testimonials
Parent of 8 Year Old Boy
My child has really shown a big improvement in his attitude both before and after his sessions with Rebecca. I am so relieved to see this change in behavior and really appreciate Rebecca's effort and impact on his learning. I believe that Rebecca, personally, understands and knows how to help my son emotionally.
12 Year Old Girl
At school, I feel like hundreds of different airplanes are flying at me from different directions. Sometimes the planes land in my brain, sometimes they crash, but usually they fly over my head. In Ms Bush's class the planes fly and actually land in my brain and if they don't, she has them fly again. They land safely and are not being knocked by other planes. There is less chaos in my brain. English makes more sense.
Parent of 10 Year Old GIrl
My daughter has struggled with reading for so long and we were so lucky to have found Rebecca Bush. She is truly an exceptional and gifted educator. I couldn’t be more happy with the approach, on-going communication, and results that we are seeing. We have had many experiences with various schools, evaluations, etc. and really by far this has been the best experience we have had. I now have a much clearer view of how we can assist my daughter to improve her reading. I’m very grateful and highly recommend Ms. Bush!
