Parents & Students Love Great Leaps

"Great Leaps Tutoring made a world of difference for my son. Before beginning the tutoring, he was three grade levels behind in reading. Within three months, not only has his reading level increased nearly two full grade levels, but his fluency, phonics, and vocabulary have improved. It is helping to build his confidence and speech articulation significantly. I highly recommend Great Leaps Tutoring, they are truly amazing, and words cannot express my gratitude”

“Asher quite literally changed the course of our son’s life. He was a tutor and a role model, switching struggles and frustrations into challenges, and challenges into proud moments. Catching up on skill and confidence in reading has shifted his relationship to school and all classes. Without this experience, there’s really no telling how much farther behind he would’ve fallen, or how upset with himself he might have become.”

“Y'all are the perfect combination of 'in-person' but also 'at your convenience.' And I'm thinking '15 minutes a day, but 5 days per week,' okay, that may work, but worst case, it doesn't work. No problem. And sure enough, it worked! We love our tutor, Sonya, so much, it kind of just feels like she's an extension of our family since she's in our home 15 minutes every single day!"

“Great Leaps has been a game changer for our son. He does it 5x/week, for 15 min each day. Even when he's home sick from school, or we are on vacation, or his teacher is out sick, I never worry about him getting behind or missing reading, because he can meet with his tutor anywhere with internet access. Also--his PROGRESS. He started in Sept and it's now Feb, and just last week his tutor (Janice, who we LOVE) had him redo his first exercise. The first time, it took him 60 seconds to read the passage and he had 4 mistakes. This time, it took him 14 seconds and he had zero mistakes. This program is amazing. Begin IMMEDIATELY. You won't regret it. It's research based and so intentional, and you will watch your child FLOURISH.”

"My 13-year old grandson is really lucky to have Carly Baluarte as his tutor. When she speaks to him, it's always in an upbeat and encouraging tone. She always asks him about his day, or his plans for the weekend to make him feel comfortable. Sometimes teens can be difficult because of the many distractions, but she is extremely patient and understanding. He has made a lot of progress over the past 6 months and we are very happy!"

“I cannot begin to thank you enough for taking my reluctant reader, and helping unlock his potential and helping him cultivate a love for reading. Not only did he learn how to read, he learned how to fail with grace and try again the next day. This mama’s heart is eternally grateful. We started this journey feeling hopeless, and we are left at the end hopeful, strong and confident.”

“We got him evaluated… The psychologist said he would probably always need accommodations like someone to dictate and write for him. We’ve been doing Great Leaps for 4 months now and he’s gained I think 2.4 grade levels in reading. It makes homeschooling way easier. It’s allowing him to learn new words without having to drill and kill. I’ve been recommending this to my friends… It’s opened up his world and his life.”

“My child has a mild intellectual disorder/ADD/ADHD/Auditory Processing Disorder, so I did not know how the tutor would handle him. His tutor was Carolyn and she was very patient and got to know him over the first month and I felt she really understood his disabilities. He enjoyed sitting with her each day and she was able to get him to participate in an acceptable manner. Sadly, she had to take a leave of absence and we are on our second tutor (Jammye) who is still getting to know my son, but even after a couple weeks she is also learning how to teach him with his disabilities. Both tutors communicated with me through text which I requested to make my life easier. Both tutors have listened to my suggestions and followed through with them. Both tutors have changed times if I requested due to schedule changes at my house. Both tutors responded to my texts quickly. His learning speed is not fantastic, but Great Leaps is helping. I would recommend Great Leaps.”

“I am so happy with the great leaps program, and especially with our tutor Sonya. I am most happy with how much Venitia enjoys her daily classes. Sonya makes it so fun and special for her. It has never been about speed for me, but about daily, consistent learning--it's more of a marathon than a race and for that to be sustainable, it needs to be fun as well as informative. This program achieves that. So yes, I am very happy with the program, and Venitia's progress, and especially with Ms. Sonya!”

“Carly is fantastic! My daughter’s reading has progressed in leaps and bounds (no pun intended) since she started with her!”

“Jammye has become the teacher my daughter every day is very excited to meet and do her reading with. She doesn’t like it when she misses her class. My daughter’s eagerness to read showcases the confidence she is getting and her reading is improving gradually.”
