WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
KIND WORDS FROM MY LOVELY CLIENTS
"Our family cannot say enough good things about Jessica. She is truly top-notch and knows her stuff. She has been working with my daughter for 5 years and has guided her from a Kindergartner who needed help simply sitting and writing to the highest reading group in 4th grade. Jessica is kind, compassionate, and thorough. She tailored my daughter’s sessions to fit her specifically. She and my daughter share a very special bond and we feel so lucky to have Jessica."

"I am in 6th grade and I have been working with Jessica since Kindergarten. I never thought she would help so much. We have worked on writing a lot and I learned how to make my stories more descriptive through different strategies like, show don’t tell, using adjectives and dialogue. I used to not be confident about my literacy skills, but after working with Jessica I feel so much better about it. She has made me so much more advanced and I am one of the best writers in my grade. Jessica is kind and brings a positive vibe to every single one of our sessions. I do not know what I would have done without her. Thank you, Jessica!"
