Success Stories

Students

"It's fun, but there is work involved. It makes you work hard to get what you want, but that's OK because the fun balances out the work. You get something good at the end. I like the rewards and all that. I also think that my writing and drawing skills are improving quite a bit. It is getting easier to write."

"I think this is an excellent program to help my student who is currently behind in his academic reading level. Having one-on-one tutoring gives him the extra attention he needs to improve his abilities and provides positive reinforcement! It is a wonderful gift for the children in this program."

"Seeing a student improve in reading is such a joy. I believe if you can read, you can do anything.
My student has gone from a reading level of 1.5 to 3.6, according to her teacher. Her math has also improved, and she isn't "scared of math anymore," as she puts it."

"To have the opportunity to give back to the community and have the firsthand opportunity to experience working with the kids who’ll soon enough be the future of us, and our society is priceless. It’s refreshing to see actual, real-life, initiatives to help children grow and create a more exhilarating learning environment for everyone involved. "
