10/9/2014 Susan is the perfect fit for our tutoring needs. She has a wealth of experience as a teacher and also a wealth of experience as a reading specialist. My daughter needs help with both Math and Phonics/Reading, so finding Susan fills both of those needs. I would definitely recommend Susan. In two lessons, she has taught my daughter "little tricks" for subtraction and addition that are helping her with her timed Math tests. She has been great! 12/6/2014 Susan worked with my daughter for one hour the afternoon before a big math test. She created some flip cards with common math terms for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. That hour really helped. My daughter scored a 100 on her math test! Thank you Susan! You are a great resource.

She is wonderful, patient, caring, knows the English language inside and out, sensitive, goes the extra mile, gives of herself freely, has the student in mind and at the front always, thinks inside and outside the box and applies it to the students situation and level. Your child will improve just seeing her. She has a complete understanding of the progression of learning the English language and the application of it; how to get your child from where they are to a better place. I learned almost as much as my daughter. I am a tough sell and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help without reservation or hesitation. She is the best, whatever situation, learning disability, struggle, or problem.

Susan is passionate about her work and it comes through in her interaction with our son. He enjoys the time he has with Susan and her methods have proven effective.

We asked Susan S. to help our son build confidence with logic and reasoning problems in both math and reading comprehension. She met with our son a couple of times and knew the right approach to take with him immediately. She provides materials that are relevant and challenging and helps our son in his approach to each problem. Even after just a handful of sessions together, our son is more confident in tackling his schoolwork with his new skills as tools that he can use everyday.
