What Parents Are Saying

“Anabel,

I would like to say that you are a very talented teacher.

I am happy that there is a “happy” connection he has with you and his willingness to work in the class. He wants to share his school report and things from his daily life, it just shows he trusts you.

He is improving. It is interesting to me how the short but frequent classes have an impact. Very different from our previous experience.

Thank you.”

— Lana, parent of 10 year old student in Oakville ON

“Before tutoring, my son couldn’t sit still for 10 minutes. Now, he still can’t sit still but he’s reading for fun and feels proud of himself. Thank you!”

“We wanted our daughter to become fully bilingual, so she attended our local full-day French school. However, she struggled with English reading and spelling. Ms. Anabel’s approach made all the difference for her. We helped our daughter review new words that Ms. Anabel identified as challenging for her. This was the only homework Ms. Anabel assigned. We are thrilled to see our little girl with more confidence in reading.  She is no longer afraid to spell.”

“You are truly fabulous at what you do. God bless!”

— Parent of a 6-year-old student in Halifax NS

“My son was reading well, but his spelling was far behind. We enrolled him in Ms. Anabel’s classes, where she identified his main gaps. She introduced new material clearly, explained the meanings of difficult words, and used dictation to help him with spelling. He has quickly become a much stronger speller and his teacher has commented on the improvement. Thank you so much for all your help, Ms. Anabel!”

“I am so grateful to have found you…!”

— Parent of a 6-year-old student in Fredericton NB

“Our 7-year-old son had been struggling with reading, and when we received his Acadience scores from school, we learned he was performing well below the expected level for his grade. Since working with Ms. Anabel, we’ve seen real progress. His reading has improved greatly, and his grades are up. We will gladly recommend Ms. Anabel to our friends.”

— Parent of a Grade 2 student in Ottawa ON

“Our 9-year-old daughter was struggling with reading below grade level and, although not officially diagnosed with a learning disability, her reading speed was low. Ms. Anabel assessed her and identified the specific areas that needed attention. She has classes two days a week to learn the rules and another two days focused on reading. After a year, her reading speed has improved significantly. We’re very happy with the progress she’s made and look forward to seeing how she continues to grow next year.”

— Parent of a Grade 4 student, Edmonton AB

“I value my son’s sessions very much.”

— Parent of a 6-year-old student in Penticton BC

“Ms. Anabel worked with my twin daughters (age seven) to improve their reading and grammar before the new school year. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made learning enjoyable. The girls learned about adverbs, pronouns, and punctuation and went on to earn excellent grades. We’re so proud of them and so grateful for her help!”

— Parent of a Grade 2 students, Richmond BC

“Our daughter was in Grade 9, but her reading and writing skills were closer to a Grade 4 level. Since starting lessons with Ms. Anabel, we’ve seen a remarkable improvement. She quickly identified the areas our daughter struggled with, such as spelling, punctuation, and reading comprehension, and created a plan to help her.

What really stood out to us was how sensitive and patient Ms. Anabel was with her. Our daughter was initially reluctant to participate in writing or to write in front of her friends, but Ms. Anabel made her feel comfortable and confident despite her age, which encouraged her to take part and learn. Ms. Anabel’s approach helped our daughter gain confidence and take pride in her work.

Through daily lessons that included phonics, decoding, reading, and dictation, she has become a more fluent reader and a much stronger writer. We’re very pleased with her progress and highly recommend Ms. Anabel to any parent looking for a tutor who understands and motivates their child.”

— Parent of a Grade 9 student in Richmond Hill ON

“Our daughter is in full day French school, and although we helped her read books, she was struggling to spell in English. Enrolling her in Ms. Anabel’s classes was the best decision we made. Ms. Anabel assessed our daughter, found the areas that needed attention, and created a clear action plan. Within eight months, her spelling improved significantly, and she gained the confidence to start writing on her own. We are so grateful for Ms. Anabel’s expertise and encouragement.”

— Parent of a Grade 4 student in Calgary AB

“We moved to Canada in May 2022. Our son was 6 years old and he could not speak English. We met Ms. Anabel. She does not speak our language, but she said we can help translate until our son learns more English. She showed him pictures and sounds of letters, and he learned very fast with the worksheets she made. Then, she taught him how to sound out words and some English rules.

 He has been with her for more than 3 years now, and his grades are very good. We like this way for children who are learning a new language.”

— Parent of a Grade 3 student in Vancouver BC

“We are so grateful for Ms. Anabel and the incredible progress our 7-year-old son has made over the past year. When he started at 6 years old, he had limited knowledge of letter sounds, and he is now decoding words exceptionally well. His teacher has also noticed improvements. After about eight months, his teacher commented that his understanding in French has improved as well.

Additionally, Ms. Ms. Anabel is very mindful of his short attention span. She allows him to move around, do pull-ups on his bunk bed, and play with fidget toys. As long as he is completing his work, she doesn’t mind his fidgeting. This approach has kept him engaged and motivated throughout his lessons.”
