Testimonials

We want the DAC to know how much we appreciate our tutor spending her time with our son, Joe. When he was first diagnosed with dyslexia, he was in a bad place. He was dreading school, crying when we tried to read with him, and embarrassed that he was dyslexic. He is now happy and willing to put in the time. He doesn’t complain about tutoring at all. I attribute that to working with our tutor.

I cannot understate how much help Tommy was to Colin. His patience and expertise have helped Colin achieve a much greater comfort level with reading than a year ago when he started the program. His standardized test scores are up significantly, and he has a newfound confidence in his abilities. We cannot thank him enough for his assistance.

My 5th grade daughter has been working with her tutor, Maggie, for just over 7 months (once a week during the school year, twice a week over the summer). We recently had her parent teacher conference at school and her teachers said "if you are wondering if the extra tutoring that she is getting is helping - it is!" They can see her using techniques to help her read and spell that she has learned from her work with Maggie. Her state testing scores in reading also went from the 27th percentile to the 48th percentile — 78% growth! There is still work to be done, but so far, we couldn't be happier with these results.

My daughter could not read when we started at the Dyslexia Achievement Center. She is now reading at a first grade level. Her tutor has helped her learn to love to read.

My son was behind in reading by about a year. Working at the Dyslexia Achievement Center has helped him get back to grade level in only 6 months. He is more confident and now enjoys reading.

I second Dyslexia Achievement Center in Elm Grove. Our son worked with Tommy there. He is fabulous.

Our interventionist is very personable, tolerant, easy going and keeps our daughter going. Love his work.

I can’t tell you enough on how well Flannery deals with my kids, and keeps them calm, and focused. They are making so much progress in reading.

We have seen so much growth in her reading over the past year, and she has gained a lot of confidence in her decoding skills. We look forward to expanding on this growth this school year.

We thank you with all our hearts. She has made so much progress. We truly appreciate all you have done for her.

Andrea is so kind and helpful, we have seen a lot of progress in our son.

Thank you again for all of your hard work, patience and kindness with our son. He and I talked after the session tonight. He felt he definitely learned a lot working with you. He also talked about how he really appreciated your kindness, understanding and your overall style of teaching. One last thing we talked about is how people like you impact our lives and add to the totality of who we are as a person.

My son, saw you (Nicole) a couple years ago for an evaluation of dyslexia. You were wonderful with him. He has struggled his entire life, and you helped so much for all of us to understand where he is at with his disability.
