We have loved working with Felicia this year. My daughter has improved so much in reading and become more confident. Felicia also helped us identify the need to get my daughter‘s eyes checked and turned out she needed reading glasses. Grateful for her service for laying a solid foundation for my 7 yr old.

We are lucky to have found Ms. Felicia! Since beginning our tutoring my child has had amazing improvement in ELA scores. Ms. Felicia is a patient and kind teacher who does a great job explaining the why behind spelling rules, word definitions, sentence structure, etc. My child looks forward to each session.

We are so thankful we connected with Mrs. Forest. My daughter was struggling with become a fluent reader and seeing Mrs. Forest has been instrumental in her growth this last year. My daughter loves going to see her and is always happy after her session. She is extremely knowledgable, kind and so helpful for me as a parent navigating this with me little one. So thankful for her!

Felicia is an absolutely phenomenal tutor! In the time my student has worked with her, we have seen drastic growth in his spelling, pronunciation, and retention of vocabulary. Felicia is always adaptable in her lessons and our schedule, which has served well being on opposite coasts. Felicia has made us firm believers in EBLI and all of its benefits!

We are so grateful for Felicia. My daughter was on the wait list and we kept encountering people who would sing her praises. I’m happy to say we got in and Felicia is the biggest cheerleader. My daughter has already made strides in learning and confidence. Felicia is kind, organized, and an expert in her field. She has navigated my daughter’s needs better than I could have hoped and we look forward to going every week! Thank you Felicia.
