Great teacher!

This was Dona 5th session with my son and I see the improvement! My son is reading simple sentences on his own and learning to blend his sounds better. I appreciate all the work Dona is putting in.

Dona is amazing

Dona is great at keeping my son engaged during lessons. He is doing much better at school as a result. She covers everything during lessons and really spends time in explaining key concepts that he wasn’t able to grasp before.

Very knowledgeable and caring.

This will be her second week. What I have seen is Dona loves kids and my daughter loves her back. Dona engages with my daughter in a way that makes studying fun. I hope the continue the path and help my daughter.
