What Families Are Saying
“Madden loves tutoring with Cassi. She is such a positive, patient and nurturing person. The progress he has made is unbelievable. He left first grade barely reading Bob books and now reads independently and aloud in front of his class. Most importantly, his confidence has soared.”
— Lindsay Welch, Parent
“In a matter of a few tutoring sessions with Cassi, a new learner in my daughter emerged! Cassi’s friendly and down-to-earth approach has aided in her love of learning. Working with Cassi has become the highlight of her week!”
— Mother of a 7-year-old
“Cassi is always well-prepared, organized and innovative in terms of teaching strategies. As a result of tutoring, my son has gained confidence in his reading and comprehension abilities, and this has been evident in his schoolwork.”
— Mother of a 10-year-old
“At the beginning of fourth grade, Ryder was reading at a second grade level. He is now in fifth grade and reading at a 7.7 grade level. Thanks to Cassi and her team of tutors, Ryder’s school life has changed. He is much more confident and enjoys school. You are changing lives!”
