Experienced tutor in Spelling in Lutz, Lisa offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I had been trying, and failing, to improve my sons reading fluency for some time before I decided that we would need some outside help. Based on glowing reviews from some other parents, I found Mrs. Easterling. In just a few sessions, Mrs. Easterling was able to identify ways that my son was misinterpreting words in his mind. She set out to address these concerns using many tools including poetry, drawing, visualization, and, of course, reading. This multifaceted approach not only has helped my son improve his reading skills but has also kept him engaged in the process. Mrs. Easterling took the time to explain to me why she is doing certain things, and she also explained them to my son, which motivated him to go along with the process and understand the end goal. While I thought my son simply had a fluency problem, Mrs. Easterling was able to identify underlying causes, including confidence, that caused him to stumble in his reading. These things also impacted his spelling and writing skills that we have since begun to work on. The advances that my son has made in his reading under Mrs. Easterling’s tutelage is only dwarfed by the confidence that he has gained due to the encouragement and positive reinforcements that have marked his sessions. Mrs. Easterling truly cares for the hearts and minds of her students. The joy she has in teaching them is evident not only in her words but in her actions. I have and will continue to recommend Mrs. Easterling to anyone who needs her services.
