Anna is truly a god send. My son was unable to read when she first started with him. He is now reading full sentences and spelling. I honestly don’t know what we would do without her. She is friendly, always on time, has great communication, and is wonderful with my children and pets. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tutor!

Linda tries really hard to understand what your child needs to be a successful reader. My son really needed the one on one time I couldn’t give him-so tutoring was helpful, and explored his strengths and weaknesses. Would recommend Linda’s Tutoring for sure.

Pathway Learning Academy has truly been a blessing for my daughter. She’s 11, in 5th grade, and has dyslexia, so learning hasn’t always come easy. But the growth I’ve seen in her since starting tutoring here has been incredible. It’s not just about better grades (though those definitely improved!); it’s the confidence she’s gained in both reading and math that means the most to me. Her reading teachers actually pulled me aside to say how much progress she’s made and that she was keeping up consistently this year, and even ahead at times. That has never happened before. And with math, a subject that used to bring a lot of frustration and self-doubt, she now tackles problems with a whole new mindset. She’s not scared of it anymore.
What makes Pathway special is how comfortable they made her feel. The tutors are so kind and patient. I’d hear her during sessions laughing, excited, actually enjoying herself while learning. That’s not something you can force that comes from feeling safe and supported. And for a child with dyslexia, that environment is everything. We’ve had such a positive experience, and I would absolutely love to continue with them in the future. Pathway didn’t just help Hailey learn, they helped her believe in herself. And that, to me, is priceless.
