Brittany's service was the first to pop up and I am so glad to have found her! She is professional, responds to calls quickly and understands the literacy and educational needs of children very well. I have been impressed with her company through our communications and am gladly passing along her company's contact information to my clients. The fact that all services are provided in-home as well is a wonderful business model which really helps children achieve success. I highly recommend the In Home Tutor.

When we took our boy for the private school kindergarten enrollment assessment he failed the…read morereading test at first try and we only got two weeks to get him ready for the second try. We found Brittany from craigslist when we need someone to tutor our son to get him prepared for that second test. Ms. Brittany did a fantastic job! She has all those right materials and she knows how to get the boy engaged by making teaching a fun experience. Her professional background and experience makes her a very experienced teacher. She is very punctual and she is very efficient too. She utilizes every minute in the session. My boy was able to learn very fast and improved a lot in two weeks. We took him for the second try and he passed! Without Brittany's help, it would be very struggling for him. Now Brittany will contintue to work with my son on a regualr basis just to make sure that he can keep improving his reading skill and get fully prepared before new school starts. We are EXTREMELY HAPPY with her! Highy recommend!

Before finding Nancy, I struggled for months trying to teach my daughter how to read--cycling…read morethrough letter toys, Bob books, and endless iPad apps with little success. Then we started working with Nancy, and it was like magic. Within just a few weeks, my daughter began reading with confidence. Now that my son is reaching the stage where he's ready to read, he too has started working with Nancy, and we're already seeing noticeable improvement after just two lessons. What makes Nancy so special is not just her expertise but the way she makes every class fun and engaging. My kids actually look forward to their lessons, and in between sessions, they often ask if they can read more on their own! She has a remarkable sense of when to gently correct and when to let a child's reading flow naturally. I believe it's her vast experience that allows her to keep kids motivated without ever getting frustrated. The results speak for themselves--my older daughter is now reading well beyond her grade level and absolutely loves books. My younger son went from saying "reading is boring" to loving it after just two lessons! I can't recommend Nancy enough for anyone who wants to help their children learn to read or who feels their kids are a bit stuck. She's truly been a game changer for our family!

John Fleming is the kind mastermind behind the center and its approach to helping children and parents alike. We call him a gem of a human, truly. His precise and detailed IEP has helped our school so much, is easy to follow and most importantly allows our son to thrive at school. We were blessed to be matched with our phenomenal therapist Anne-Laure Grigsby who we absolutely love and who became such an invaluable part of our family in regard to our son's educational journey. Anne-Laure is highly professional, knowledgeable and extremely supportive in every possible way, but more than that, she is very patient, kind, loving and intuitive in customizing his sessions to what is most needed at any given time. Anne-Laure has a gift of always putting our son in good spirits even though he suffers from depression while teaching him and helping him with challenging tasks. He has improved so much, gained confidence and genuinely enjoys his sessions on a weekly basis. We are so grateful to DLS for all the improvements and will continue with our sessions for as long as needed.

We have been with Champion for 6 years and both our kids love the school. Not only are they getting…read morea great education, they are exposed to Music, Art, Debate programs. The teachers genuinely care about the children and pay attention to the progress of each child makes and provide one-on-one time with the teachers. Academically, it has been amazing to us how much our kids have learned after joining Champion. When our 4 year old daughter started her online pre-school program during Covid, she had an amazing set of teachers like Miss Suvarna, Miss. Shivani. Since she hadn't been to any school before, her teachers gave her all support to learn her language and make her learn phonics, math, writing, art and everything. To a big surprise to us she started reading after only a few short weeks of time she enrolled and we highly appreciate the effort of Miss.Suvarna for this. She is very supportive and caring. She has got a great grip over all kids and the subjects she handles, and very flexible. We even cancelled our daughter's private art lessons once after she started her art classes with Miss.Suvarna. Now our daughter soon to be a 5 year old and has learned about continents, countries, math simple addition and subtraction, water cycle, fossil fuels and many more. Both our kids are happy and we are very glad of our choice. We cannot thank the school enough, for what the teachers have done to our kids and greatly appreciate Ms.Mune and Mr.Sandeep for their efforts towards the progress of our children.

Our experience with Morrissey Compton was through Peninsula School during the 2022-2023 school…read moreyear, when management of an unruly third grade class was outsourced to the educational support center. Nearly a third of the students in this class were identified as requiring further evaluation by Morrissey Compton (you do the math of $4,000+ per evaluation) or unable to be served by the school. For those requiring further evaluation, Morrissey Compton's very junior psychologist provided the most general behavioral considerations to justify the evaluations and she was unwittingly used by the school administrators to deny the students' reenrollment. Independent evaluations did not support the observations of Morrissey Compton's psychologist. What was the common finding that Morrissey Compton failed to observe? The class had been left to its own devices due an inexperienced teacher with 1) no establishment of baseline rules, 2) over-reliance on short-term rewards systems long proven to be ineffective, and 3) an attendance record that effectively left the children without anyone in charge. Which is, of course, why the majority of the class ended up leaving the school.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. After 5yrs of a custody battle the judge referred my "ex" and I…read moreto Jonee Donnelly, as a co-parenting counselor, and a 5 star wonderful one she is. When our 15yr old daughter was caught taking the family car & showed signs of abusing drugs unfortunately rather than face the consequences of her behavior, she accused dad of letting & encouraging her to do those self destructive things and mother seized that opportunity to initiate legal action in family court & the criminal court against Dad. In the midst of the fall out of that chaos, it was recommended that we contact the Bodin Group. I initiated the contact and made the 1st 3way call with mother, Doug Bodin & I. When we asked about his firms role, he explains that they help us choose a safe program that fit the child's needs, because there had been some press about wilderness camps and academies that were abusive to the kids. A few days later according to mother it was no longer necessary to consider sending the rebellious 15yr old away because she had a change of heart & told her therapist that she wanted to put her life back on a healthy path. Fast forward 3mo, Dad gets an email from mother, she & Bodin had unilaterally shipped not only the 15yr old, but also our 13yr old son out of state to "lock down" wilderness camp programs. I never received one phone from Bodin! But then mother was paying the $500/day+ fees for each child's 60 to 90 days wilderness "experience"... for both kids $30,000/month. Shipping your children off to "behavior modification" programs is clearly as much a rich man's game as is a 5yr custody battle to try to remove father from the lives of 5 children. I call Doug Bodin immediately, to ask how could this happen without any involvement from father??? Yes, at the time mother had 100% physical custody, but I was still legally their father! And what had happened to the "turn around" attitude in my daughter in the 3 intervening months? No answer. And where were they... out of state? No answer. Since then I've essentially been told "no retainer fee paid to Bodin, I can't talk to you". It's clear to me that the parent with the $$$'s is the client, not the other parent & not the teenager. How could it be in a teens' best interest to be admitted in such extreme programs and neither Bodin or the institutions selected INSISTing that father be involved w the staff of those institutions, if nothing else than to get a holistic therapeutic assessment? I find out that my daughter is at an "Academy" in Utah, and my son is in South Carolina. I spend a few hours writing an email to "Uinda Academy" where my daughter is and attaching documents which clearly PROVE she was admitted with a one sided perspective from mother that conveniently fits her campaign to remove father from the children's lives. Their reply? "...I have cc'd your requests to [your 'ex"], and she will get a hold of you via the legal system in order to let us know how we can correspond with you...". I replied "...As a parent with joint legal custody of ___, please clarify why your institution's communication with me as her father would be restricted or in any way be less than that afforded to her mother? Given the nature of the facts I have presented you with, and the incorrect assumptions which ___ admission and treatment have been based upon, please clarify why your institution's position would be to do anything other than consider BOTH parents perspective on an equal basis moving forward... I have a time urgent interest and a legal right to be well informed about __ status & well being. I believe access to records, being kept informed of progress & a dialogue with the staff... is the legal right of both mother & I..." Their reply?? "...I am sorry we cannot get into a dialogue yet. I need specific writing from a judge saying we can do that..." Wow!!! My daughter is in not only a "lock down" institution, but a "lock out" one! I started researching these "Academies" and was shocked at what I discovered. The one my son is at thanks to Bodin & my "ex" has a Director that lost their license for "inappropriate sexual conduct with a patient"! This industry is big $$$'s and has a very dark underside, their are support groups for people recovering from having been sent to these progams, there are many children that have died or gone missing, & clearly there is a pattern of manipulative parents in divorces using the system to extract the other parent from a child's life. See for yourself. Do some research before rather than working things out as a family using local resources, defaulting "raising your child" to people you & Bodin really don't know. http://www.facebook.com/notes/stu-carson/signs-of-abusive-teen-treatment-centers-wilderness-program-academies/10151178786951451 http://www.facebook.com/notes/stu-carson/squirm-in-seat-take-a-pill-rebellious-teen-ship-of-to-a-behavioral-modification-/10151182551501451

My wife and I had known Ms. Nadeema for about a year and half now. She was teaching at at…read moremontessori where I had enrolled my daughter. Though Ms. Nadeema never taught my daughter at the montessori, we had interacted earlier. With the onset of the pandemic and stay-at-home orders in March, my wife and I decided not to let out four year old daughter to the montessori. We tried to teach her ourselves and found that its easier said then done. My daughter is on the active end of the spectrum, has a very small attention span and would not sit or listen to things at a stretch. She knew how to read upper and lower case alphabets and numbers and was barely writing them. My wife and I were desperately looking for some online school and thats when we came to know about Ms. Nadeema's online classes. Initially, we were a bit reluctant to go for online classes knowing our daughter's active behavior but we thought of giving it a shot. My wife discussed with Ms. Nadeema and we started with a 40 minutes one-on-one class in August. During this period we saw improvement in our daughter. Soon after, we decided to enroll her in Ms. Nadeema's online group class for 2 hours every day, 4 days a week with similar aged children and my daughter has been attending the classes since September. We have seen a lot of improvements in her in terms of writing alphabets and numbers, cutting and coloring skills and general knowledge. All thanks to Ms. Nadeema who keeps up patiently with the group of toddlers everyday during this 2 hours session. Ms. Nadeema also provides(she drops them at our home) all the materials once at the beginning of the month and promptly sends the worksheets for each day in the morning. During the classes she encourages participation from all attending kids, gives then regular snack breaks and keeps them engaged. Every morning, my daughter looks upto her classes. My wife and I have been super happy with the classes and with the improvement it has brought to our daughter. Thank you again Ms. Nadeema for being a fabulous teacher.
