She was also very quick to rearrange her schedule when we had a conflict starting in April. We have seen significant growth in his reading skills in the past 4 months and his teacher indicated that he has moved up 5 levels (using the alphabet reading scale) in these last 4 months. Thank you Above Grade Level !

Owning Above Grade Level Tutoring was just the next step to helping children succeed. Gretchen was a teacher for over 10 years and Bruce has mentored, tutored, and coached children ever since he graduated college. We are working with some local non-profits in Pontiac, Warren, and Detroit to make our assessment system and our proprietary curriculum available to these groups so that trained volunteers can provide the life-changing Above Grade Level educational system free of charge to families in those challenged cities. Stay tuned for more announcements relating to this great opportunity.

Unbelievably positive experience from start to finish! Casey was quick to respond and answered all…read moreof my questions. My son's grades improved dramatically,but most surprisingly his attitude towards taking a more serious role in his studies was priceless. Instead of crying when assignments were given, he actually asked her "can you stay longer?" She even emailed additional assignments for him in between sessions which he loved! Can't thank her enough!

From the owner: Hello my name is Casey and I'm definitely still a kid at heart which in many ways helps me relate…read moreand find a connection with each of my different students. I believe there is no one way to teach children because everyone learns differently and it's just a matter of finding the connection and once that happens the growth is amazing and a beautiful sight to witness. I take pride in getting my students excited about learning. My lesson plans vary by each child and our constantly being changed and adapted to different situations. Each child has struggles and some aren't just in school but may be a mental block or just anxiety or simply boredom. I strive to find out what the biggest issues are and we tackle them as a team. I believe in working hard and playing hard. My students deserve to realize that if they work hard and learn the fundamentals that may be boring to them at the moment they will soon have the ability to choose what they want to study and it won't be boring. I make each session different and interactive. The assignments and homework I give vary from child to childAnd could be something along the lines of posting spelling words around the house and each time you pass them you need to spell them. It could be achievement charts, Prize and goal driven charts, or virtual field trips. Some of my students are simply bored so finding unique lesson plans and incorporating their interests makes it fun and beneficial. No two people learn the same way.

I saw Exie for a prenatal massage and was so satisfied that I will definitely be coming back for…read morefuture massages for back and shoulder pain. The long drive is totally worth it. Exie is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about her work. I was shocked (in a good way!) that the consultation before the massage was quite thorough and did not cut into our hour of massage time. I hadn't experienced this anywhere else; the amount of time you pay for at Tranquil Touch is the amount of time that you are actually on the table being massaged. Exie was very receptive to what type of massage I wanted, any injuries I had, and what areas were causing problems, and tailored the session to meet those needs. She made me feel very comfortable, both physically and emotionally. I can't recommend her more highly!

EXCELLENT prenatal massage! Exie is professional, comforting, and the massage felt very…read morepersonalized and thorough. She has a prenatal table with a cutout/basket to support the belly, so I was able to lay on my stomach for the first portion (at 38 weeks pregnant this is the best thing ever!) I went in with a lot of tension, soreness, and stiffness in my hips and low back (pretty typical pregnancy aches and pains) and left feeling very close to normal and tension-free. I've also had more energy all day since receiving the massage. The office is decorated really nicely - clean, modern, and calming. She played relaxing music during the massage and the temperature was very comfortable in the room. Her location is easy-to-find and there was a reserved parking space for massage clients just outside the door. I plan to return for a post-natal massage and highly recommend Exie's massage services to all pregnant women looking for some relief and relaxation. I'm already working with another birth doula, but if I were still looking, I would certainly consider hiring Exie as my doula.
