“Heidi has been working with our son, who has both dyslexia and ADHD, for almost two years.  Her obvious passion and love for teaching are what initially struck us the most when we first started working with her.  It is truly rare to find someone so dedicated to their work.  Quickly we realized that these traits helped our son achieve tangible results – the ultimate goal.  Our son went from having a strong dislike for school to becoming a maturing, inquisitive learner.  His standardized test scores increased, his reading levels increased and we could literally see changes occurring right before our eyes.  Of course in large part this was due to his hard work as well, but we would not be where we are today without Heidi’s help.  We were truly at a loss as to how to help our son and we are grateful to have found her.

I would not hesitate to recommend Heidi’s services to anyone who has a child struggling with any aspect of reading or writing.  She clearly communicates her step by step goals with our son and things we can do with him at home so he will continue to progress.  She uses the most up to date literature and research to specifically tailor her lessons to our son.  There is no such thing as a generic ‘one size fits all’ plan for her students.  

The amount of anxiety and stress over how to help our son has drastically decreased and our son’s self-confidence has improved.  Nothing will eliminate the need for a child with learning difficulties to work especially hard, but we now feel confident our son will have the tools to do anything he sets his mind to in the future.”  Kate G.

“Heidi has improved our son’s ability to read, and she has given us tools so that we can help him where he needs it most.  She makes reading fun, and you can see that Heidi really enjoys what she is doing.  Besides the snacks and prizes, Colton likes to talk to Heidi about life, his and hers.  There is a real connection between the two.  She is well organized in all aspects, including lesson planning and documentation of results.  She has exceeded our expectations in every way.”  Clint M.

“Heidi excels at tailoring her reading program to the way individual student learn.  Heidi is really in tune with how my daughter learns and has developed methods of teaching my daughter in ways that she can truly understand.  Heidi works with my daughter’s creativity and ideas and incorporates them into useful tools, like acronyms for remembering concepts.  My daughter loves Heidi’s personality and I love that my daughter looks forward to meeting with Heidi.”  Monica W.

“Heidi, it’s exactly that, your style of teaching is exceptional.  The pride you take in each organized lesson plan, your flexibility, the positive reinforcement you give to our son, the games and rewards that help make each lesson fun and beneficial at the same time.  You are such a blessing to us and we can’t say enough on how happy we are with you as Colton’s Wilson Reading tutor.  Colton’s reading has improved greatly and not only his reading but his spelling and self-esteem as well.  Thank you so very much.”  Sandy & Chuck M.
