The Reading Room

Carlin made my daughter's (who suffers from anxiety) experience customized and welcoming. She took the time to get to know my child and create a program suited to her specific needs. Carlin is encouraging and knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Carlin was well versed in early literacy and helped our son learn the fundamentals that he was lacking.

Our daughter started working with Carlin after school early in grade 4. After discovering our daughter had a learning disability related to reading and writing, we tried working with her on our own with only limited success. Carlin was able to quickly and correctly assess her abilities and implement a learning plan that greatly improved her reading, writing and confidence. Her improvements were noticeable in only a few months and helped with her confidence and performance in school. Carlin was also able to give us some tools as parents in order to continue working with our daughter outside of school or tutoring. We would recommend Carlin to any parent who is looking for a tutoring program that will focus on improving skills and arming your child with strategies to overcome their specific challenges.

Carlin is a kind, patient and skilled tutor. My son started working with her after a few difficult years and a learning disability diagnosis. I remember after a few sessions with Carlin, he was beaming when he could spell the word 'lunch'. Now he's reading and spelling long, multi-syllable words with ease, and just aced his final Language Arts exam. Needless to say, his reading and spelling has improved exponentially as has his confidence. He always looked forward to his sessions with Carlin and was proud to share his school achievements with her. I would highly recommend her to any family!

Carlin is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and experienced. During our consultations Carlin answered my questions, and provided important insights helping guide decisions how to best support my son. Carlin also made great suggestions, including activities that he loves.

My daughter has been working with Carlin for one year now and we are blown away at how her reading has improved. Carlin is so patient and makes learning fun for Claire. She actually asks me every Wednesday morning with excitement if today is Wednesday because she knows that’s when she gets to come see Carlin. I have to fight with her every day to go to school but she is always excited when it’s time to see Carlin. She understands how Claire learns and teaches her in a way she understands. We are so happy with her progress. A couple weeks ago Claire was able to read a letter she received with difficult words and no help. It brought me to tears to see her do that! We cannot say enough amazing things about Carlin and highly recommend her.Chris and Amanda

Our son (age 7) has been struggled with reading and we didn't want him to fall further behind over the summer while we were visiting family in Calgary. We first took him to a tutoring center, but were unimpressed with the staff who were on summer break from school and simply put an ipad in front of him.Carlin was and is different! She's a professional who works with children that have learning disabilities. Not only did she help our son, but she helped us by giving us tools and tips to work with our son at home.We highly recommend Carlin! 5 STARS!!!!!
