A bit over a year ago or so I was at my wits end. I spent endless hours trying to help my son with his math homework and trying to convince him he was capable of the assignment. His grades have always struggled. He’d work so hard for a C but typically a d or an f in math. And reading and writing scores struggled the same. It took a toll on his self esteem and confidence. He needed more help than I could offer. I found builders and they got us started impressively fast. My son has transformed. He has went from ‘needing intervention’ to 89th percentile in math. His class mates ask HIM for help with assignments now. I can see his confidence soaring, he’s improved in every area of his life. I cannot believe The progress he has made with his tutor at Brain Builders. I would highly recommend.

We are SO thankful for Marla and her team! My child sees Tara, and she has completely changed things around for him. The positive effects are felt throughout our whole family. I cannot thank Brain Builders enough for the services they provide, and recommend them to anyone who needs academic assistance.

Life saver! My son has improved dramatically since starting to work with Kaylin. They have a great connection and work in person and remotely. My son’s teacher is a huge advocate of the tutoring I refer often! Thank you!

At the age of 9, my daughter could not read. It truly hurt her to not be like other kids her age. As a homeschool family, we had tried lots of different curriculum, but nothing seemed to work. Enter Brain Builders!! We have been tutoring with Ms. Paula for a year now, and my now 10 year old is reading! It wasn't always easy, my daughter definitely didn't make it easy, but Paula was there through it all. She never gave up on us when many others had. Her patience in difficult situations, her support of me as the difficult student's parent, and her ability to develop a truly caring rapport with my daughter has made all the difference. I know we could do Barton at home or through other services, but honestly, I can't imagine it being nearly as successful. It's the people behind the curriculum that make all the difference! I couldn't recommend Brain Builders more! It is the only place to get the just right kind of instruction for your student!

I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional tutoring Marla has provided for my daughter. When my daughter was struggling at school, we met Marla, who took the time to evaluate my daughter’s needs and plan a tailored course of instruction. Her efforts have made a significant difference. Marla’s patience and dedication were evident as she worked with my daughter to grasp key concepts. Her ability to maintain a growth mindset and encourage my daughter to adopt the same approach was truly inspiring. Thanks to Marla’s support, my daughter’s understanding of the material has greatly improved. I am genuinely appreciative of Marla’s commitment and the positive impact she has had on my daughter’s academic journey. I highly recommend Marla to other parents. You will be incredibly pleased with the results, as the lessons and encouragement she provided have made a lasting impact on my daughter. The skills and confidence she has instilled are truly engraved in my daughter’s heart.

I cannot say enough about Shannon from Brain Builders! She has been an invaluable advocate for my son, and I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and dedication. Recently, I brought her to a teacher conference, and her knowledge and experience were instrumental in finding the best plan for my son's education. Shannon is not only patient and empathetic but also incredibly structured, organized, and consistent. Her teaching style has not only set my son up for success but has also helped him build confidence and skills in reading that I couldn't provide on my own. I feel truly blessed to have Shannon and Brain Builders on my team as we navigate raising and educating my child. Thank you, Shannon, for all that you do!
