JoLynn is the angel our family needed. Her knowledge, genuine care, and love for teaching sets her apart from most educators. My daughter has always struggled with reading and writing.  As her first grade teacher, JoLynn’s approach, careful assessment and technique were a perfect fit for our daughter, allowing her to thrive and improve every month. By school year’s end, she was close to reading and writing at grade level, something I didn’t think possible.  JoLynn dedicated extra time with our daughter to identify and close her reading and writing gaps.  JoLynn guided us through the consideration of, testing for, and confirmed diagnosis of dyslexia.  She continues to tutor our daughter twice a week, providing an environment of love, learning and encouragement. No doubt this is why our daughter never complains about having to stay after school.  We have watched our daughter gain confidence and tools to help her do hard things. I will be forever grateful to JoLynn for seeing in our daughter what others did not and believing that there was more to be done.
