Andrea worked with our 1st grader on her reading skills. She was patient and gifted and made our daughter feel proud of the work they were able to do in the allotted time. We look forward to using her on a regular basis.

My son seemed to enjoy his lesson, and did not realize that a whole hour had passed. We look forward to working with Andrea again and making progress on his reading.

Andrea is patient and a nice person. Worked very well with my son who is struggling with reading. Plan on using her for the school year. We made a good choice.
