Feedback from families:
“Simma has been working with my son for about 8 months and we have seen much improvement in his organizational skills, writing and comprehension. The last school rep
orting in October was his best one yet. We are confident that if he works really hard with Simma for another 6 months the transition to hig school will be seamless and he’ll gain the confidence he needs to succeed in high school. Thank you Simma, you are a blessing to our son.”

“I am very impressed with the rapport that you were able to build with our daughter instantly—our daughter looks forward to their meetings, and working on her basic reading and writing skills. In many respects, likely the most important—that she has the interest in putting in the work now, a growing sense of confidence, and they have been building a strong relationship to continue to work together.”

My daughter responded right away to Simma’s joyful, empowering manner. My daughter’s view of learning and her ability to learn changed almost overnight with their session. It was as though Simma found and flipped a switch and my daughter believed in herself. She is now learning the basics in a way that worlds for her. Thank you Simma! You are changing our world!”

“My 9 year old daughter was struggling greatly last year with reading, and writing regardless of in-school pull out support, and nightly reading at home. At the end of June, I discovered Simma, and after two and a half months of getting tutoring support. I have noticed improved confidence in her reading, and much better printing. I’m excited to see her making real progress in these areas. My daughter looks forward to her sessions, and tells me that they are fun. I find Simma understands children’s needs, and is very kind, and encouraging. I highly recommend her as an educator.”

“Before my daughter worked with you, she was struggling. There was anxiety and dyslexia and more. Homework and school were both a great challenge in our home, but now she is feeling more confident than I have seen in a long time. You really connected with her, and made her understand how she learns, believe in herself, and most of all, that with some work, she too could read!”

“Simma connected with my daughter, Liza, at their very first session in September. She built on that relationship over the school year and gave me updates about Liza’s work each week, so I always had a sense of the progress being made. Liza’s work with Simma boosted her confidence and her performance at school. When she started tutoring, Liza was a year behind her grade level but at the end of fourth grade she was much closer to meeting benchmarks thanks to her Orton Gillingham work with Simma. I’m looking forward to seeing what Liza can achieve with another year of OG tutoring!”
