Learning Tools changed our lives. That sounds trite and made-up but it's true, my child's life was changed for the better after the session we did with Sophia. My kiddo has struggled with some cognitive and behavioral stuff their whole lives and we have always been quick to find workable solutions and supports where we need them. Last summer we decided there needed to be some math help to get through the deregulation of summer and bolster our kiddo until September so we called around and found Learning Tools. This program is so much more than tutoring. Sophia took a deep look into the way our child's brain works and how they are in the world. Every lesson reorganizes a concept that the brain can use more readily. There are tools learned and used in this program that my kiddo uses every day in any subject. If your child is struggling in school or life in general in ways that look extra difficult to you, do yourself and your child a big favor and look into this program. We will always be grateful for this life-changing program. Side note: our kiddo has always had "struggling" academic grades. We are amazed and relieved this year to be seeing all grades in the 80% and higher range for the first time ever. Thank you, Sophia! -Esther
Learning Tools changed our lives.
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!

"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.

"My daughter was struggling in school. She didn’t want to go, got frustrated easily and would break down when she got confused. She would lose concentration easily and it was very apparent in her school work. Teachers also mentioned to me how she would was very easily distracted.
After our time with Sophia, my daughter’s attitude towards school has completely flipped. She is now excited to go to school, she is acing all of her spelling tests, and she is excited for her Monday pre-tests!
The teacher did say Brynn was getting distracted, so we started implanting the tools Sophia taught us in the classroom. This has helped my daughter and her teacher significantly! She is even winning reading awards at school! My daughter had lost all confidence in herself in the classroom and Sophia reassured her, gave her that confidence back, and taught her the tools to use when she starts getting disoriented. Sophia and her program have done amazing things for our household and I could never fully express how grateful we truly are for this amazing program." -Caitlin
My Daughter was Struggling
- 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.
