“When Calvin first started working with Natalie, he was at least a year behind in his reading and writing skills. He hated school. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, he has made incredible progress and reached the level he needed to be at. Their sessions, held twice a week, became something Calvin eagerly anticipated. Natalie’s ability to connect with him and make learning enjoyable was truly remarkable. He not only made progress, but he gained confidence in and out of the classroom. She kept me informed after each lesson, demonstrating her professionalism and commitment to his success. What stands out most is Natalie’s genuine care for her students. We are so grateful for her support and guidance; I truly don't know what we would have done without her. Natalie is simply the best!”

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Jaime! She has supported my daughter with reading for two years, starting in 2nd grade. With a history of phonological difficulties and other learning issues leading to resistance with reading, Jaime cracked the code to help her master sight words and progress towards grade level texts. We communicate after sessions and Jaime connects with her teachers to help complement in-class learning. She has also been a source of knowledge in preparation for IEP meetings. Jaime’s patience and enthusiasm has been instrumental in building my daughter’s confidence and reading skills. She is my daughter’s favorite teacher!”

My son's progress has been INCREDIBLE with Natalie. When he started with Natalie in Pre-K, he kicked and screamed about having to do "extra work" after school and tried to make the sessions very difficult for Natalie. However, Natalie quickly figured out how to connect with him and within a session or two, they were fast friends and he was learning without even realizing it. Natalie introduced games and other ways to make learning phonics fun and keep my son very engaged and interested. As he's gotten older, his progress is even more pronounced. From starting the school year behind where we wanted him to be in terms of reading and writing to seeing where he is now, it's a world of a difference. And his teachers sing Natalie's praises, which is a pretty awesome compliment!

“We are so thankful for Natalie’s dedication and hard work! She has been instrumental in helping our daughter improve her writing skills. We were impressed by her clear explanations and patience. Natalie always made sure to communicate with us about her work with my daughter all throughout the process. She was key in collaborating with our child’s school teachers to support her progress. She also made learning fun and engaging, which has helped my daughter become more confident and enthusiastic about writing. We are truly grateful for your positive impact on Arya’s learning experience!”

Conrad was very into reading but frustrated with writing. Natalie used his interests and favorite things as motivational tools to make writing fun again. Conrad has now achieved all his goals and "graduated" from his sessions with Natalie, but asked if he could keep seeing her anyway! "I know I don't need her anymore, but she can still come play with me!"

When my son started 1st grade he was behind his classmates in reading. We would try to help him at home, but he would get frustrated and most evenings' homework sessions would end in tears. I really wasn't sure how to motivate him on my own. I reached out to Jaime from Learning Concierge and she immediately put me at ease. She did a thorough evaluation and I was so impressed when she shared her findings with me. She created a detailed plan for catching him up to speed and I felt like we were in good hands. Since he started with Jaime I have noticed that he is less reluctant to pick up a book to read. Before he would not even try but working with her has given him the confidence to make reading a part of his every day. Jaime is very communicative with his teacher and understands the reading curriculum he uses at school. Everything he learns with her helps him in the classroom too. She has improved his confidence all around and he looks forward to each session with her! We are very thankful to have found Jaime and Learning Concierge!

We first met Jaime in the fall of 2020 when Sasha, then in 4th grade, was struggling with the impact of online learning. Since then, Jaime has been a constant source of support and guidance, working with Sasha through both elementary and middle school in Math and English.
Jaime’s ability to connect with Sasha, keep her engaged, grow with her and challenge her academically has made a tremendous difference. Sasha not only became a stronger student but also developed a genuine love for learning. Working with Jaime has truly been a game-changer for her growth and confidence.

Working with Jaime has been a transformative experience for my daughter. Jaime has a sunny, joyful personality that allows her to connect on a deep level with a challenging child. She finds ways to make homework and other dreaded activities engaging and fun. I cannot recommend her enough!
