What Our Students' Families Are Saying...
Jean Davis
"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

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!

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

"After trying other avenues without seeing the progress we had hoped for, we were starting to feel helpless. Finding this program was the turning point for our family, and it has truly been a safe investment. Our son started at a 2nd-grade reading level, and in just about 12 weeks, he jumped all the way to a 4th-grade level. He genuinely enjoyed working with his teacher, who was not only engaging but also incredibly flexible with our family's schedule.
The biggest change hasn't just been his test scores, but his confidence. He actually views himself as a capable reader now and doesn't get frustrated like he used to. What really sets this program apart is that they truly honor their 'Success Guarantee.' After the initial 12 weeks, our son was borderline 4th-grade level in one specific area. Without hesitation, they allowed him to continue for another 3 weeks to ensure he was solidly at an early-to-mid 4th-grade level before finishing. I liked so much that they continued these sessions after the program to ensure he reached his goals that I will be purchasing sessions for my other two boys as well.
I also really appreciated that everything was included in the upfront cost—having access to premium programs like Accelerated Reader without having to buy extra materials was a huge bonus. We took full advantage of the spelling words and online reading resources to read books at his level, which perfectly supported the daily classes. Communication was top-notch; they were always quick to answer any questions we had. We are absolutely thrilled with these results!"

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!
