barriers to his age but never hesitated to help him as well. Making changes to her schedule and meeting place, to reaching out to both kids teachers as their advocates. I swear Kelly is a true gift and I would strongly recommend her to any family who’s child is struggling. Now my kids look forward to meeting with her and my older son recently read in front of 15 people during a holiday meal. Needless to say I was crying reflecting on his journey and perseverance. We would not be where we are now without Kelly and we will forever be grateful to her!
