This year, he received the “Student of the Month” award for attitude and achievement.

Prior to Barton tutoring, Dustin struggled in school. Three years ago, at age 10, his teachers said that he could not spell, and his reading was far below grade level. They told me he was “unteachable.” They painted a bleak picture for his future academics and stated, “We don’t know how he will get through high school — or even middle school.”

He became more and more frustrated with school work, and he began to have serious socialization and behavioral problems.When I questioned his teachers about the possibility of dyslexia, they said, “Oh, you want to label him.” They were in no way helpful. I had no idea where to turn.

At that point, I did an internet search on dyslexia and found your website. You sent me a list of Certified Barton Tutors, and I hired one.

After three years of twice-a-week Barton tutoring, Dustin is about to finish Level 10, and his life has changed. He is happier. He says, “This is the best year!” School is easier. He is getting A’s and B’s. His GPA is 3.5.

This year, he received the “Student of the Month” award for attitude and achievement. He was the recipient of the Vice Principal’s Recognition award. He has also received awards for productivity and helpfulness.

His teacher reports that Dustin is flying through math and reading. She is amazed that he knows high school level words.

Thank you so much for your work. It has made a vast difference for our son. We are so grateful.
