Success Stories

"Hilary has been working with my daughter for the past three years. Hilary's kindness, patience, and encouraging spirit have made such a difference in our daughter's life. Using the Orton-Gillingham approach, she has helped my daughter make remarkable progress in reading and spelling. Beyond academic goals Hilary has built up my child's confidence. She celebrates every success, listens with genuine care, and creates a learning environment where my child feels safe, supported, and capable. Hilary is a rare and wonderful educator."

"Hilary was a great tutor for my son who has dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. She was very knowledgeable and able to use the Orton Gillingham approach. My son benefited a lot from his sessions with her. We had been concerned that the school was not providing a thorough enough approach. It was invaluable to have Hillary to augment some of the work my son was doing in school with a reading specialist. He also saw her over the summer to help ensure that he did not regress. Hillary has a very kind and patient approach. We will always be grateful for the work she did with our son. We recommend her whole heartedly!"

"When my son needed some extra support with reading, I was worried that he would go from a child who loved books, to feeling like reading was a drag, but that concern couldn't be farther from our experience with Hilary. My son is always excited for his time with Hilary and leaves his sessions feeling positive and energized. Hilary's grounding presence and love of laughter have helped my son lean into his learning and we've seen remarkable improvement in his skills and his confidence. I credit Hilary and am so grateful for the wonderful gift of seeing my child feel good about reading and himself."

"My son has worked with Hilary for several years, and I truly attribute his ability to read to her. He struggles with dyslexia, and despite our best efforts, we weren't finding the right support at school. Before working with her, reading brought him to tears; now he feels proud, capable, and confident. My son often says that she "teaches things you'll remember forever in ways you won't forget," and it's absolutely true. She is kind, patient, and makes learning fun. The transformation has been remarkable-he went from barely being able to read or write to feeling like "the best kid alive." We are endlessly grateful for her impact on his life."
