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.

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

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.

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

“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.
