From a recent client: "We met Julie for the first time at the end of my daughter's junior year in HS. She had been struggling with English and after being tested, we learned she tested at a 8th grade level for reading comprehension, but tested at the college level for math. In six months working with Julie, Her SAT writing and reading scores improved 80 points and she began to receive A & B in her senior Honors English class. Thank you Julie!"
