I am thrilled to have found Mary for my son, a struggling reader. Mary is patient, encouraging and has many different techniques to assist struggling readers.

Mary is very good with children especially with the ADHD kids. She is kind and and my son adores her. She is focused and ready to work with my son as soon as she gets here. She challenges my son.

Mary has a real passion for what she does. She seems to enjoy the children and has incredible patience. My son is enjoying his tutoring lessons and he can see a difference which is important.

My son and I are very happy with Mary and I personally cannot believe how inspired I was selecting her from the several options I had on WyzAnt. Aside from perfect pedagogical skills and a wonderful personality, she is highly trained in her field and customizes her tutoring to her student's needs, keeping pace with how these needs evolve. She is also very good at incorporating feedback from the parents and making the students feel good about their performance and progress without "overdoing" it. All in all a perfect match for my 9 year old son who was "stuck in" phonetic spelling and was not able to move on to correct spelling on his own. We are VERY happy we met her and we recommend her without any reservations!!
