Madeline looks forward to working with Mimi each week and we appreciate the variety in learning, the flexibility in learning styles, and the fun and laughter that is a part of every session. Mimi has helped build our daughter’s confidence and given her the tools to now read at her grade level and to be proud of her accomplishments. Mimi has been a lifesaver for our family and we would highly recommend her to anyone in need of educational therapy.

Mimi was an incredible resource for my children.  She instantly understood both my son’s particular needs and worked with them with warmth and kindness yet held them to high standards.  The boys loved going to see her and the improvements in their writing and spelling was incredible.  My reluctant writer is now set to major in English and creative writing.  The one on one support she gave and assistance with organization and executive function was instrumental in setting them both up for success in high school and beyond.

In a few month time span, Mimi was able to tap into our son Jack’s unique motivators and help bring his reading to grade level. She was very flexible with him (and us), allowing him to explore topics that simultaneously were of interest to him and incorporated the needed learnings.  Mimi was in tune with Jack's energy levels on any given day, and tweaked the day’s work for the best outcome.

When my daughter was about to start kindergarten, we noticed she didn’t seem to “stack up” to her peers with respect to reading and writing. Soon, we realized she was towards the “bottom” of her class academically, and decided she needed help.  We called Mimi based on some references I had gotten from friends.  Mimi was awesome, she did a screening on Rachel in order to figure out her gaps.  Rachel had so much fun working with her, and never actually knew that she was being assessed.  She couldn’t wait to work Mimi again!! Mimi’s enthusiasm and patience mixed with her solid skills helped Rachel with her learning, so much so, that by the end of the school year, the gap had narrowed significantly.  I can’t say enough about Mimi. She works magic, and my daughter couldn’t have loved the time they spent together more.
