The group was perfect for (my child), and I saw a confidence and happiness in her I haven't seen academically before. Everything from the differentiated work to the teaching style, visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning was all included while explaining the tasks, and children were given the option to use whatever they felt comfortable with to complete the work."
