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.
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.

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

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.
Sophia worked with my son who is autistic and dyslexic. I can only describe what she did as a miracle... he went from crying about math to asking his teacher to quiz him. Her compassion and understand ing of dyslexia is a true gift to my family! -Sarah

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!
