Success Stories

Student Parent
Prior to beginning the Take Flight therapy with Leslie, my son experienced much frustration, and I wasn't sure he would ever learn to read or have a positive attitude toward learning. Not long after beginning with Leslie, I was relieved as he began to look forward to going! Leslie has a unique ability to connect with students, understand where they are, and is able to foster motivation. She provides the structure and consistency that is needed to overcome multiple learning disabilities and to develop fluency in reading. The homework she gives is always manageable and organized in a notebook. Leslie was flexible and willing to adjust the schedule to meet our needs. She goes above and beyond, teaching students strategies and giving them the tools needed to read, spell, and write! The money and time invested with Leslie helped our son overcome multiple learning disabilities and become confident in classroom settings so that he now experiences academic success! Leslie opened the door for my child to develop comprehensive language acquisition and I’m thankful for the positive difference she’s made.

I had so much fun with Ms. Crisco! She is an awesome tutor and has helped me with reading, writing, and spelling. We read several books together, which was fun and helped my reading ability (She is really great to read with!) She also taught me how to write in cursive, and I practiced every time I wrote out sentences with her. The program breaks down spelling, so that I could slowly build the skills I needed with confidence. We moved quickly through different parts of the program, and she kept the time moving along. She had ways of making me feel comfortable and engaged with the material. We always had a great time together. She showed an interest in me beyond the Take Flight program, and was a big support to me in many different ways.
