Our Success Stories

“Our daughter began the Reading Mastery program as an apprehensive and struggling student. School was incredibly frustrating- she resisted all attempts at learning, speaking in class or even making friends.  The educators at Direct Approach literally taught her to read- no tears, no frustration, all smiles.  Since those early days working with this company, we have now expanded our time to include both our children- each child gets weekly support in math and language to ensure they both feel prepared and self confident when they are at school. Direct Approach is the very best investment our family makes in our kids every week, hands down.  As a parent, I can’t thank you enough for the support and peace of mind you provide.”

“Our son began Grade 2 reading at a Kindergarten level.  His teacher recommended Direct Instruction Tutoring.  After 9 months of doing the Reading Mastery Program with Direct Approach Educational Services, our son is reading at Grade level.  Now he enjoys reading and best of all, his confidence has increased dramatically.

My daughter has a learning disability, so she really needed help in reading. My daughter likes Direct Approach tutoring because the teachers are really caring. The teachers know how to help her to read by encouraging her to go in her own pace that feels comfortable.”

“These programs (both reading and math) have helped me attain success later in life. It is of the utmost importance to have a firm base in both reading and math and Direct Approach assures this. I am now doing my masters in history at Brock and am finishing up a paper that may be published come September. Take any opportunity you have early in life and try to better yourself…you will be very thankful later on.”

“After an extensive assessment at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, the Direct Instruction Reading Mastery Program was recommended for my child.  I am thrilled to report that after a year of tutoring my child is reading well above his age expectation.  I believe that every child learning the important skill of reading would benefit greatly from the Reading Mastery Program.”

“After an assessment at the Hospital for Sick Children, the Reading Master Program was recommended for my son.  After just seven months he had achieved an above-average grade 3 level in decoding skills and an even greater improvement in his comprehension skills.  Reading has now become a pleasurable pastime that he enjoys in school and at home.”

“Since our daughter started the Reading Mastery Program, she not only improved her phonetic reading skills but her confidence has risen immeasurably.  She is now able to read new material with success and enjoys the challenge.”

“Our daughter attended the Hospital for Sick Children’s Clinical Classroom.  It was recognized that she was missing the basics in reading and math.  They worked with her using Direct Instruction Programs with astounding results and highly recommended we continue this program through Direct Approach Educational Services, Inc.  Since commencing this tutoring, our daughter has progressed tremendously and we are confident that she will finally be able to achieve her full potential.”
