I've hired a few other tutors before hiring Planting Seeds with Chris. My son has always been…read morechallenging in wanting to study and complete his homework. His English grades have mostly been close to failing. However, Chris has found a way to motivate him and got him on track to put some effort in. Chris is the most organized, encouraging, and well rounded tutor I've hired for my son. Because of this, my son's study habits and grades have significantly improved. Currently he is making an A in English and I'm grateful to have hired Chris to help.

Prior to Planting Seeds Tutoring & Test Prep, my younger brother struggled with reading. Despite…read moretrying out several methods, nothing seemed to work for him as his teacher informed me that he would only answer 2 out of 38 questions correctly during his mock STAAR reading tests. During that time, he would take up the whole day whereas everyone else completed their assessments within 4 hours. Fortunately, my mother and I found Planting Seeds Tutoring & Test Prep on Thumbstack. Chris was very quick at responding back to my emails. Within a few days, he introduced us to India. She served as my younger brother's tutor for a month up until the day before the actual STAAR reading test. Within the first meeting, she assessed my brother and determined how many hours per week he required to gain maximum help. During the tutoring sessions, she tried her very best to make it fun and interactive for my brother to learn new reading and writing skills. She also communicated with the teacher in order to accommodate her lessons with his reading performance in school. Within the third week, he successfully answered 27 out of 38 questions correctly during another mock STAAR reading test. While going over his exam, I noticed all the analytical notes my brother took alongside each reading passage. He then proceeded to tell me how they greatly helped him answer the more difficult questions. Overall, there were several aspects that I greatly liked about Planting Seeds Tutoring & Test Prep: 1. Chris informed my mother and I about the financial matters behind their services prior to the first session with India 2. India always informed me whenever she was running late and always made up by staying in a few minutes extra 3. Compared to the more expensive tutoring services in Houston, their prices made it easier for my mother to afford additional tutoring sessions with India 4. My mother and I found it very convenient that they offer at-home tutoring sessions. India provided consistent tutoring sessions that worked well around our schedules 5. India usually supplied additional homework that further helped my brother gain reading tactics necessary to pass the STAAR test 6. Everyone from Planting Seeds Tutoring & Test Prep are very professional and courteous. Even though we are not currently utilizing their services, they are more than willing to help out my brother during the remainder of the school year and beyond! We are currently anticipating my brother's actual STAAR reading results from TEA. We're truly hoping their services aided my brother in attaining a passing grade!

The training space has a nice layout. As a Mac person I was worried that there would only be PC's available. Not the case! Snacks and coffee were available daily. Lumenbrite rocks!

We cannot express enough how thankful we are for Kendall Crohn's guidance at Mathnasium. It was…read morevery clear from the first call to Kendall to set up our daughter's calculus tutoring sessions that Kendall was a professional. Very courteous, very responsive and great to work with. Kendall is passionate about her approach to work but more importantly she is equally as passionate about ensuring the success of her students. Over the many years of our kids being tutored, we have never had someone that actually ensured our daughter sent outlines of what was being taught that week at school to better prepare for tutoring sessions. Kendall also reassigned who was tutoring our daughter if we didn't think they were the perfect match, tutored our daughter multiple sessions when things got busy and provided multiple options for additional sessions prior to taking exams. It is an understatement when I say that Kendall and the Mathnasium team helped Lauren raise her grade at least one full letter value. Thank you so much Kendall for everything you do and everything you have done for our daughter, we are very thankful. I'm sure Mathnasium is also thankful for what you do. You are the perfect example of what every employer looks for in an employee.

She was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and we started looking for some outside help. Everyone I spoke to recommended LearnLee tutoring, and boy were they right!

In just a few months not only have we seen improvements, I even got a phone call from her math teacher saying she also was noticing her math skills were stronger and she was staying on top of her assignments.

My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Ann. Our son struggled with learning to…read moreread in Kindergarten. Learning sight words was particularly problematic for him as was identifying rhyming words and following multi-step directions. I am a former teacher, and my bag of tricks was not helping him. Ann evaluated our son in March of his Kinder year and quickly identified fundamental areas that we needed to address. We also began a Listening program using sound therapy to target sensory motor issues. Ann is the ultimate professional, but she is also a great motivator and coach. Although my son had started to shut down at school and with us at home, he was willing to work for Ann. She is just the right combination of no-nonsense and positive encouragement. She knows her stuff. I immediately felt that my son was safe in her hands and that our money was well spent. As a parent, I learned so much from watching Ann work with my son, and she gave me the confidence to implement what she was doing with my son at home. My son worked with Ann throughout the summer after his Kinder year on reading (in addition to doing a sound therapy program). The progress he has made with reading is truly remarkable, and I cry when I think about the difference in my boy in less than a year. We were already beginning to hear him make comments that he wasn't smart and that reading was too hard for him. Under Ann's guidance and instruction, our son's confidence has soared. Not only is he reading, but he views himself as a capable learner and reader -- HUGE!!

She has helped create creative and functional goals that have extremely benefited my children. Not too many advocates have not only been a special education teacher in various grades but also have a child with special needs herself. Her specialty is Advocacy, and she knows the ins and outs of what is reasonable to ask of a school and what the school's responsibility is to provide. Her presence at each one of my kids' ARD meetings has allowed me to be a mom and let her advocate for what's best for my children's future. I can't say enough about my experience working with Harper Advocacy. I'm not sure my children would have received the resources they needed without her. Her knowledge and advice are worth every penny! I'm glad to have Dr. Harper in my corner during this journey.

I feel like they truly care about my daughter and listen to what I have to say. Dr. Nicholson and Ms. Renita are both fantastic and very knowledgeable, and I feel like they managed to find and retain really great teachers. They emphasize the importance of free play, which I agree with, but they also do lots of art and they do a jamboree with singing and dancing twice a week. Another thing I really like is what they call a sociodramatic play event: once a month they set up a new scene in the hall like a camping site, a restaurant, a veterinarian clinic for the kids to play.
