What Our Clients Say:
“Marisa has gone above and beyond to help our son and I can tell that she really cares about his progress. She is so patient and comes up with fun learning activities for their sessions. She always gives me pointers and things that I can work on at home with him. The best part is, my son LOVES going to see Marisa and reading/writing is no longer a chore for him.”
Shannon J. (Parent of 1st Grade Student)
“One of my students started working with Miss Donnelly and within a few short weeks, I saw marked improvement in his reading in class. He comes to class after his tutoring sessions with a positive outlook and understanding of his learning challenges. He is always happy to share with me about his achievements during his tutoring sessions. I can tell from his demeanor and progress that he is in very good hands with Miss Donnelly. I have already referred her to other families!”
Cara Dunn (3rd Grade Teacher of Tutoring Student)
“We had a great experience with our son in Miss Marisa’s fifth grade class. He went from struggling in school and slipping through the cracks to being held accountable and getting good grades. We always knew he was in good hands! We were always confident that our son was mastering the standards and that Miss Marisa sincerely cared about his education. We highly recommend Miss Marisa, as she is an excellent teacher!”
