"Thankful for Ms. Susan and her Classical Start Tutoring programs. This program is the reason my daughter likes reading. Reading has been a struggle for a while now and the progress my daughter is making is amazing. The tutor sessions are affordable and convenient for busy moms like myself. Thank you again."

"Susan is very skilled in using the Spell to Write and Read curriculum and helped my struggling reader grasps the foundational skills she needed to now enjoy reading! The hour-long lessons were broken up into a variety of activities so it was very manageable for my active 8-year-old. She reads beautiful books, uses the SWR lessons, and also includes fun games for practicing the spelling lists. So thankful for the time Susan spend with my daughter and I would highly recommend her tutoring services!"

"From a child's perspective, Susan is caring, patient and result-oriented. She knows how to go about eliciting responses from the child, based on the child's caliber and exposure. At the end of each lesson, she will ask my son, "What did you learn today?" or something to that effect.
The quintessence of our association is that we are lucky to have found her, and my son is delighted to learn from her."

Reading is the academic equivalent to breathing. Now is the time to prevent future learning problems. Instill a love for learning with great literature and phonics instruction that works!
After one month of tutoring sessions twice a week a fifth grader's parents report her grade in ELAR improved from 78% to 88%! She also earned second place at her school's spelling bee!
Through systematic training in the 45 sounds of English (as they are written in 70 letter groups or phonograms) and 28 spelling rules, any of the one million words in English can be sounded out logically.
Though my current school and privately tutored students make great strides in their skills, my own homeschooled children are my magnum opus. My son scored 35/36 on both the Reading and English sections of the ACT. This was the main factor in earning an $8,000 merit award at the University of North Texas Honors College. My daughter finished high school in three years and while working nearly full-time just completed her sophomore year in college.
