Crying tears of JOY!

 I'm tearing up as I write this, because I was afraid for my daughter's future before we found Mrs. Jeannie Ross. First, she was able to interpret the psychologist's report and explain what every test really meant (they didn't do that at the school meeting) and exactly what this meant in terms of my child's learning style/ needs. Then she assessed her and created a custom program, and from that point on Yvette really took off. The specialist at school couldn't believe how fast she was learning and asked what we had done. If I had relied on the school, she would still be stuck reading 1st grade books. Now my daughter with dyslexia is reading at grade level and LOVES to read for pleasure. THANK YOU SO MUCH!  Glorietta Parker Jones Rancho San Diego

Looking for Reading Simplified, EBLI, Linguistic Phonics Tutor

Dear Mrs. Ross,  Here is my recommendation/story: I'm a teacher myself, so I was extremely concerned when my third grade son did not learn to read or spell at school. They tried to have him memorize sight words and called it reading, but I knew it wasn't, and he couldn't achieve his full potential with that kind of foundation. I did a lot of research and suspected he had dyslexia. I also was interested in the science of reading, linguistic phonics, and programs like EBLI, Sounds Write, and Reading Simplified which made faster progress. That is when I discovered Mrs. Jeannie Ross. She identified his learning issues and created customized lessons to address my son's precise learning needs. Now he reads fluently, and his spelling is vastly improved. We are extremely grateful to her, and believe that he has a bright future ahead of him, all due to her tutoring.  Lisa Schmidt, La Jolla

Custom Lessons made the difference

Thank you so much, Mrs. Ross!! Your customized lessons made all the difference. We had been sending our daughter to a tutor that did the same program for every child, and our child wasn't progressing. We were told that it could take her years to catch on. Once we came to Mrs. Ross, she quickly identified where she needed to begin and created custom lessons every week that immediately brought the results we were looking for. Olivia went from bottom of the class to reading on grade level much more quickly than we ever thought possible. Highly recommend!  Jamie Covington, Chula Vista

Help for Learning to Read

 My daughter knew some of the sounds, but she couldn't blend words or read like other kids in her class. It just got worse as time went on but the teachers just said we had to wait. She was receiving some extra help at school, but it was taking way too long. I finally decided to look for a tutor and found Mrs. Ross. She recognized signs of dyslexia that were later confirmed by testing. It runs in the family, which we didn't know before. It's shameful that we couldn't be helped by the school, but that is the case. Mrs. Ross knew the right teaching methods that made everything fall into place and gave my daughter self-esteem and confidence. We are really thankful.  Richard Bolton, San Diego

Homeschooling with Mrs. Ross

 We chose to homeschool our son, but it proved to be quite a challenge. The facilitating teacher in the group we belonged to was not an expert in teaching children with dyslexia or ADHD. We did our best in kindergarten and first grade, but Jackson was still unable to tell us what sounds the letters were making. I knew that I had to get help. I found Mrs. Ross online and asked for a Zoom meeting. She became my homeschooling consultant, preparing lesson plans and custom materials for our son, and then teaching me how to teach him myself. I was able to administer the instruction in little portions throughout the day to work around his ADHD. I could see for the first time that this was the right program for him. Mrs. Ross is a great advocate for homeschooling parents.  Caroline Meyers, El Cajon

Speech to Print Tutor in San Diego

 I was looking for someone using the speech to print method because my dyslexic daughter was not progressing with the OG tutoring method we had used for years. I was reading online that people were getting faster results with EBLI or Reading Simplified. When I met with Jeannie Ross I knew that she knew what she was talking about. She explained to me how she used structured linguistic phonics and how that method was different and why she used it in her tutoring. It worked for my child, quickly getting her up to grade level in reading. We can't be happier. Patricia Brooks, San Carlos
