My daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia when she was in the 2^nd grade.  She received many accommodations to help her succeed, but not much help with English and learning to write.  She had a huge imagination and lots to say about many topics, but she was never sure how to write it all down.  The summer before my daughter entered high school I hired English Practice USA’s, Professor Dawn Cordray as her English tutor. By the time she started high school, she was prepared for her English classes.  So much so that she went from English her first year, to Honors English as a sophomore, AP English as a junior (where she received a 4 on her AP test), and finally dual enrolling in College English 2 her senior year.  She received A’s in all her English classes and, her grade on the English portion of the ACT exam was a 34/36.  Of course, Dawn was always there for her whether it was in person, on the phone, or via email and texting.  My daughter is currently a junior in college and has no difficulty with any of her writing, thanks to her hard work and Dawns excellent tutoring

Our son was in 3rd grade when we asked English Practice USA to help him. He is bilingual and of course, he was struggling with reading and comprehension, and grammar. I guess the big challenge with my son was to earn his trust and connect with him. He is very introverted and does not give his friendship easily. Ms. Dawn had the patience and perseverance to have him working with her successfully. With her continuous rewarding words, he improved academically but above all in his confidence and self-esteem. I love to see him succeed now at school and become every day more independent in his studies.

Also, as a parent, I was worried for my son and Ms. Dawn is always been spending a few minutes after the lesson to reassure me and my husband and to explain everything that they were doing together and what she thought was good to do with him. That made me feel part of the process and always aware of my son’s progress.

Thank you so much Ms. Dawn for everything you have done for our family!
