what parents are saying about our reading instruction
Before we began with Erin, my son was at a level 1 reading level… basically a few years behind where he should have been. I noticed improvements immediately. Erin is extremely good at what she does and genuinely cares about her students. She is friendly, reliable, on time, and knows exactly what each child needs depending on where they are at. Within 2 short months, my son started to exceed everyone in his class, and is now reading full novels. He is only 8 years old and his vocabulary and literacy rivals my own…all thanks to Erin 🙂
Marisa B.
My son started sessions in April of 22, he was reading 13 words per minute, 7 months later he is reading 48 words per minute and his confidence has increased in so many ways with reading. Erin is such an amazing teacher who makes every session enjoyable. Hudson who struggled a lot with reading and who wouldn’t try to read in April, is now reading books with ease and enjoying it. He has come such a far way with reading and I want to take this time to thank Erin for all she has done. She is so caring and compassionate and makes learning fun. Thank you for everything! We look forward to the future sessions.

I highly recommend Erin for tutoring. My son has made leaps and bounds in a short time. I look forward to him being “caught up” in his reading and writing after losing key learning years during the pandemic
Robin B.
My child has greatly improved not only his skills in reading but also his attitude towards reading since starting with Erin. He truly enjoys his sessions with his tutor
