"Our daughter's Lexile reading percentile boosted from a 53% to 86% in just 7 months thanks to her reading tutor! More importantly he doesn't fight so hard in reading and even started reading for pleasure. Your tutor immediately connected with our daughter and had tremendous insight into her strengths and weaknesses. We are eternally grateful for all she's done. Thanks you for sending her to us."
