I have known Terri in a professional capacity when we worked at Ampark Neighborhood School for the 2014 school year. Terri possesses many qualities that are essential to any community or organization. I found her to be a conscientious and hardworking as well as detailed oriented. She is determined and focused when accepting new challenges and is flexible in response to daily changes in her schedule or routine. Her interest in literacy and ongoing work with the special needs and ELL students have given her a wealth of experience in supporting and implementing strategies for these groups of students.

Terri worked with both of my kids (grades 1 and 4) and helped them both tremendously. She always came prepared with thoughtful lessons that were tailored to each child's needs, and was communicative and transparent with us about their progress. During lessons, she was warm, patient, and flexible with the kids - it was clear how much she cared about them!

Terri is fantastic! She has been providing enrichment to our two children (kindergarten and third grade) for four months. Both children are at or slightly above grade-level performance, but, particularly in this hybrid learning environment, we thought that additional one-on-one sessions, focused on reading and writing would benefit their educational development. Terri understands our goals and has been instrumental in driving our children's progress to date. She is always prepared, responsible, and flexible and consistently demonstrates an acute understanding our our children's learning styles and interests.

Our older child has always been an active reader, but, with Terri, my child's reading comprehension is notably stronger. Perhaps most impressive is her progress on writing: she is writing with much more ease, confidence, and skill. Her writing process is more rigorous, efficient, and better defined, and the sophistication of her written product has improved beyond our expectations.

Our younger child's handwriting and reading skills are benefiting significantly from the enrichment with Terri, and she's improved in word formation and sound recognition in particular. Terri's collection of games and books help progress toward learning goals without feeling like "work."

Both children are more confident learners since working with Terri, and we are grateful for her amazing work and look forward to continuing to see our children progress.
