Tutoring with the Barton System has changed his life,
and ours, too.

My son, Garrett, was labeled an “at risk” student every year of his school career. But every year we were told he was not far enough behind to be placed in resource.

The school’s answer was motivation. Garrett was simply not a motivated student. We tried to motivate him with prizes, money, stars — anything and everything — to no avail. So we struggled, trying to help Garrett any way we could, only to have him eventually start acting out his frustration. Everything we tried left us all frustrated, tense, and angry.

This year, he has gotten an hour of one-on-one Barton tutoring as part of his school day, which has changed all that. Not only is Garrett doing his own homework for the first time in his life, but his grades are good — A’s and B’s — and all on his own!

He is so much more fun to be around now. He is not moody, evasive, touchy, gloomy or destructive anymore. I’ve got my happy, playful, fun son back.
