Math improved by 4 grade levels!
We strongly endorse Sophia as a facilitator for the Dyslexia Davis Program. Our family has greatly benefited from her services, particularly for our two children who have dyslexia. At the onset of the program, our son, who not only faced learning challenges but also experienced severe migraines, found immense relief and support through Sophia's considerate accommodations. She ensured his comfort by allowing sufficient breaks and regularly checking on his well-being.
Our son participated in the program while in the 5th grade, during which he was home-schooled due to his migraines. His Individualized Education Program (IEP) placed him at a 2nd-grade level in mathematics, and his writing output was minimal. Following his completion of the program, we observed significant improvements in both his academic performance and overall health. He was able to rejoin in-person schooling for the 6th grade, performing at grade level in mathematics and showing progress in his writing skills.
Sophia's professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach have been invaluable. Her communication is clear and comprehensive, making it easily accessible for both parents and students. Her calm and kind demeanor further enhances the learning experience. For those considering the Dyslexia Davis Program, we highly recommend reaching out to Sophia. Her dedication and effectiveness will undoubtedly meet your expectations.

"Learning Tools made a huge difference for our family and with our daughter. We weren't aware the extent of her challenges until well into middle school. Inviting Sophia to support us eased the sense of overwhelm we had. She had a calm presence and a warm style that resonated with our daughter. We not only saw a significant difference in our daughter's reading comprehension and writing ability, but we were heartened by her engagement in the learning process. We'd recommend Learning Tools!" -Charlie

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.

“Both my nine-year-old and my twelve-year-old made immense progress in their week with Sophia. They are now reading much more fluently and challenging themselves with their reading materials.
Sophia met them with warmth and professionalism and in a very short amount of time was able to create a connection that made the learning possible and meaningful. As parents, we are deeply grateful for the Davis method and particularly for Sophia as a gifted facilitator” -R.L.
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!

- My 13 year old daughter attended the Davis Dyslexia Correction Program through Learning Tools six months ago and already we are seeing a great improvement. She worked one on one with Sophia in a calm & welcoming environment for six full days. Since then she no longer avoids reading and writing and her enjoyment and confidence have increased significantly - this after years of suffering at school. Her level of comprehension and use of vocabulary have also improved enormously, as has her spelling, in a very short period of time. In her own words this is what she says about the Davis Program:
“Afterwards it did help me with my spelling and my understanding of the meaning - especially hard words that dyslexics have difficulty with. It was very interesting the way Sophia taught me how to do the Davis Program. In the end I would definitely say that it has helped me a lot. You just have to have the will power & courage to continue with program.”
We cannot thank Sophia enough for her commitment and dedication and would not hesitate in highly recommending her and the Davis program for those with dyslexia.
