Jenny is extremely kind, hardworking and patient with my first grader. He has benefited tremendously from his weekly zoom lessons with her and I cannot recommend her enough!! I’d give her more than 5 stars if I could.

​If I could give 10 stars I would!!! Jenny is the absolute best. She is extremely knowledgeable on learning differences, evidence-based in her lesson planning, creative and multi-sensory in her approach and overall a tremendous advocate for her students.

We have been working with Jenny for almost 1 year now and have seen incredible progress in our child with dyslexia. She is so supportive and encouraging as well, especially for children who dislike reading and writing.

 

Our child’s confidence regarding spelling and reading have increased greatly as a result of her time with Jenny. Lastly, and most importantly, she is a wonderful support for parents and huge ally, especially if needing to approach schools for accommodations.

We are beyond grateful for her time and feel privileged to be able to work with such a skilled educator. Please consider Jenny as soon as possible to help your child with support in reading!

- J.S.
