Tutoring Reviews by Students and Parents
“I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Cathy Canen. My son began having reading problems at the end of 1st grade. I tried everything to help him learn to read but nothing worked, so we had Cathy tutor him. She thinks outside the box when she works with a student. He began making progress. It was an uphill battle, but he got it! She was so patient and kind to him – he absolutely loved her. Her methods are geared toward the student’s personal needs and personalities. Cathy is the reason my son learned to read – he says that to this day.” ~ Ginny
