Ms. Morrow currently teaches three of my family members, all on different pianistic skill levels. We have nothing but praise for her. Other than being a great teacher, she's also an amazing pianist in her own right and gives classes at a luxurious-looking piano studio (equipped with a grand) in a good area of town, all things that I was looking for in a teacher.

I took two of my kids to Huntington Learning Center, one to get math tutoring and the other for writing. I would discourage anyone from using them. They did not advance the skills of my kids one bit. When I discussed my disapointment with them, they were deffensive, dismissive and did not offer to correct their lousy performance by providing additional tutoring until the appropriate goal was met. I give them an F in job performance, customer satisfaction and accountability. ...read more

“Don’t wait until the frustration is unbearable” According to research done by the National Institutes of Health, 1 out of 5 American children is affected by dyslexia. Sadly, most of these children go undiagnosed and have to suffer for years in school and not knowing why. What is dyslexia? The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) defines dyslexia as “a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate or fluent word recognition.” Dyslexia is not a VISUAL problem, but rather a linguistic problem. It affects people from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Males and females are affected nearly equally. Contrary to what many people think,dyslexia has NOTHING to do with intelligence. Many dyslexic individuals are bright, creative and out-of-the-box thinkers that just struggle to read and spell. 1)Renowned dyslexia expert Dr. Sally Shaywitz says, “The earliest clues involve mostly spoken language. The very FIRST clue to a language (and reading) problem may be delayed language. A seemingly innocent speech delay may be an early warning sign for a future reading difficulty—especially if there is a history of dyslexia in the family.” Once your child begins to speak, look for the following signs: 2) 2)Difficulty with pronunciation. By five or six years of age, a child should have little difficulty saying age appropriate words. 3) 3)Difficulty with nursery rhymes. 3 and 4 year olds love the repeated sounds in nursery rhymes. Dyslexic children are less sensitive to rhyming. A child’s familiarity with nursery rhymes turns out to be a strong indicator of reading success. 4) 4)Struggles to find the right words. It is important to note that dyslexia is an expressive language problem, NOT a thinking problem. 5) 5)Difficulty learning the alphabet. Dyslexic children can’t associate the funny squiggles called letters with their names and sounds. This is the beginning of reading. By the time a child enters Kindergarten they should know most, if not all, of the upper- and lower-case letters. While it is true that dyslexic children have difficulty attaching appropriate names to letters and words, there is no evidence to show that theyseeletters or words backwards. Dyslexic children have trouble naming, but not copying letters. 6) 6)Confusion between left and right, trouble learning to tie shoelaces, and clumsiness are all often associated with dyslexia. 7) 7)Family history of reading problems. Dyslexia is carried as a genetic trait, and one of the biggest warning signs is having a family member who has difficulty reading and spelling. For dyslexic children, the process of learning to read and becoming a skilled reader is painfully slow. The transition requires the child to focus on the internal details of the word, on the specific letters that make up the word and the sounds they represent. Because dyslexic readers understand the meaning of a sentence without fully decoding each word, they do not store the spelling of those words in their memory. The next time they see the word, it’s like they have never seen it before. While most children with reading problems are not tested until 3rd grade in most public schools, the best time to identify and help a child is during the first years of school. These warning signs can all be recognized as early as Kindergarten. Do not wait for them to “grow out of it”, and do not attribute this difficulty to “laziness”, "immaturity" or “lack of intelligence”. It breaks my heart to see that children with dyslexia are often incredibly smart…but they feel stupid. It is so frustrating to know that you are gifted in many things, but not understand why reading and spelling is so difficult. Do not let your child go another year feeling too dumb to learn and succeed in school. Call(210) 495-2626to attend a free Parent Information Seminar at Learning Foundations.
