Then, as an amazing source to help us advocate for both of our daughter’s specific needs. Samantha has a wealth of knowledge in teaching children with special needs as well as advocating for those children. We are very fortunate to have had her help navigating the special education world. She has taught us things we would have never known otherwise”

Samantha is an expert in teaching students to read using direct, explicit, evidence-based instruction. She is extremely knowledgeable about dyslexia and other language-based disabilities. Our son with dyslexia was reading well below grade level by the middle of 1st grade. In January of that year, we hired Samantha and he immediately began to show progress. Within months he made a year’s worth of progress! He continues to make progress every week after working with her. Samantha provides data to document growth and to target areas of weakness. Samantha is professional, reliable, hard-working, and kind. She challenges our son and supports him at the same time. He loves working with her! We are so grateful for her expertise. Saying we highly recommend Samantha is an understatement- she is truly a gift to our son and our family.

“From the moment I met Samantha to discuss my daughter’s special education journey, she immediately made me feel at ease and I knew that she would help me navigate through the many difficult and confusing areas as my daughter’s advocate. She is very knowledgeable and understanding of a parents journey through special education. She is always helpful when it comes to clearing up any confusion or questions that you may have. I was full of stress and confusion before I met Samantha, but now I am so glad to have her in my corner.”

“Samantha understands that all children don't learn the same way. Her dedication, patience and knowledge have been a saving grace for our son. Our son has made more progress in working with Samantha over the past 6 months than he had in OVER three years prior. She is encouraging and empathetic to children's needs and meets them where they are. She creates a foundation of trust and honesty— which is exactly what kids need to flourish. She is patient, kind, and a truly fantastic tutor.”

“Samantha helped me learn quite a bit about the advocacy process. She also tutored my son in Wilson. She is very kind and cares so much about the success of her students as well as making an impact on the school system to help all struggling students. She is compassionate and it is obvious that she cares. As each child is different with different needs, it is important to have a tutor that understands the child and works well with the parent to find what the child needs— Samantha is that person! She is very knowledgable and always researches to gain more knowledge. She has earned my trust and I truly appreciate her kindness.”
