Testimonials

“When I first began my career in adult education, it didn’t take me long to conclude that good reading skills were essential to earning a GED, completing a college degree, getting a job or a promotion, and just leading a happier, healthier, more satisfying life. As a trained reading instructor myself, I was always on the lookout for skilled teachers who could work with students who struggled with reading, pinpoint the problems, and devise individualized learning strategies. Carolyn Bailey is one of those teachers. Not only does she have years of training and experience, but she enjoys working with all different kinds of people and helping them overcome their reading difficulties. I highly recommend her services!”

“After 3 years of falling further and further behind his peers in reading, our son was finally diagnosed with dyslexia. The school put us in touch with Carolyn and we are glad that they did. With Carolyn’s tutoring, he has dramatically improved. His scores on standardized reading tests went up by double digits, his struggles with reading for classwork have faded and he will even read for fun. We were initially concerned that he would view tutoring as a chore, but Carolyn made it fun and he came to look forward to his sessions with her. As a family, we are incredibly grateful to Carolyn and feel she has helped set our son up for success in the rest of his educational career.”

“I had the pleasure of having Carolyn Bailey join my 1st grade class as a literacy volunteer for 3 years. She joined us weekly to assist in one on one and small group literacy instruction. From the 1st day she joined our classroom it was evident of her knowledge and skills in literacy instruction. Not only did she bring her expertise to our classroom she also shared her loving of learning, dedication to student success and complete understanding of literacy development and developmentally appropriate practice for students. She immediately recognizes strengths in students and targets the areas where students need assistance. She has a warm, caring, and nurturing rapport with students and colleagues. She strives to meet student's needs and bring out the best in them while encouraging a love of learning. She was a very valuable part of our classroom literacy instruction and asset to me as a teacher. I would recommend her as an educator and literacy instructor.”

"Ohh Mrs. Bailey, I first met you when I was in first grade. Mrs. Bailey helped me and I love Mrs. Bailey. She is awesome. She had so many tools for me to help me learn things She helped in so many different ways and that is so cool. She is not just helpful, she is kind and she is amazing. This letter would not be readable without her. She has made me grow as a learner so much. I was excited on tutoring days to get the help and support I needed. I have had a few tutors and not one of them have I liked and enjoyed as much as I do/did to Mrs.Bailey. She is so spectacular to me and me writing this letter right now makes me miss her so much."

"Carolyn is one of the angels in our daughter's life. She came into Ainsley's life at a time when she was struggling with reading and even liking school. Carolyn touched her in a way that allowed her to accept herself, her differences in learning . Through their relationship Ainmsley began to enjoy learning, and gained confidence to read and advocate for herself with her teachers and peers. Ainsley now excels in school and wants to be a teacher to help other kids find their way through their educational struggles. Carolyn is a big part of why this is true."
