I highly recommend Commonwealth Learning Center. My son receives Orton-Gillingham tutoring services and has made tremendous growth this year. He has had the privilege of working with Amy Husk to support his special education reading goals, and went from telling me that he hated reading to now loving it! In a very short time Miss Amy was able to develop a wonderful rapport with my son. I was delighted to see his enthusiasm during these reading lessons given his initial hesitancy, and I attribute much of his enthusiasm to the ease with which she was able to create a warm and fun classroom atmosphere during both remote and in-person sessions. I have been impressed with Miss Amy's ability to get to know my son in order to tailor instruction to his learning style, while also communicating openly with me to further support his learning at home. I appreciate the regular verbal and written feedback about his progress so I can also share it with our school. It is obvious to me that he has made substantial gains in his reading ability, but more importantly it is also obvious to my son, which has improved his confidence. He looks forward to going to his reading lesson and we are both excited to see him continue to grow! read more

We have had a great experience with Commonwealth Learning Center in Needham. They were extremely accommodating with schedules and offered convenient times for tutoring sessions. The director, Alex, was fantastic--warm, supportive, experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and an absolute pleasure. The administrators, staff and tutors were also very pleasant, professional, well informed, experienced and helpful! Their instruction was crucial in assisting my child progress through his current schooling. The tutors were able to relate well and work effectively with my child. In addition, CLC offers free workshops in the evenings for adults throughout each month that I have found to be well-organized, informative and helpful. We were very happy with our experience with them and would recommend them highly! read more

Both of my children received tutoring at Commonwealth and both had such positive experiences! Our younger child was very shy and apprehensive at first and his tutor did an amazing job at creating a supportive and comfortable environment for him to take risks and learn at his own pace. Our older daughter not only admired, respected and appreciated the help her tutor provided, but the two developed such a special bond that our daughter truly looked forward to her tutoring sessions! Our experience is that the tutors at Commonwealth are deeply devoted to their students and go above and beyond to support them and their families! I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Commonwealth Learning! read more

CLC tutors helped both of my sons with SSAT, SAT and ACT prep, and helped them to achieve great improvements with just a few sessions. The available times are very flexible, which is helpful for our family's schedule. My older son found the best writing tutor he has ever had at CLC (and maybe the best educator ever), and worked with her for over two years, going way beyond just writing to life lessons. CLC also offers helpful free training sessions on various subjects for parents, and we found a great ADHD coach through one of them. CLC is a wonderful resource for all kinds of personalized assistance for students! read more

As a teacher, I can say that Commonwealth Learning Center offers a wealth of highly effective, current, evidence-based professional development opportunities. Working with both Mary Briggs and Lisa Brooks to become an Associate Orton-Gillingham practitioner, I built a strong foundation of knowledge and experience that has supported my work as a special education teacher and literacy tutor. My students have made sustainable gains in all areas of literacy, thanks to the dedication they demonstrate to their craft, their pupils and the teachers under their tutelage. read more
