One-on-One Lessons

"We have been working with Jenelle. I am impressed at how engaging she is online and how she uses the whiteboard to engage with my daughter. In just a few weeks my daughter is already showing great improvement."

"Helene always greets us with a joyful hello and genuine interest about my son's day or week. This immediately puts him at ease, and makes the transition from a long school day to tutoring easy! He is engaged throughout each session with a good mix of review and games. Helene makes sure to keep up do to date with his scores and curriculum at school to make sure he is practicing core skills for his age. From a parent perspective and from a fellow teacher, I love that she is a 'warm demander' who pushes my son while keeping his confidence up. I would recommend Helene 100%!"

"Claire is a lifesaver! Our daughter has improved so much working with Claire. She has amazing rapport with [our child] and makes reading fun. Claire's patience and empathy is off the charts. She gets her reading in a way that we (her parents) never could and helps her persevere and achieve her goals. "

"My son has been working with Jenelle. We’re so impressed with how much he’s learning! Jenelle is always on-time, highly engaged, and fantastic with communication. She gives us a debrief after every session, so we know exactly what they’re working on and what activities we can do to support his progress. "

"My child enjoys her sessions with Ms Rashaa and leaves confident she can do it and is making progress. I also find Ms Rashaa’s insights about DCPS to be helpful. "

"My child is always excited for his sessions - which feels like a miracle considering his lack of attention at school! And the best part is how proud he feels about his own progress."

"At the end of kindergarten, our son could not even identify all the letters of the alphabet.  A neuropsychological evaluation identified him as dyslexic.  We were concerned that reading challenges would hamper him his whole life.  In July we engaged Claire to tutor our son three times a week.  By December he was reading at grade level.  Even at our son’s most energetic times, Claire was always able to gently refocus him on his lesson – not an easy thing to do.  We are thrilled with Claire’s tutoring success with our son."

"Jenelle has been great from the start. She is full of strategies to engage our son and leaves him feeling successful. She is prompt, really utilizes every minute of her session productively, and also spends enough time utilizing topics of interest in order to engage my son."

"My child does not like math, and I didn't know if virtual tutoring would work for her, but she is really making progress with Helene. She was recently telling me how much she is learning, and how good Helene is at explaining things. If you knew my child, you'd know what a rare thing this is. Really grateful we found Reading Ready DMV!"

"My son loves working with Lynne and looks forward to his sessions."

"Claire is FANTASTIC. Claire understands our kid's brain better than any teacher she's ever worked with. She is patient and warm and has built trust and rapport with our kid over time. She helps us advocate for better literacy within the school and in general is the best thing that has happened to our daughter's reading."

"My child likes the content that she reads and has built a good relationship with Lynne."

"Our daughter's reading has improved significantly since we started tutoring. We plan to continue having her work with Jenelle. We also have appreciated the advice and insights on how to best support our daughter outside of tutoring."
