"I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. Before we found her, my child struggled with reading for years and consistently performing below grade level, despite working with different tutors and trying a variety of different reading interventions. It was becoming incredibly challenging as my child was struggling in other areas too due to not being able to read proficiently.
From the beginning, it was clear that Rachel was different. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dyslexia, exceptionally thorough and deeply committed to her students’ success. She took the time to understand my child’s specific learning needs and developed a personalized plan that addressed the root of the challenges rather than just addressing the symptoms. Every lesson was thoughtful, engaging, and purposeful.
I’m really impressed by Rachel‘s willingness to go above and beyond. She was always prepared, communicated consistently about my child’s progress, and provided strategies we could use at home to reinforce learning. Her encouragement, patience, and unwavering commitment to my child’s learning helped me support my child in a collaborative process to ensure her progress.
The results have been remarkable! After years of being below grade level, despite multiple interventions, my child is now reading on grade level and achieved grade level performance on nationwide standardized testing.
Rachel has made a lasting difference, not only in my child’s academic achievements, but also in their confidence. If you are looking for someone with the expertise, dedication, and compassion to help a child with dyslexia reach their full potential, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She has been a true gift to our family."

His decoding skills, reading confidence, and overall comfort with reading have progressed noticeably, and he now approaches reading tasks with greater ease and motivation. These improvements have been consistent and have made a meaningful difference in his learning.
We believe this progress is a direct result of your structured, methodical approach and your ability to engage N____ in a way that keeps him focused and confident. Your clear explanations, patience, and individualized support have helped him build stronger foundational reading skills while also boosting his self-confidence as a learner.

" I am writing this letter not only as a parent, but as someone who has walked a long, difficult journey raising a dyslexic child. If you are feeling exhausted, unsure, or even discouraged, I want you to know that I understand and I want to share why Miss Abraham has been such an extraordinary part of our lives.
Miss Abraham is not merely a teacher who teaches reading. She is far more than that. She guided my son, A____, through an emotional journey that, as a parent, I sometimes did not know how to guide myself. She understood his fears, frustrations, and resistance, and she
met him with patience, empathy, and quiet strength.
When A____ first began lessons with her, he could not read. Years of school complaints, repeated frustrations, and emotional setbacks had taken a toll on both of us. There were moments when I felt helpless and deeply discouraged as a parent. At times, I almost lost motivation after facing so many disappointments. Miss Abraham did not only support my
child , she supported me. She helped me understand my role as a parent better, guided me emotionally, and slowly rebuilt my belief that my son could succeed.
There were moments when she believed in A____ more than I did. She never dismissed his struggles, yet she never allowed them to define him. Through carefully planned strategies, personalised learning, and genuine care, she helped A____ grow not just academically, but
emotionally. Over time, that belief became mine too. And today, that belief has been proven.
A____ is now a fluent reader, the fear and hopelessness that once surrounded reading are gone. Even now, after online sessions with Miss Abraham have ended, she remains very much present in his heart. He still speaks about her and says, without hesitation, that she is
the best teacher he has ever had and always will be. As a parent, I am deeply touched knowing that she has become part of his most meaningful and positive memories of learning.
Because of Miss Abraham, a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Some of my deepest worries have eased. She gave my child confidence, and she gave me hope. That is a gift I can never fully repay.
If you are looking for someone who will not only teach your child how to read, but will also walk alongside your child and you with patience, compassion, and unwavering belief, I give Miss Abraham my strongest recommendation.
She is not just a teacher. She is a guide, a companion, and a blessing to families like ours."
