I highly recommend It's Academic Tutoring! The Director and the tutors' enthusiasm for and expertise in teaching are exceptional, helping students learn the techniques and love of learning, not just cramming in facts. While my son was being tutored, I have had many opportunities to talk with the Director and tutor William informally, and have also overheard tutoring sessions. I am impressed with their passion for teaching. My son has special needs and it can be quite challenging to motivate him, or find ways to get through to him. He was tutored years ago to help lay a better foundation in math, and started back again this year to work on reading and language arts. I appreciate his tutor, Annette for her patience, creativity, insights and expertise. My son was also referred by the school district for vision therapy with Lyna, the vision therapist at the center. He has made great progress, but is medically complicated so we will likely need ongoing therapy for some time. Both Lyna and Annette are also working on brain rehabilitation programs including interactive metronome and a brain fitness program, respectively. Additionally, an educational advocate recommended we try prism glasses, so we recently consulted and are working with Dr. Spurling, a neuro optometric rehabilitation optometrist at the center. Without exception, I can say everyone I have encountered has been kind, compassionate, innovative, enthusiastic and very competent. Shannon R. read more

Just got around to writing this comment. My daughter flew to San Diego over the summer to get assessed. I live in Toronto and found out about It's Academic through a friend. It is a very unique place and I don't know of anyone doing the same things up here. My daughter has had a learning disability and has taken medication for ADHD most of her life. She is twenty-one. She was assessed by Dr. Spurling, Mrs. Dyson and Dr. Wiedre. The exams were very thorough and my daughter learned quite a lot about herself when the results were presented. She learned that there was a difference between acuity and perception. She is wearing glasses that had an immediate on her balance and her ability to focus. After several weeks, she stopped taking her medication for ADHD and is still not using it. I can't say enough about everyone at It's Academic. Expect a lot more visitors from Toronto! There are a lot of lucky people in San Diego. read more

It's Academic Tutoring is the BEST! I appreciate all the help Annette has given Francesca. I have seen a great deal of improvement in both reading and writing. She understands more of the complete story when she reads a book. This helps when she structures a written paragraph. The other area of improvement has been in her confidence and understanding and I know these sessions have helped build her confidence as she approaches middle school. We tried 2 other facilities prior and there is no comparison. We have had such a great experience with Howard and Annette that now Francesca picks up books and is enthusiastic about reading. I am very pleased with It's Academic Tutoring. You have really made a difference. Bianca Reyes read more

Well worth the investment. Its Academic Tutoring (Howard) helped my son learn to read and stay focused on his school work. Howard took the time to work with him to discover the issues and areas he needed particular help in. He was especially helpful with regard to my son's visual deficiencies. He guided him from reading well below grade level to well above grade level in both speed and comprehension. In addition, Howard took time out to meet with the school to discuss my son's specific concerns and was always there to support me. It is my pleasure to whole-heartedly recommend Its Academic Tutoring. Jessica F. San Marcos read more

We brought our son to It's Academic for an evaluation when he started doing poorly in school. Howard Wiedre, the director, evaluated him and found that he had significant visual processing issues in addition to the ADHD that had been previously diagnosed. Vision therapy and academic tutoring at It's Academic provided the support that our son needed, while the school he was enrolled in was not able to meaningfully address his issues. The difference was stark: the IEP process at the school came up with bandaids at best, while Howard was always concerned with finding and addressing the root cause of our son's issues. read more

I am so grateful for the excellent quality of help provided by the staff of It's Academic Tutoring to my son.

It's Academic feels like a very encouraging environment, an important quality when a child is not doing well in school, the students feel welcome and cared about at It's Academic.

Dr Wiedre and his staff at Its Academic are remarkable. Our daughter attended Its Academic a few years ago during her early elementary school years; she is back again now during middle school. We have always been impressed with the personalized tutoring she has received; it has always been tailored to her grade/age. Dr Wiedre and staff are always looking at the whole child; attempting to find out 'roadblocks' that the child may be having (bad study habits, vision issues, teaching styles, etc.). We have been very pleased with the help our daughter has received and have recommended Its Academic to many others. read more

It's Academic is outstanding. My childs test scores and reading ability were all over the grid during third grade and we just couldn't figure out what was going on. The teachers said just to read more. After a year of remedial educating by Dr. Wiedre and his staff my child is performing above grade level, has a dramatically improved memory, and enjoys reading. It's Academic has changed my child's future for the better through interactive one on one adaptive teaching, patience, insight, consistency and flexibility. I would highly recommend this amazing team of educators.. Mr. & Mrs. Mundy read more

Ti's Academic Tutoring has the most caring and quilifed staff of all the tutoring centers we have dealt with. They not only are tutoring my children they found the sorce of the challenges and referred us for specialized testing in the area of vision.

It's Academic is the only group of tutors I found with a 360 degrees knowledge on all the fields connected and related to the school and academic system. The professionality and preparation of all of them is oustanding. Howard has put together something that should be follow by many others but with the same accuracy. Both of my boys love to work with them and especially my little one very distractable can benefit the great job. I might be send my daughter also when she'll start college this year. Hurray for It's Academic. Maia M. read more

We have a bright and wonderful boy, who was simply having challenges paying attention at school. He was getting behind, and no one knew why. Dr Wiedre, at It's Academic Toturing, was able to create a program which was fun for our son, and which dramatically improved his comprehension. Our boy loves Dr. Wiedre, and actually looks forward to his tutoring. And his studies are remarkably better. I've recommended It's Academic to friends, and will certainly continue to. read more

After working with Howard's program and going to Vision Therapy (on his recommendation) she is doing much better.

Howard Wiedre is a real expert at communicating with children. He has a warmth, an energy, and a creativity which keeps children's attention rapt.
