I met with his teacher and she said he's one of the best in the class with their reading tests for comprehension. His spelling continues to improve as well. He's getting recognized by classmates for being intelligent. His general demeanor with school is relaxed and happy this year. It's such an enormous improvement since he began working with Elizabeth. I'm so grateful Elizabeth facilitated this growth. She's changed his school experience for the better. Took us about 9 months of diligently following her program and it's not only caught him up to grade level but launched him ahead. Well worth it!

Under Elizabeth's tutelage I have watched my daughter really blossom and become a more confident, and efficient reader. Elizabeth is not only kind and patient, but also firm, which is exactly what my daughter needs to hold her attention! She explains the, "how," of reading and it just makes so much more sense than just mindlessly memorizing site words. I strongly recommend her!!

Very grateful for Ace Tutoring. We came for SAT help. I really didn't know what to expect because…read moremy son already had a score in the high 1300s. With Ace's help, he improved into the 1500s - top 1%. I appreciated Steve's honesty in offering no guarantees regarding score improvement (which are worthless guarantees anyways). His program isn't about tricks to "beat the system" or "crack the code". It's straight-on work on the academic skills that the SAT tests for. If your child gives honest effort, I can't think of why Ace wouldn't be able to help. And my review wouldn't be complete without mentioning that the teachers are awesome. To top it off, Steve's prices are very reasonable. For the in-person help you get, I'm not sure anyone beats his prices.

We appreciate your expertise and respect over 30 years of experience that you have, in helping humanity, through education and other areas. You are a beacon of light and hope to the world.

I should have written this review years ago because Patty Barna is an extraordinary tutor and the…read moreReading Remedy programming WORKS! My granddaughter was tutored by Ms. Patty beginning in Kindergarten because she struggled with making sense of letter sounds. She also had a harder time learning while sitting, so Ms. Patty created learning through movement "games" that engaged my granddaughter's learning style. Patty Barna challenged her in the warmest, most encouraging ways, making every challenge fun - and most importantly- successful. So successful that my granddaughter now, four years later, reads at the middle school/high school level and challenges herself constantly. I highly recommend Reading Remedy with Patty Barna. We're planning to use Ms. Patty again as a writing tutor. She has the gift of bringing out the best in the students she works with. Her decades of experience with students of varied abilities and learning styles coupled with her intuitive coaching and a great program are unbeatable. You'll be very happy with Reading Remedy and your kiddo will be happy and more confident as a student.. P.S. Both my granddaughters ask to visit Ms. Patty all the time.

She is amazing with children, and my son does not warm to people easily.

I am so grateful to Patty for helping my son master reading and increasing his confidence. I would highly recommend Patty Barna if your child is in need of reading intervention.

The entire experience has been nothing short of fantastic since the first day I ever waved goodbye to my toddler, leaving him in the care and educational guidance of amazing teachers, interns, and classroom helpers/volunteers! On entering and exiting the adorable CDC of MCC you are always welcomed with warm greetings and sent home with generous well-wishes by the woman behind the front-desk, Mark or Linda! (directors of the center) This school, located on the MiraCosta college campus, is a laboratory school meaning that students of the college studying Child Development are allowed to learn from children at play via observation booths or hands-on activities within the various classrooms in the center. Parents, of course, sign a waiver consenting to allowing their child to be observed. I think this aspect of the school is wonderful! It's like educational mutualism: everybody benefits! It's also great because as a parent or relative, you can visit your child's respective classroom observation booth and watch your kiddo in their natural element without them even knowing you're there! Each classroom is comprised of children within the same age range and the ratio between child and teacher is adequate and comforting! Children engage in many different kinds of play and learning every day of the week, in fact, teachers often plan their days based on what they have seen their students finding the most interest in! While the classrooms have routines that they try to follow to create that sense of a schedule for the children, it is never 100% cookie-cutter final: the children too can help drive the direction in which the activities go! The actual classrooms themselves are spacious and feel organic! (I LOVE the use of natural light to brighten the learning space and the fact that the classrooms are not equipped with those cheap, plastic climb on toys you might find at any other preschool-like setting!) Instead the classes are furnished with wooden structures for climbing on, cozy reading areas, play-pretend nooks, various child-sized round tables for a variety of different activities, spots made with specific themes in mind: science, math, writing, nature, ect, a place for group-time/gathering, and a lovely outdoor place space! Don't forget the tiny toilets! I have enjoyed my son going here as much as I believe that he too really enjoys being enrolled at this great preschool! The tuition is quite reasonable! The center offers rates dependent on whether a parent is a MIraCosta student or simply a member of the general population. The lines of communication are always open between families and the staff of the CDC, whether you'd like to speak in person, over the phone, or through email! I love when the center has events that bring children, their families, and the center's staff together. We really make a unique community!
