We started reading tutoring for our son a little over 1 month ago. He's in 1st grade and was…read morefalling a bit behind in reading. It seemed like a big part of this was confidence as well. Our son was a bit nervous for the first meeting as he didn't really know what to expect, but as soon as LeeAnn came in, she put our son at ease. She is so friendly and works great with kids. During the first meeting, she did an assessment to see where he is at. She then met with Taylor who runs Sprout Reading and they developed a plan for him. I really appreciated that they did this, because they could've just helped him read some books that we have at our house or helped him with some of his homework. I really appreciated how thorough everything was. After just a couple of meetings, she was able to explain to me exactly where it seemed that he was struggling. And, then she got to work on helping him through those areas. In just one month, we have already seen an improvement in his reading abilities. His confidence has increased, and his teacher at school has noticed as well. He is a lot more excited about reading and is more eager to try reading things on his own. We are very excited to see where this takes him in the next few months. Our son also has pretty severe ADHD, and LeeAnn has been wonderful in supporting him with that. She knows how to navigate this in a way that works well for him. I would highly recommend Sprout Reading Intervention!

We are currently working with LeeAnn, and she has been amazing with my kids! They are learning so much and genuinely look forward to their tutoring sessions with her. LeeAnn goes above and beyond to keep them engaged, making each lesson both effective and enjoyable. She's also very professional and knowledgeable, and love that she has many years of teaching experience. One detail I especially appreciate is the individual folders she has created for each of my children. It contains all of their completed work, making it easy for them to review and track their progress. It's clear that she is thoughtful and intentional--she provides lasting value. With upcoming teacher conferences, I am excited to hear more about their growth in their reading skills. As a parent, I have already seen significant improvement! I highly recommend Sprout Reading Intervention!

I'm a full-time college student and also work full time as a healthcare professional, so balancing…read moreeverything hasn't been easy. Before working with my English tutor, I was getting mostly Ds on my essays and struggling to organize my thoughts clearly. Since I started tutoring, my grades have gone up to A's! She's incredibly patient, explains things in a way that makes sense, and helps me build confidence in my writing. She doesn't just correct my grammar--she teaches me how to structure essays, strengthen my arguments, and write with more clarity and purpose. She even guided me on how to professionally ask my professor for a chance to revise a paper, which helped me raise a bad grade. So, I don't have a D in the class anymore because she helped me fix them and now I have an A. If you're juggling work and school like me, she's the kind of tutor who truly understands and supports your goals. I can't thank her enough for helping me become a stronger writer and student.

She has helped her make incredible progress with letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other foundational skills, while always making learning feel engaging and age-appropriate. Emily is warm, patient, dependable, and consistently punctual. What we especially appreciate is her ability to strike the perfect balance between being sweet and nurturing while also providing just enough structure and discipline to keep a young child focused and learning. She understands how to challenge our daughter without overwhelming her, which is such an important skill when working with toddlers. We've been incredibly happy with the progress we've seen and feel very fortunate to have Emily as part of our daughter's early learning experience. We highly recommend her!

We saw noticeable growth not only in her understanding of the material, but also in her confidence. I would highly recommend Tutor Nerds to other parents looking to provide their students with additional academic support at a reasonable cost. It was a very positive experience for our family.

A True Godsend! A 10/10 Educator & Miracle Worker…read more We were in a tough spot in February when our pre-K son didn't pass the entrance exam for a school we deeply wanted him to attend in the fall. The exam required mid-kindergarten level skills--essentially 1.5 years ahead of where he was. I was heartbroken and discouraged, especially after realizing his current school wasn't providing what he needed. But then we found Mrs. Shelby... and everything changed. We connected with Mrs. Shelby on February 13 and began sessions just five days later. In only 6 weeks, she worked absolute magic. Not only did she teach our son the entire accelerated curriculum he needed, but she made the learning process so fun and engaging that he didn't even realize he was working at an advanced pace. When he retook the exam on April 2, he passed with flying colors and confidence. I can say with certainty--his success is 100% because of Mrs. Shelby. Her sessions are joyful, personalized, and thoughtfully designed. She consistently assesses progress and even created a custom scope and sequence that showed exactly where our son was starting from and how she'd bridge the gap to where he needed to be. That level of care, structure, and strategy is rare--and I was blown away. Our son loves seeing her, and so do we! She's not only an incredible teacher--she's a beautiful soul who clearly adores working with children and brings out the best in them. In fact, we love working with her so much that we've asked her to start supporting our older daughter to stay ahead in school too. Mrs. Shelby is a 10/10--trustworthy, kind, incredibly effective, and just plain wonderful. If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with her, take it. She is the kind of educator every family dreams of finding!

I decided to use the summer to catch up in hopes of better preparing her for the new school year. Our Reach tutor has done more than bring my daughter up to speed, she has helped her progress to the point of being ahead of the class.

As far as value is concerned, sessions are one-on-one and our tutor is focused, prepared, and well-informed. There is NO wasted time, no "busy work," and no fluff.

When I contacted Nikki, within about 5 minutes into our conversations I felt very comfortable that I'd found the solution I was looking for for my daughter. Nikki seemed to genuinely care about my daughter's struggles. She was not pushy. And she was compassionate and understanding of the challenge I was feeling between wanting my child to succeed but facing the financial burden of being a single parent. REACH is flexible and provides options for families with the students genuine interest at heart. They are willing to work with busy families to find the right tutor that will fit both in terms of personality and scheduling. My daughter is working with Mindy S and she is AMAZING. In a very short time she got to know my daughter and what made her tick. She cares a lot about my daughter's success and treats her like she would her own child. My daughter was getting a very poor grade in HS Geometry before she started working with Mindy and when she took her first test after she started her tutoring she got 100%!!! I highly recommend REACH Professionals!!
