“LGR Learning Group’s tutors are kind, loving and engaging, both in-person and on Zoom. I credit my daughter’s love of reading and writing to them and my family is grateful to have them in our lives.”

  • “Ilse’s caring, expertise, and customized approach took our son from reading at below grade level to grade level, increasing his confidence as a reader and student.”

  • “LGR Learning Group's knowledgeable tutors are adept at providing assessments, pinpointing what needs work, and creating customized plans for the students at my school--I’m a private school learning specialist--who require additional literacy support.

  • “Ilse has done a great job of putting together and training a team of tutors for LGR Learning Group, all of whom have the foundation and experience to best support your child.”

  • “We were referred to LGR Learning Group by a neuropsychologist after my son, who is dyslexic, was struggling with reading. He met with a tutor three times a week during his summer break and, by the end of six weeks, made incredible gains. Three years later, he is a strong, confident, motivated reader and learner.”

  • “LGR Learning Group’s tutors are kind, loving and engaging, both in-person and on Zoom. I credit my daughter’s love of reading and writing to them and my family is grateful to have them in our lives.”

  • “This group knows how to teach dyslexic and non-dyslexic children to read. In addition to turning my reluctant reader into a book lover, they helped me advocate for my child, navigate the school system and secure the support she needs.”

  • “We started working with LGR Learning Group to help our son who was having difficulty with decoding. When presenting her findings to my family, Ilse was calm, direct, and informative. She took him from the bottom to the top reading group in his class.”

  • “We hired Nancy shortly after our son, who could not read, was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADD. A few short years later, he scored in the 99th percentile for reading fluency and comprehension [on school-administered standardized tests]. His teachers have shared that he is an excellent writer, too. I am overwhelmed with relief and gratitude.”

  • “School was a struggle for my bright, creative child until he started working with Cailin. She found meaningful and dynamic ways to engage him and helped him become a proficient, grade-level reader. Cailin also helped our family research and identify more appropriate schools than the public one he attended.”

  • “I highly recommend LGR to anyone whose child needs extra help or who wants their child to get to the next step. Ilse’s “method” is great, but so is her ability to connect with my daughter. She makes what could be tedious, engaging.”

  • “Ilse is not only a wonderful reading teacher, but a wonderful person with the kindest heart. She cares as much about how our children are doing in life as they are in the classroom.”

  • “LGR Learning Group has been the key to unlocking my kids’ academic success. Both read beautifully and confidently. My middle schooler is a star student and I’ve caught my third grader sneaking books past her bedtime.”

  • “Ian has been a great resource for my family, educating us about language-based learning challenges, communicating with my sons’ teachers and other specialists, and creating customized, measurable programs for each. Highly recommend!”

  • “Thank you, Jessica, for your expertise and support with my mom’s healing and recovery after her stroke. Your sessions have been life-changing and we will appreciate them forever.”

  • “Is your child drowning in school? The LGR Learning Group tutors are not just the life preservers, they are the swim instructors! I have seen my kids achieve success that was beyond what I thought possible. Of note, their ability to help my children identify their strengths and challenges as learners, and implement strategies for the latter.”

  • “I wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks for taking the time to answer my family’s many questions about dyslexia. Your guidance, compassion, and evidence-based approach to supporting children with dyslexia will be crucial to helping our daughter overcome her reading challenges.”

  • “Thank you for getting my child unstuck. After years of struggling, he is finally reading at the level of his peers.”

  • “These tutors are warm and extremely patient. They know how to make instruction fun but also how to communicate to kids that learning to read and write is hard work! My daughter looks forward to her sessions and even doing the homework.”

  • “My child struggled with reading in kindergarten and first grade and benefitted immensely from LGR’s systematic, multisensory approach. She was given homework she could complete independently and able to incorporate schoolwork into her sessions.”

  • “That was really fun,” my child said to me after a session with her LGR tutor. “Next time I complain about tutoring, remind me how much I like it”.

  • “Our son loved working with Cailin and looked forward to every session. She worked with our crazy schedule, kept him engaged, and dramatically improved his reading ability. Family and friends comment on how much better his skills—and confidence—are.
