WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“During the pandemic when my youngest child was remote learning, we were very concerned about her progress. Fortunately, Kate was able to Zoom with her weekly. Not only has our (now) third grader’s reading greatly improved, but she also loves to read! Kate is an excellent, effective reading teacher.”
– Sue (March 2022)
“Kate has been an absolutely fabulous support for our 5-year-old daughter, and has been working with her in-person and virtually for almost a year. She was struggling with basic uppercase letter recognition and in a matter of months has not only mastered both upper and lowercase letters, but is now reading basic sight words and writing sentences. Her confidence has soared while working with Kate, and she continues to make progress. Kate is patient, kind, and reliable. she is an extremely effective reading specialist and our daughter looks forward to their time together every week!”
