Testimonials
“Mrs. Jesselson was truly a lifesaver for my son. Prior to joining her reading group, he would just sit at the table in the classroom and turn the pages, completely disengaged. Then she started working with him on a daily basis, introducing foundational knowledge with one on one instruction. He became confident in his phonemic awareness, dictation, and is now reading at an instructional grade level. She is calm, patient, and caring with her students, always transparent with feedback to the parents and an all-around partner.”

“When Erica met my daughter, she was very intimidated by writing. Both the act of writing and the planning for writing activities were challenging. Erica helped her learn how to use graphic organizers to effectively plan and execute writing assignments. She also worked on handwriting practice, as well as building up her writing stamina. My daughter loved working with Erica! She makes learning enjoyable, interesting, and interactive.”

“Erica is incredible! She works with our son 2+ times per week, always finds engaging activities for him and makes learning fun! She also politely nudges us all on practicing in between sessions, and consistently updates us on progress. Our son has learned so much from Erica over the past few months, and he is making great progress with her support. We can see it each week as he builds on what they have done in prior sessions, gaining more confidence to engage with reading and writing as he enters 1st grade. We are so grateful to have Erica as a partner in supporting our son’s developing literacy!”

“Erica was a huge help with our son's reading and writing over the past year. We loved seeing the progress he made while working with her. And she was so responsive to our questions while making sure we understood what they were working on. Perhaps most importantly, our son loved working with her and he enjoyed their time together which made things so much easier for us. We'd definitely recommend her.”

“My daughter was really struggling with math in kindergarten. Erica helped her learn early numeracy skills such as one-to-one correspondence, addition and subtraction. She even helped her with basic story problems once she was ready. Erica approached math in a creative, fun and engaging way for my daughter. Any child would be lucky to work with Erica!”

“Erica has been absolutely wonderful to work with! Our sometimes reluctant 1st grader quickly engaged with Erica. She found tactics that our daughter responded to and shifted gears to accommodate her changing needs. We loved her detailed reports that kept us updated on our daughter's progress. We fully recommend her!"
