We’ve seen extraordinary progress in our daughter’s reading and just as importantly, her confidence, because of her lessons with Joanna. We couldn’t be happier with the progress our daughter has made with Joanna’s tutoring.

Joanna keeps my son’s tutoring time fun and engaging through games and funny stories. He never complains when it is time for him to meet Joanna online for tutoring. Thank you!
—Thad, parent

She keeps our daughter engaged and on track with positive feedback. I have never heard Joanna lose her cool or patience. I highly recommend Joanna and feel incredibly lucky to have had her on our team.

Remote learning brought to my attention how deeply my daughter was struggling as an emergent reader.  Working with Joanna via Zoom, 1-2 sessions per week has been a critical component in the development of her reading skills during this period.   I’m very pleased with the progress my daughter has made since she started working with Joanna.
—Drew, parent

Joanna has a wonderful personality for working with kids; she’s both fun and rigorous.  It’s sort of magical how she’s able to keep them focused and interested in Zoom sessions.
—Michael, parent

Our son was struggling with learning to read. Joanna helped him with phonics, vowel and consonant pairings, and also gave him the tools to start reading. She used games and activities that helped him have fun while illustrating what she was trying to teach him. Joanna was really good at redirecting him when his focus was not there. Overall, he made great progress in the time that she worked with him. I would recommend Joanna as a tutor.

Joanna worked with both of my children, ages 6 and 9. I felt like my son needed extra support in reading comprehension and writing. My son’s writing and reading comprehension have really improved, and in particular, his writing has become more detailed and organized. He is now reading and understanding much more sophisticated materials. With my daughter, Joanna has really focused on her reading with great results – since working with Joanna her reading level has gone up dramatically! Joanna is calm, thoughtful, and creative. She is able to seamlessly engage with two children with very different learning styles. She is a pleasure to be around!
