Testimonial

"My son was diagnosed with dyslexia at 7 years old. Ligia Stockwell has tutored him since 2nd grade, and he is now transitioning into 6th grade using the Barton Method. He has made amazing progress in his reading abilities. She has given him confidence, encouraged perseverance, and taught him effective strategies for breaking apart words to become a proficient reader and writer. She has taken the time to build a strong language/reading foundation using multi-sensory, direct, and sequential teaching methods. His teachers have been impressed with his progress, and he is close to being at grade level. We cannot thank Ligia enough for all her hard work."
