"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!
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 in the fall, we were told his scores were only 5 points below “above grade level”!" -Katie, Kansas City

"This class is really amazing. I have seen such growth in my 2nd grader who is struggling with reading and has dyslexia. Mrs. Bunner is patient and has really gotten my little lady to open up."
-Lacey C. Dec. 2025 Outschool

"Not only did Paula help get my son on grade level very quickly, even during COVID when we had home learning, she was able to get him on grade level and keep him there for years. My son is now in seventh grade, and he no longer needs an IEP."
-Angie, Kansas City

"Ms. Smith is a very patient teacher and gave feedback very quickly. The course is also well-organized that can help my daughter understand phonics in an effective way. Highly recommend!" -Outschool Parent
