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!

Sophia is a gentle guide for the Davis Program. She is patient and works diligently to make the understandable to both parents and students.

"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

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

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.

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
