Testimonials

The reading and comprehension abilities of my son, Michael, have improved exponentially since he started working with Stephanie 2 years ago. He was diagnosed with Dyslexia in school but was given no meaningful intervention. We reached out to her as she was highly recommended by another parent who’s daughter had great results with Dyslexia DFW. Stephanie built rapport with him easily and incorporates his interests so he stays engaged and involved during their online sessions. He has grown into an enthusiastic reader and writer because of their work together. His vocabulary and comprehension have also become very strong because those skills are developed during every lesson. I can not recommend her highly enough.

My daughter really looks forward to her online meetings with “Ms. Stephanie”. She had adapted her teaching style to meet the needs of my daughter’s development over time. When my daughter was so shy, she would only participate through speaking as though her stuffed animals were talking, Stephanie made her stuffed animals “classmates” and called on them by name (with my kiddo being the Ventriloquist). Now just the two of them meet online for lessons. She has been instrumental in building her literacy skills as well as building her confidence.

You are an excellent teacher and we appreciate the progress you have made with our daughter. She is so enthusiastic about coming to her lessons. We are so happy to have found you. My husband and I were discussing when to test our son for dyslexia... we both expressed relief that if he is dyslexic, we know the perfect teacher for him... YOU!

My son was 4 years behind in reading and falling through the cracks at school until he started working with Stephanie. In just over a year, his reading ability rose three grade levels and his self-esteem is greatly improved. Now he enjoys school.

My son Skip had a really hard time with reading. Without Stephanie's help, he would never have developed the confidence necessary to be successful in school. His interest in reading is now not unlike a dog with a bone... He won't turn a book loose until he is done.

My son Gus is finally comfortable going to school. Ms. Poulos has given him the confidence necessary to successfully utilize his talents.

Dorothy K

My daughter has made more progress in two months of working with Stephanie at Dyslexia DFW, than she did with another teacher in over a year. They have a great rapport.
