Testimonials
Thank you so much for all the work you did with my daughter. The program you used with her was of great value as she could remember it and it increased her knowledge and reading skills. We appreciated the way you made it fun for her and were always an encouragement to her. She has a lot more confidence in herself now and although she still does not love to read- she can! Thank you so much for your support. We have recommended you to others and will continue to do so. Thanks again!"

Before being tutored by Mrs. Scarff, our daughter had tried at least 5 different tutors, including standardized tutoring from a national chain. Despite their "expertise," none of these tutors recognized her problem as dyslexia. Mrs. Scarff recognized our daughter's processing issues and has, for the past two years, successfully taught her to embrace her strengths, using them to her advantage in a school setting. With Mrs. Scarff's extensive training in Lindamood-Bell and Orton-Gillingham approaches, she is quite skilled in designing a program that will address a student's specific needs.
Going beyond the usual worksheets and flashcards, Mrs. Scarff seeks to be a strong advocate for her students, seeking to instill confidence and self-worth in children who often face ridicule from their peers and sometimes even their teachers. For parents, she can help navigate the often intimidating and confusing educational system. Perhaps most importantly, Mrs. Scarff is dedicated to ensuring that each of her students succeeds in whatever he/she does."
