Gavin Reid has been a great contributor to the entire dyslexia movement and the work that Gavin is doing around the world is so important.
Few people can communicate as successfully as Gavin Reid on this subject; he reaches out, not just to those who suffer the pains and frustrations of dyslexia, but just as importantly, he opens the eyes of the parents to allow them a better understanding, of their children.
I’ve just finished your book on Dyslexia and I wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading your book. I was also pleased to see your connection to Fraser Academy in Vancouver. Both my sister and best friend were students there and it turned their lives around having such a positive learning environment. Your writing is such a refreshing change from the usual reading I’ve had to do for my training over the years!
As a parent, I was often told, to take time and get to know your own kid, as each is unique. This way, mommy/daddy can help kiddo to pursue his/her true self. That’s exactly the outcome, after seeing Dr. Reid, life changing for both Abby (my 7 years’ old at the time of visit) and my husband & I. With just 2 days of visits, right the way, Dr. Reid created a very welcoming environment for Abby to freely and truly express herself. While Abby and I was walking out the office, Abby simply said ‘when can I come back?’ Then, Abby just went on and on about how fun her assessment sessions were, and loved this part, and that part…etc.! Thank you Dr. Reid, grateful of you!
“We are so pleased with the progress our son has made in his reading and writing, by working with Ms. C. She has been so supportive and has helped give my son the tools and confidence he needs to achieve his goals. The environment Ms. C creates is always fun, positive and encouraging! Thank you Ms. C for helping us on our journey!”
“As the busy parents of three young kids, we were feeling panicked when one of our kids was diagnosed as having a Learning Disability with reading. Jenn not only put us completely at ease with the clear plan and communication, but within a year our daughter is caught up and reading at grade level. Most importantly she LOVES TO READ, and feels so positive and confident!”
Thanks
Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have found Jenn as an OG tutor for my son. Prior to working with Jenn, my son was struggling at school with reading and spelling due to his learning disabilities. Jenn has been able to increase my son’s phonological awareness immensely in a short period of time. As a result, my son’s reading accuracy and speed has improved, and he has gone from struggling with his spelling tests to getting 100%! Jenn also makes the lessons fun, and my son LOVES going to see her. My son’s confidence and success at school has greatly improved thanks to Jenn.
“My 8 year old granddaughter struggled to read, was below grade level and had very little confidence. But after six months of after-school tutoring with Jenn Clark twice a week, she reads beautifully, comprehends it, has caught up to her class and most importantly, LOVES school! She looks forward to her tutoring sessions with Jenn! Jenn knows how to make learning fun, and how to build a connection with young children, a truly remarkable skill. I highly recommend her.”
I heartily recommend Jenn Clark’s tutoring services. When we first realized that our daughter was struggling with reading and writing, it was difficult to understand what was happening for her and there were insufficient school resources to help. Once she was diagnosed with dyslexia, what our daughter needed became clear and it was such a relief to have Jenn’s support. Through Jenn’s services, our daughter has established firm foundational skills in reading and writing, and continues to progress quickly in her literacy. She now better understands her own learning process and has gained confidence in both her literacy and her overall learning.
I’m a true believer of the below. Before the talk of academic and discipline, we should always first take care of our little ones’ mental states, emotions, and passions (likes/dislikes). Abby has been doing sessions with Jenn for almost a year now, and just absolutely LOVES Jenn. As with each session, Jenn makes it super fun and magically attracts Abby’s FULL attention towards Jenn and the materials, even over virtual zoom sessions! On top, just after few months, Abby’s school teachers already noticed huge improvements with Abby’s reading and writing! Jenn, you ROCK!
Our daughter has been working with Jenn for the past year and a half, receiving OG lessons. During this time we have seen a significant increase in not only her reading and writing ability, but also her confidence in these areas. Most importantly, Jenn is able to connect with our daughter and she looks forward to her lessons with Jenn.
