What is more important than learning to read? A special learning studio in my home sets my program apart from clustered groups in shopping center programs, or student distractions at the student's house. The use of research based program, time tested materials, positive reinforcers, and manipulatives support my students with their goals. I teach transitional kindergarten this year, but I have taught all lower grades for multiple years. I have a master's degree in education and a certificate ...

Thank you so much Debbie. I was extremely stressed out at our 1st meeting regarding my child's grades. Today, I'm relaxed hopeful, and excited for the future. In just four lessons, my 6th grader has gained confidence reading aloud. He's reading aloud to me as I'm writing this note. Never before!!! Unbelievable!!!!! Today, he scored 100% in his Social Studies test. His teacher sent a note home on Tuesday about his poor performance in Social Studies. Today is Thursday. My son is excited about the new study skills he's learning such as organizing, looking ahead, and all the fun ways to remember the material in the various subjects. Debbie is prompt, professional, patient, and caring. She is obviously knowledgeable in academics and teaching children how to read and study. She listens to my concerns and is extremely caring. I'm so glad we found her. Thank you Debbie.

Mrs. Debbie M is an absolutely brilliant tutor. Having grown up with a true love for reading, I was met with a sense of failure when I couldn't pass this love for reading on to my son. (He loved to be read to, but he was lacking both the confidence and the interest to learn how to read on his own.) I cannot begin to fully, appropriately express just how grateful I am to have found Debbie, and how fantastic her approach has been in aiding my son on his journey to literacy. Our family's schedule only permits us a tutoring session with Debbie once a week (as opposed to the recommended bi-weekly sessions), and yet my son's ability to read has begun to blossom rather quickly as soon as he began to see her. She immediately became attuned to his charming (yet disinterested-in-reading ) personality and specific needs as a student, and has approached him with laser-sharp focus, spot-on in finding the right methods to keep him not only interested and engaged but actually learning and progressing speedily. (His teachers noticed a great improvement within the first two weeks.) The fun yet highly effective plans she designs and "master-minds" to engage my son are ingenious; she finds great opportunities to effortlessly tie in educational experiences with games, thus making the whole learning experience challenging but fun. She runs her sessions very methodically, very organized, with a specific goal for my son to have met by the end of each session. I very much appreciate the notes she hands out at the end of each session to keep me fully aware of his latest progress and goals for the next week, as well as the detailed emails I receive from her as a follow-up. I find my son’s progress under Mrs. Debbie M’s tutelage to be not only a testament to her scholarly expertise as a professional teacher, but also a reflection of her innate passion – which encompasses a strong combination of her love for children with her love for teaching. All in all, Mrs. Debbie M attains the perfect combination of all the necessary qualities that make for the best tutor a parent could ask for.

Since my son has started the classes with her, I have noticed a significant improvement in his reading, writing and math. Debbie is a great and very patient tutor for any child who needs help.

We have been working with Ms. Debbie for about 3 weeks now. Her techniques never cease to amaze me. Yesterday we worked on writing skills. My son needed to write sentences for his spelling words. He was still practicing spelling the words when we went to tutoring last night. Ms. Debbie provided a tip on how to spell "tion" suffixes. By the time we got home which was within 5 minutes, my son totally got the words he was struggling with correct. Went to volunteer at his school today, and he got a 100% on his test. What I liked about this particular session, was that Ms. Debbie challenged my son to think about what he wanted to write, instead of just writing a basic sentence. I am looking forward to my son becoming a more proficient writer.

Our son who is in the first grade and was showing signs of falling behind, is already showing improvements in his reading and math after only couple of weeks from the one on one time with Mrs M. She is caring and was able to get our son to engage right away that learning is fun. We are so happy to be able to continue weekly lessons and look forward to his continued progress this year.

Ms. Debbie is an excellent tutor who could help my son achieve a lot in short time. Yet, the best thing is that she can really make learning fun. My son always looks forward to his next lesson with her.

My daughter (5yrs old) just started the reading tutor with Debbie a month ago. We are very amazed with her improvement. She likes Debbie ever since the tutoring session, up until now she always excited and looking forward for the next session. Debbie knows how to interact and stimulate little kids like her to excel in reading. Overall, Debbie will be a great tutor for any kids to learn how to read.

I'm truly thankful for finding Mrs. Debbie. The program she has to teach the kids is so good. My son enjoys going with her. He learns and it feels so good to know he is reading now, and he feels way more confident of himself in reading. This was the best decision ever made.
Keerthi S. from Fontana, CA
Debbie has been an excellent tutor. Ever since she began tutoring my daughter her vocabulary and reading skills have improved dramatically. My daughter loves her company and looks forward to her classes everyday. Debbie has helped my daughter develop both socially and academically. I will recommend her to any parent who is looking for a private tutor.

My 7 year old son has been working with Debbie M. for about a month. He is a struggling reader in the second grade. I have seen more growth in his reading over the last month than in the entire last year! His anxiety over reading was worsening. He loves tutoring with Debbie and has asked me if he can stay with her longer. His exact words were that she makes learning seem like fun. His attitude towards reading has changed. He will now read with me at home without becoming upset. I know we have a lot of work ahead of us, but I finally feel like we are headed in the right direction. Debbie really has a way with working with children. If your child is having problems with reading, then I highly recommend Debbie.
Pamela J. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Debbie has been tutoring my 7 year old son twice a week for a month now. His confidence has improved significantly, his ability to sound out words and break them down continues to evolve. He looks forward to spending time with Debbie and he feels like she is making a difference. The tools Debbie use to keep him engaged and progressing are great and valuable. Thanks Debbie for all your hard work and we look forward to continuing to work with you.
