Testimonials
"Thank you. You were so great to work with and were always wonderful with the boys. You made handwriting fun. The improvement I saw in both my boys was remarkable and was even noticed by their teacher. After working in their class, I see how difficult it can be when handwriting is getting in the way of true learning. I am so glad we did the coaching sessions now so that my kids can focus on reading and learning, not how to write. " ~ Stefanie A., Olivenhain, CA
“I consider your class a gift to Nicole… She wasn’t even writing some version of her name before this class and now she can legibly write her first name, thank you. … She loves you as a teacher and the class as a whole so keep up the good work and thank you." ~Caron S., Carlsbad, CA
