“Barbara is a wonderful teacher.  She is kind, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable about how to teach young kids.  My boys learned how to read very early thanks to her, and their grasp of complicated math concepts is way beyond their years, again thanks to [Barbara]. We are so fortunate to have her in our lives!”

“Barbara is a remarkable reading specialist who has had a transformative impact on my 10-year-old son. When Barbara first began working with him one year ago, he was struggling with decoding, comprehension, and writing. He felt discouraged and frustrated in school, and I was worried about his academic success and promotion to 4th grade. However, Barbara tailored a reading program that specifically addressed his current needs while keeping him engaged and closing the gaps. The results have been nothing short of amazing. My son has made significant progress and his star reading test scores increased from the 20th percentile to the 75th percentile. Most importantly, he has developed a genuine love for reading, which I know will benefit him throughout his life. I am confident that Barbara can make a similar positive impact on other children struggling with reading difficulties. She is not only a highly skilled educator, but also a compassionate and dedicated individual who truly cares about each child's success. If you are looking for a reading specialist who can make a real difference, I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara.”

“Barbara has been a godsend. My daughter Valerie was struggling with sight words in kindergarten and completely fell behind during the first few weeks of 1st grade. I contacted Barbara after glowing recommendations from a Mom group and it was the best decision. Barbara evaluated my daughter and worked with her. In a few weeks, my daughter was reading paragraphs and she no longer struggled. I am so grateful to Barbara.”

“Since starting with Barbara in September 2023, my daughter Lucia, who was in kindergarten at the time, has shown remarkable progress in reading. Barbara's engaging and fun approach to classes has made learning enjoyable for Lucia. Her reading skills and comprehension have significantly improved, placing her above her grade level. Barbara has been a valuable asset to my daughter's education, fostering a love for reading.”
