Paula has worked with my 14-yr-old son who has autism both recently and when he was younger, just learning to read. My son was in remedial English all last year, but the lessons and learning almost completely stopped in March due to COVID19. I asked Paula to help get him ready for a typical high school English class. My son had a lot of spelling and grammar issues, did not understand some of the assignments, and was only writing 3 sentences when the assignment called for 5 paragraphs. Paula made it fun for my son by gearing her work with him towards subjects that he enjoys. She knows how to draw on his enthusiasm and encourages him to write longer essays, taught him how to edit his work to contain fewer errors, and also helped him learn to make inferences from what he was reading. Paula is an excellent tutor and a very positive, encouraging person. She gives me regular updates on their work and how well my son is doing. She is very easy to work with and puts in hours of preparation for his sessions---I very highly recommend Paula!
