Testimonials

“We had a fantastic experience working with Ms. Berry to help prepare our son for private-school admission assessments. From the very first session, she built an immediate rapport with our child—making learning fun, engaging, and age-appropriate while still being focused and goal-oriented. Ms. Berry’s deep understanding of the testing process, combined with a kind, patient, and FUN approach, helped our son feel confident and excited to learn. We saw real growth in both his academic skills and his ability to focus, listen, and follow directions—skills that go beyond just test prep. Thanks to Ms. Berry, we felt well-prepared for the entire admissions process. We’re incredibly grateful for the support and would highly recommend Ms. Berry to any family looking for a thoughtful, individualized curriculum for their child that is extremely effective.”
