Sophia's ability to connect with children and draw them in to the program is remarkable. The Davis Dyslexia program itself is unique in the way it reaches children. I have been incredibly pleased with both the program and Sophia's work with my children.
I have two very different children with different learning issues and she worked with each to bring out their best and help them to reach their goals that they set. After years of working with various programs and specialists, our older child is now well on his way to reading and catching up on his reading level. Though it has required diligence and hard work, it has been very worth it! Our daughter did the math program and it completely boosted her confidence and her skills in math. She is not filled with the same dread she was before. And as a bonus, it quickly improved her reading level to the point that she has become a non-stop reader.
Sophia's knowledge and guidance through all of this has been immeasurable and I am thrilled to recommend her! -Anna Katherine

Chloe enjoys reading more than before....she feels a lot more confident about her handwriting. She knows which way the letters and numbers go, which was a struggle before. She is very proud of having done the program and she does not feel negatively about being diagnosed as dyslexic, she is actually proud of it because she feels like she is creative and smart and that it is truly a "gift". -Joanne

I highly recommend Learning Tools. Sophia does an excellent job of teaching the Davis program. My grandson, age 13, recently took the math and writing program from her. Since then, he has made more progress in these areas than in the last three years in a school for dyslexic children! Sophia is knowledgeable, patient, flexible, and has great follow-up, too. Just wish we had found Learning Tools earlier!

We were looking for a dyslexia coach for our 14 year old son. Having tried multiple methods and resources to help him, we eventually found Sophia and the Davis Method.
What I love about this approach is that it celebrates the giftings of the dyslexic mind, i.e. a picture thinker, while teaching when and how to suppress these differences.
Sophia, in particular, has been very encouraging and patient with the results and is continuing to stand by us to see the process through to the finish.

Having Sophia come work with our son was one of the best decisions we made when he was 6-years-old. Sophia has an amazing patience with kids and was a welcome addition to our family as she came to work 1:1 with our son for a few weeks.
The Davis program can help reset and retrain the family on how a picture thinker’s mind works, and provides individuals and families the tools they need to succeed and overcome their challenges. Sophia spends time training the whole family on how best to succeed in shifting our teaching and reading methods, and reset our plan.
It takes work and practice, there is no easy button. However, since working with Sophia, we have seen positive improvement with our son’s confidence and comprehension with reading and learning new words. She is still there to counsel or coach us when we need help. If reading is a struggle for you or your child, I wholeheartedly recommend you work with Sophia. -Courtney (Mom of a Young Learner)
Best decision we made.
I'm so grateful for the dyslexia correction work that Sophia did with my son. He was a different kid after the first day. He was happy again. He now recognizes when he is becoming disoriented and corrects himself. Sophia spent time with my husband and I too and we can now identify when he is disoriented and also when he triggers on words while reading. We learned so much from her. She agreed to travel here (to Alaska) and spend a couple of weeks so that he could be in his home environment while going through the program and I think that helped him during this process. We were able to meet with his teachers and she provided the school with a presentation about dyslexia. We are so grateful and wish we had found Sophia from Learning Tools and the Davis Dyslexia Program sooner. -Starla
