"Jodi and her program are nothing short of amazing. During the 7 weeks that she worked with my son, he developed the skills and confidence to excel at school which was confirmed multiple times through raving feedback from his teacher. Jodi's extremely professional and effective program together with her kind, caring and fun approach to engaging with children will no doubt provide your son/daughter with the support he/she needs to be a successful at school! We look forward to working with Jodi again in the future!"

"From the moment I met Ms. Jodi, I was impressed with her ability to engage and get to know my son. She really took the time to get to know him and his interests and used this to tailor her reading program. I especially liked seeing how each learning concept was broken down into sections that includes reading, comprehension, word building and games. Her print outs that she provides helps keep the curriculum organized and easy to practice. She also offers a selection of books and games we can use after each session to practice. My son is so engaged in her classes and her warm, patient and humorous approach brings enjoyment to each session. I highly recommend her program to anyone who is looking to improve their child's reading level or to anyone looking to foster a love of life long reading."
