TESTIMONIALS

After my 7-year-old son was diagnosed with dyslexia, we were so lucky to find Peale. Her training as a reading specialist and her professionalism resonated with me, while her happy, upbeat personality was key for my son’s willingness to learn to read. She helped repair his confidence as well as taught him the foundations of reading. I highly recommend Peale.

Peale became the saving grace for our daughter N in the 3rd grade. N was struggling in school, especially with math. All of our efforts to help her usually ended in tears... for both of us. Peale was recommended to us and began tutoring N. What a difference it made, not only in N’s comprehension but also in her confidence. Our daughter would later be diagnosed with dyscalculia as well as dyslexia. No wonder we were struggling! That following summer, in 4th grade, Peale tutored N in Wilson. In N’s words, “Peale was very helpful and very encouraging. She kept you going. She was fun, cheerful and bright (uplifting).”

Peale also has a special place in our younger son’s heart, who also has dyslexia and whom she tutored Wilson in 2nd grade. In the words of my now 10-year-old, “She helped, Mom. It was good.”

Both of our kids love Peale and the difference she has made in their lives. My husband and I can’t begin to express all that she has meant to our family. She has a way of meeting your child right where they are... shy, withdrawn, fidgety, afraid of failure, feeling overwhelmed, unable to understand why school is so hard, why math and numbers don’t make sense, why their handwriting doesn’t look like everyone else’s... and the list goes on. Peale takes the time to get to know your child, she is compassionate and has a passion to not only help them learn but also the incredible skill to make school fun again. We hold her in highest esteem, with our deepest gratitude.

In 4th grade, my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia. We had some real catching up to do with her decoding skills. I am so grateful for the time and care Peale showed my daughter. She made the Wilson reading sessions fun and engaging, and before long my daughter was making real strides!

Peale worked with our daughter for two years. She created such a connection with her and brought out a sense of

self-confidence and motivation in our daughter…. We appreciated Peale’s never-ending quest to [tailor instruction] in very creative ways to our daughter’s specific interests.
