What Our Students' Families Are Saying...

"I was desperate for help when I took my son to Mrs. Smith for reading tutoring. We'd tried every program available. I was at the end of my rope. I knew that if we didn't find something that worked for him, his future would be grim.
I'm so glad we found Mrs. Smith because completing her program was a turning point in my son's education. He is now graduating from college and we couldn't be more grateful for the impact this program has had on his education." -Jean Davis, Kansas City

My daughter has been struggling with reading especially sounding out longer words. This class has been an excellent resource in teaching her some "tricks" for figuring out these harder words and has made her get more excited about reading! She has improved so much in such a short amount of time!

As a parent homeschooling a child with learning differences, I couldn’t recommend a better class. My child’s vocabulary has improved significantly.

Paula is very good at what she does and really breaks down in detail and assesses really well. I’m so glad we have her as my son's tutor!

I can’t recommend RSA enough! Our son’s reading scores were incredibly low, even after seeing the reading specialist for the entire school year. We were looking for summer tutoring for him when we found Reading Success Academy and during the initial zoom consult with Paula I knew this program was special! He worked with Paula and Lucie 5 days a week all summer. They were wonderful, they both took time to really get to know him and his interests. He loves Pokemon so they would include Pokemon stories in the lessons. They were incredibly patient with him when he couldn’t sit still or technology got the best of him. We started noticing improvement right away! Paula guaranteed he would be at grade level by the time he started 2nd grade and he was! We were so excited that during his parent teacher conference we were told his scores were only 5 points below “above grade level”! Paula is so special, she sent our son a “back to school” care package filled with his favorite things and even sent a little toy for our new baby! She also sent him another package to celebrate his reading scores! Look no further than Reading Success Academy!
