TESTIMONIALS

"Darius' teacher called yesterday to say that she feels you're doing a great job with him and he's understanding more! She says he isn't zoning out as much and can contribute to the math lesson now. He wasn't interested at all before now. I'm sure this makes things way easier for her. I sent the report card from you over to her by fax for her records. John and I are feeling heartened! This only means it'll be easier on Darius at school too.

Thank you so much.

"As Jacob’s last week has approached, I would like to express my gratitude for helping my son come to a place where he is comfortable and confident about learning. Over the past few months we have seen a great change in his attitude towards reading and spelling. Instead of being passive, he is eager and keen to attack new literary challenges. You can imagine how this is such a delight for us to see. Jacob’s outlook on approaching reading and writing is thankfully positive and without hesitation. The staff at Symbols [...] offer students a fresh, welcoming environment for learning. Their methods were flexible to suit my son’s challenges.

Thank you again.

"After each session the tutor spends a few minutes with me to discuss what has been covered during the session. I really appreciate it, as it helps me feel informed.

"I have wanted to write this letter for a long time but quite frankly there are no words to express our thanks to you for the impact you have on our son Isaac.  I am referring not only to his education but his self esteem and how he feels about his ability to learn.

In the hours spent with you he feels good about leaning and for a child behind in the typical public school benchmarks that is a tremendous accomplishment.  You have an exceptional ability to nurture and encourage kids to try their best while working with them in a focused well paced hour of instruction.  I know that Isaac does not like having to be tutored but he admits that it is the only time in the week that he feels like he is smart and tries his best for you because of the connection you have built with him.

It is your work with Isaac that has allowed him to learn to read and be on the right track to being able to write a comprehensive paragraph.  This has been demonstrated to us by his teachers noticing a decline in his language skills when we have taken time off from tutoring and the immediate improvement in his work when he has started back into your program.

"Dylan entered not only the school year confident and better prepared but he attended 2 new schools (thanks to wait lists) and received 7 out of 10 on his first spelling test ever! He is so proud and so happy and we really believe it is because of your work at Symbols. You have given him tools to work with everyday and we all wish to thank you.
