Janis not only helped my son with his reading and spelling, but when his teacher gave him a poor grade because of his organizational skills, Janis jumped right in and has him learning how to use his planner, how to take organized notes and how to make his papers "look like an art project." Janis truly cares about my 12 year old son and his success!
